As you may or may not have heard, Roger Goodell announced the introduction of a new “Rooney Rule” specifically aimed at increasing the number of women working in the NFL. While this, by itself, is a worthy cause and aids in the fight for gender equality, the NFL, as usual, has managed to botch things spectacularly. By semi-nefarious means, I have managed to snag a copy of the new proposed rules. Presented, for your consideration, are some excerpts:
1.2 – For any NFL front office job opening, a qualified female candidate must be interviewed.
1.2.1 – A female candidate is considered to be qualified by demonstrating experience in each of the following areas:
1.2.1.1 – Playing the game of football at a professional level


1.2.1.2 – Refereeing the game at a professional level

1.2.1.3 – Coaching for a football team at a professional level

1.4.1 – The successful candidate will have the ability to:
1.4.1.2 – Work well with NFL coaching staff

1.4.1.3 – Assume multiple positions within the organization


1.4.1.4 – Work well with media partners

1.6.2 – Any team interviewing an African-American woman will be considered to have satisfied the existing Rooney Rule.

1.7 – No cheerleaders will be considered.
