So a bizarre post came up on my twitter feed and I have to share it with the world. I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it.
NFL owners will vote next week on a proposal by which a team could move up 6 spots in the 3rd-round of the draft for hiring a minority HC and 10 spots in the 3rd-round for hiring a minority GM, per @JimTrotter_NFL. Currently there are only 2 minority GMs & 4 HCs in the NFL.

Is this a complete joke? There is no possible way this could be true? Well according to Jim Trotter owners are voting next week to decide if this will be pushed foward.
BREAKING: NFL owners will vote next week on a resolution that would improve a team's draft position if it hires a person of color as head coach or general manager, per sources. Currently there are only 2 black GMs & 4 HCs of color, matching 17-year low👇🏾 https://t.co/867umaUe4o

In all my years of seeing reports this has got to be the most eye popping. There’s no way they can actually pass this right?
