In 2016, the NFL stated it would use virtual reality training to confront racism and sexism. .
We wondered if anything had really changed in the NFL since then so we analyzed research from NFL’s Diversity and Inclusion Reports and The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports.
According to the NFL’s 2020 Diversity and Inclusion Report, released March 21, 2020, it seems not much has changed in terms of opportunities for people of color in general manager and coaching positions.
In the 2016-2017 season, only 23.3% of positions were filled by people of color versus 22.58% of positions being filled by people of color in 2019-2020 season. .
In terms of ownership, it seems that only two people of color hold a majority stake in NFL teams with only seven women holding a majority interest.
The percentage of people of color on NFL player rosters has decreased since 2016 from 72.6 percent in 2016 to 70.1 percent in 2019
