2730426, Didn't realize their new GM was Black

Not that if teams were hiring white coaches and execs who were uber-experienced and talented the discrimination wouldn't be present. But half of these guys are walking in off the street with little experience and (to me) have shown very little and getting jobs because they 'interview well.'

I don't normally get worked up about hiring practices. But given the outrage (now seemingly performative) about injustice towards Black and other POC showed by some teams in the summer of last year, these governors have doubled down on their laisse-fair actions with regard to race and hiring management and it makes me somewhat angry.

I'm not shocked or learning anything especially new this hiring cycle, but it does cement in my mind how little these execs and governors care about social progress.
