That's the NFL though, most people that get to work in these sport corporations, that's what the teams are, have connections within the league. I bet a lot of coach's,OC, and DC are either directly related, indirectly related, or know someone on the inside/know someone who knows. A lot industries are like this, I'm sure most of everyone on this site have experienced this. I'll use myself as an example. A month ago I applied for a job that pays more than where I'm at now, the job required a CDL, I have a CDL. In the interview one of the supervisors is a Mexican guy. I didn't get the job. Was this racism? Did that guy hate whites because all whites hate minorities. Come to find out, because I live in a small town, I found out who they hired. This guy had no CDL but, he was a cousin of that supervisor. At the end of the day the whole racism crap is stupid, most of the time it's who you know not what you know.
