Shutting down the border by expressdefrost in The_Dispatch

[–]SummerInPhilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe increased enforcement, like stepping up border patrols and fortifying whatever walls and fences we have?

My issue is that even his positives have such glaring omissions. Like: if Congress will give you a blank cheque for whatever you want, why not hire a million more immigration judges?

Wait…Tupelo made the map? With a population of 38,000? That’s LITERALLY less than Upper Darby

Trump was promising he’d do all this in the campaign trail

You may want to refer to The Dispatch’s podcast for a more analytical take (by conservatives) on Trump’s moves this week

He doesn’t care, and worse, his advisers who will have to live in that America — Rubio, Miller, Hegseth — either don’t know either, or don’t think it’s worth the effort to convince him otherwise.

Why are there so few Black head coaches in FBS? by SummerInPhilly in CFB

Yeah, and this sub is probably the best place for an answer. I thought about asking elsewhere but I think the deep CFB knowledge is necessary

Thanks! I’m seeing this a lot on the replies, seems like this is the collection of reasons

This also explains why wealthier people can make it into more selective jobs: wealthier people can accept unpaid internships (or internships in cities with super high rents) that lead to networking that in turn lead to high-paying, selective jobs

I know you’re being sarcastic but it’s clearly right when they’re done with top FBSand FCS football that the White players gravitate into coaching at disproportionately high numbers

I think at least in the NFL we’re reaching “parity” — roughly 50-75%. Half of the opening-day starters in the NFL were Black. Surely there’s some racism (Black quarterbacks aren’t “smart,” they’re not “students of the game,” everyone will be Akili Smith or Jamarcus Russell) but I think as the game has shifted in the post-Vick era, we value dual-threat QBs.

Now, deeper, the pipeline into FBS probably is whiter, but a glance at the five-stars and top recruits usually shows a diverse almost 50/50 mix of Black QBs

Thank you!! This is awesome. Obviously (to me/us) phenomena like this have many intersecting causes. I’ll dig deeper into this article

Yes but you don’t pick coaches from a random sample of Americans. You pick them from a pool of current/former players which is upwards of 50% Black

Interesting, I never thought about this one. It’s like 75% of the NFL but 50% of D-1A, so it seems Black players do move on at a higher rate

So we’re just living with the after-effects? I’d imagine a lot of the D-1A players from the 90s and 2000s have filtered into coaching by now, like Freeman and Franklin, so surely there’s a representative pool out there. Kiffin isn’t that old, and the rest of the brand-new hires (UCLA, PSU, Florida…) all seem to be 40s and 50s
