State Attorney General James Uthmeier warned NFL officials Wednesday that the Rooney Rule and other similar hiring policies are “illegal” under Florida’s civil rights laws. In a letter to Commissioner Roger Goodell, Uthmeier pressed the NFL to confirm by May 1 it would no longer enforce its policies requiring teams to interview minority candidates, including women, or else the state could take “civil rights enforcement action.”

Civil rights... for who exactly? Your right to interview only white people?

The rule is stupid. NFL teams interview these candidates out of obligation and then never hire them. It's a meaningless rule. Getting rid of it won't do anything.
