导出博客文章The NFL received its seventh consecutive A grade for racial hiring practices and
maintained a C-plus for gender hires, according to the annual report released
Wednesday by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport.The TIDES grades
were the same as the league received in 2015, although the NFLs overall B grade
of 83.6 percent was just slightly lower than the 84.1 percent it received last
year.According to the study, the NFL received a score of 91.1 percent for racial
hiring practices -- a 2 point drop from last years all-time high score of 93.1.
For gender hiring practices, the NFL increased last years score by 1 percentage
point to 76 percent.The gender grade continues to be of special significance
this year, Dr. Richard Lapchick, the author of the study, said in a statement.
Following the 2014 Ray Rice incident, the NFL has been under scrutiny for
domestic abuse and mistreatment of women.While there still is a long way to go
at the team level, the gender grade over the last two years with an increase of
6 percentage points and half a letter grade overall is noteworthy. The number of
women in significant decision-making positions in the league office continued to
expand.There are 35 women who serve at or above the vice president level in the
league office, up from 31 last year and 21 in 2014. However, when it came to
diversity, the score dropped from 28 percent in 2015 to 26.9 percent.I am
concerned that the percentages decreased for women and people of color on NFL
teams at the vice-president level and in senior administrator positions,
Lapchick said. The number of general managers of color declined from seven to
five. Teams need to follow the example set by the league office, as percentages
for women at the team level remain significantly below those at the league
level.There was no change from 2015 with six people of color currently in NFL
head coaching jobs; the high was eight coaches in 2011. However, when it came to
hiring practices for assistant coaches, the percentage plummeted from 37.9
percent in 2015 to 31.9 percent this season.

New Orleans forward Anthony Davis was chosen Friday to replace the injured
Kobe Bryant in the NBA All-Star game that will be played in his home city.This
time there were no late goals conceded. There were no leads blown. But the
outcome was still the same for Toronto FC on Saturday as the clubs long
suffering supporters headed home with the familiar feeling frustration and
disappointment. Its now four straight defeats for Ryan Nelsens team, and just
seven points from 11 matches. The one win came in the clubs home opener over two
months ago, at a time when there seemed to be hope and enthusiasm for the new
regime at the club, with players showing a fighting spirit and cohesion.
Unfortunately, it seems the team has gone backwards over the last few matches.
On Saturday, there were a few signs of an attacking spark in the first half. In
fact had Justin Braun not wasted one of the best chances he will get all year,
Toronto would have been ahead against Columbus. That squandered opportunity
summed up an afternoon which was largely lifeless and devoid of ideas in front
of goal for the home team. In the end, the Reds were punished by a team that
took full advantage of a chance that came its way. Dominic Oduro scored the only
goal of the game just before half time for a Crew side that had arrived at BMO
Field having lost three out of its previous four matches and had failed to score
in those three games. Despite being a goal down, Toronto struggled to find any
rhythm or urgency as they searched for a game-tying goal in the second half. In
the lead up to the match, Toronto FC President Kevin Payne made no secret of his
upset at the way the players have been responding of late: "We need more guys
that are going to do whatever it takes to get a result," he said. "Weve only got
one or two guys on our team right now in my opinion." However, Saturdays loss
wasnt because of a lack of desire. It was just a lack of quality. There have
been a number of injury problems to deal with, but despite the fact the club is
well underway with its makeover (15 of the current 29-man squad are new to the
team this season), there are still major weaknesses. Toronto FC badly needs more
creativity and they have attempted to address that recently with the arrivals of
experienced winger Bobby Convey from Sporting Kansas City and on loan New
Zealand international forward Jeremy Brockie.dddddddddddd Both of those players
made debuts off the bench against the Crew, but I still believe the centre of
midfield is an area where an attacking addition is vital. There is goal-scoring
help on the way with the return of Danny Koevermans, who saw his first action
since last July when he made his comeback from injury in Saturdays reserve team
match against the Crew. Service to the attacking players has to be better
though. For much of this season, Robert Earnshaw has been offered little
support, with two of his five goals coming from penalties, and the other three
from his own quick thinking. The defence remains an issue. The signing of
Scottish international Steven Caldwell will hopefully go a long way to solving
the issues, but again on Saturday, Toronto were made to pay for a defensive
lapse when Oduro was able to run in behind the backline and score one-on-one
with the goalkeeper. Darren ODea had a decent game at left back, but theres
little doubt the teams best current central defensive pairing would be Caldwell
and ODea, and with the current slump showing no signs of ending, the club
desperately needs solidity and stability in the central defence. If Toronto FC
had been challenging for the playoffs this year, it would have been an
overachievement following the dismal season in 2012. However a reasonable
expectation was that they could stay in touch with the pack, and at least give
supporters hope to cling onto into early fall. After positive signs early on,
the improvement hasnt continued. Payne and Nelsen have talked of plans to bring
in more players as they attempt to solve the problems, but sitting 11 points
outside the playoffs a third of the way through the season, its getting to the
stage where this year will once again be solely about trying to lay a foundation
for the future.
