Good riddance, take your gay rule with you

>He surprised many with his public endorsement of Barack Obama for president. The family had traditionally been very private on politics, even being rumored to have a Republican bent. Rooney responded to his public endorsement with: "When I think of Barack Obama’s America I have great hope. I support his candidacy and look forward to his Presidency."
>On March 17, 2009, President Obama announced he had nominated Rooney to become the next US ambassador to Ireland, citing the owner's longstanding support for Irish-American charitable causes.[3] In 2008, Rooney gave $30,000 to a Democratic Party committee that aided Obama's campaign, according to CQ MoneyLine, a non-partisan group that tracks political contributions. According to David Lewis, a Vanderbilt University political scientist and the author of The Politics of Presidential Appointments, "giving coveted ambassadorships to political supporters is a relatively low-risk way for presidents to repay campaign debts."[20]

Good.

Tell me, what terrific white coach is unemployed right now because of the Rooney rule? Surely there has to be some practical reason why you're in tears about it.

The Rooney/Mara connection is too influential on the NFL.

RELOCATION WHEN

in before team taken over by squabbling bunch of siblings who fire Omar Epps and turn the team into a laughingstock death spiral.

He was a good owner, but I hope the rule named after him dies with him.

I understand the original intent of the rule, but nowadays teams already have a coach in mind when they get rid of the old one. The ensuing dog and pony show is demeaning to all involved.

See ya.
