Jane Coaston: Football’s race problem, ‘nothing is ever just about sports’
After former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores, one of only two black coaches in the NFL, was fired this year — and then sued the league for discrimination — football’s race problem, once again, burst into the open. This week on “Meet the Press Reports,” we look at how America’s most popular sport got to this point, why past attempts at reform have failed and how other sports have successfully tackled inequality.
Jane Coaston, the host of “The Argument,” the New York Times podcast about politics and culture, joins Chuck to talk about football’s race problem.
