Here is a Goodell useless nod to affirmative action. I am against affirmative action and it would really suck if the NFL started that crap, so I am relieved that at least this plan shouldn't affect anything.
And..

I don't think a team would make those decisions based on moving up a few slots in the third or fourth round. I'm sure those decisions will be made on merit just like always. The only thing this would accomplish is give some people a false reason to hate a minority selection, and taint the qualifications of the minority hire.
Good job Goodell. If it passes, this weak gesture won't accomplish anything but piss off all involved and it won't change anything.
Under the proposal, which is aimed at fixing diversity issues across the league, a team could upgrade its third-round draft selection by up to 16 picks if a minority candidate is hired. The draft pick could go up 10 spots for hiring a minority general manager or an equivalent-level position and six spots for hiring a minority candidate as head coach.
And..
If the plan is approved, teams also could move up five spots in the fourth round should a minority general manager or head coach enter the third year on the job. If a minority quarterbacks coach is retained after one season, the club would receive a fourth-round compensatory pick.
