No but apparently this thread was. Your dumb question was answered a long time ago, yet you continue on with your racist agenda.

Shut up, it is a debate that has been going on for a long time but of course you come with the typical bu bu but racism isn't around much anymore white man argument. I bet you also figure since we have a black president that racism is over and you have a few "black friends". You are the worst type of racist apologist.

Anytime there is history of solely old white men in a positions of power over black people race should always be factored into the debate.
There are degrees of wealth. Paying a black player 20mil is not a lot to the owner. For most it's a side hustle. So when I hear people,comparing sports to slavery I listlen to that opinion. Especially if there a little to no blacks in power, makes you think there is a reason for this.
And for what's its worth I have never heard one person opt to be a coach instead of a player. shyt reminds me of the time I read about a ref and he was saying he payed more attention to the refs than the players cuz thats what he wanted to be .

To the first bolded, many times the black athlete or athlete in general has more power than the coach himself. Look at Dwight Howard or Mike Vick in Atlanta.
To the second, it's not that they opt out to be a coach instead of playing, it's the reality of them not being able to play at that level so then they fall back to trying to be a coach.
Look at Jon Gruden, he couldn't play in the NFL, so he foxused on coaching in the NFL. You look at the timeline of a lot of coaches and they get started around 25, once their college run is over and they had a few years to come to the realization they can't be a pro player
Imagine a young black man in High School telling his friends " I wanna be the next Marvin Lewis". Coaches and coordinators make decent $$ and are involved in the game.People will look at you crazy,because your not running for touchdowns or making tackles.Yet you are doing somethingn 100% safe,where if your good enough you can work your way up the ladder.
16 year old black male teenager:Yo this ni99a said he wanna be Marvin Lewis.... "haha ol pocket protector ass ninja" "You house negro" etc
More then likely after this conversation the young man will give up his dream.Because fellow blacks automatically encourage youth to be the players not the coaches,coordinators or owners.Everybody can name Cam Newton but cant nobody name a black offensive coordinator or want to be one.
You don't think white guys wanna play too? Every single coach of every single sport either played professionally or wanted to. White guys or coaches in general don't chose coaching over playing, life does. Everybody would rather play than coach. Nobody grows up wanting to be a coach except maybe a coaches son and they would still prefer playing over coaching. The issue is what happens when a guy can no longer play. That's when coaching comes into play. When a guy is 25 and both of his knees are bad you think he's gonna
at a coaching offer? You think a 30 or 40 year old who just don't got it anymore and doesnt' really have any other streams of income is gonna 
at a coaching offer?

You're a mental midget that can't accept simple explanations like the fact that most black youths don't aspire to be coaches. That's just one of the many reasons already given in this thread that you choose to ignore. It's just easier for you to chalk everything up to being unfair and racist.

You're wrong. There are many more white athletes that begin setting up that future for themselves well before they're done playing. Many of them begin as assistants at very low levels in high school or their alma maters.

Setting yourself for a future when you are done playing and growing up wanting to be a coach are two different things. The idea that any kid of any color grows up looking to coach rather than play is asinine. I can't speak to what certain athletes are doing as far as their future because I don't have access to that info and neither do you. We dont' know what guys have tried to get lower level coaching jobs and been rejected. What we do know is that the percentage of black head coaches today is not commensurate to the percentage of black players that have played over the last 30-40 years. I'm sure it's because black players just don't wanna coach.
Actually a lot of blacks aspire to be coaches but what they get is the offensive line coach, qb coach, rb coach, wr coach, of there lucky offensive or defensive cooridinator
But head coach?
