The NFL, the league with no black owners, has had a problem with hiring non white coaching and executive candidate since its inception.

NFL這個沒有黑人老闆的聯盟，從成立之初就存在聘請非白人教練和高管候選人的問題。

Nearly 75% of the players in the NFL African American.

NFL中近75%的球員為非裔美國人。

But there are only four minority coaches and to general managers of color under the threat of a lawsuit from the late Johnnie Cochran and Institute of the Rooney Rule, which has been in perfect but more effective than expecting NFL teams to improve on their own.

但只有四個少數族裔的教練和到總經理的顏色在已故的約翰尼-科克蘭和研究所的魯尼規則的訴訟威脅下，這已經在完善但比期待NFL球隊自己改進更有效。

This week, the league enacted a rule that will grant to third round compensatory draft picks, the teams who lose nonwhite assistant coaches and general managers to external promotion.

本週，聯盟頒佈了一項規則，將給予第三輪補償選秀權，失去非白人助理教練和總經理的球隊將對外晉升。

Theo NFL hopes this will incentivize teams to develop internal candidates, which presumably diversify the hiring pool.

西奧NFL希望這能激勵各隊培養內部候選人，這樣大概能使招聘庫多樣化。

The problem with this plan is obvious.

這個計劃的問題很明顯。

On its face.

從表面上看。

It implies the reason teams don't hire nonwhite candidates is because they aren't properly trained, making them lesser candidates.

這意味著團隊不僱傭非白人候選人的原因是他們沒有經過適當的培訓，使他們成為較差的候選人。

But the problem has never been with those candidates.

It's always been with the folks who do the hiring.

這話NFL不願意說出來可以理解，但總得有人說。

If there's to be any progress, these carrots won't entice change.

如果要取得任何進展，這些胡蘿蔔不會誘導改變。

So far on Lee, the stick has done that.

到目前為止，在李先生身上，棍子已經做到了這一點。

Accountability is what the NFL needs, and it's the thing it wishes to avoid.

問責制是NFL所需要的，也是它希望避免的。

The bottom line is NFL teams have to be bribed or threatened to fix its hiring problem.

底線是NFL球隊必須要通過賄賂或威脅來解決其僱傭問題。

Which tells me the only problem.

這告訴我唯一的問題。

C隊的公關很差。

They don't want to be honest.

他們不想說實話。

They just want to say they tried.

The standard is the standard.

標準就是標準。

Ask any Steeler, and they'll tell you those five words sum up the essence of their coach.

沒有一個球員願意讓人失望 球隊的每一個成員的工作人員都覺得連食堂的廚師都有關係，他是一支每年進入第十週都能保持不敗的球隊的骨幹。

Hot names and new darlings emerged in the coaching ranks, and all the while, Tomlin has remained steady, reliable and underappreciated.

教練隊伍中出現了熱門人選和新寵，而在這期間，湯姆林一直保持著穩定、可靠和不被看好的狀態。

He weathered the Antonio Brown and leave Ian Bell drama better than anyone realized.

他經受住了安東尼奧-布朗和離開伊恩-貝爾的考驗，比任何人都要好。

Last season.

上個賽季。

He lost his star quarterback, juggled a couple backups and still managed to get the Steelers to eight and eight.

他失去了他的明星四分衛，雜耍了幾個備份球員，但仍然成功地將鋼人隊帶到了八個和八個。

Let's judge sincerity, shall we?

讓我們來判斷一下誠意，好嗎？

I mean, it's almost certainly not what fans want us media types to do.

我的意思是，這幾乎肯定不是球迷希望我們這些媒體人做的。

But let's go ahead and weigh in on that intangible.

但我們還是先來掂量掂量這個無形的東西吧。

Why?

為什麼？

Because new 76 year old White Sox manager Tony LaRussa wants us to constantly.

因為76歲的白襪隊新任主教練託尼-拉魯薩希望我們不斷。

It's what he said several times during his press conference about two weeks back when asked about players showing emotions about boisterous team celebrations about peaceful protest during the anthem.

這是他在大約兩週前的新聞發佈會上說的幾次，當被問及球員對喧鬧的球隊慶祝活動表現出情緒時，關於國歌期間的和平抗議。

He's fine with them now, as long as it's all sincere.

他現在和他們相處的很好，只要是真心實意的。

Let's forget for the moment how insincere that sounded, given his very vocal opposition to them in the past.

讓我們暫時忘記這話聽起來有多不真誠，因為他過去非常明確地反對他們。

Because, as LaRussa said in his press conference, I would look at actions.

因為，正如拉魯薩在新聞發佈會上所說，我會看行動。

Okay, then let's take a look at La Russa's actions from just eight months ago, According to a police report during a DUI arrest obtained by ESPN Zone Jeff Passan earlier this week, he attempted to convince the arresting officer not of his sobriety, but that his resume should set him free.

好吧，那就讓我們來看看拉魯薩八個月前的行為吧，根據ESPN Zone Jeff Passan本週早些時候獲得的一份酒後駕車被捕期間的警方報告，他試圖說服逮捕他的官員，不是他的清醒，而是他的履歷應該讓他自由。

I'm a Hall of Famer baseball person, LaRussa said.

我是一個棒球名人堂的人，拉魯薩說。

I'm legit.

我是合法的。

Not exactly the actions of a leader.

不完全是一個領導者的行為。

Let's judge LaRussa sincerity When asked by ESPN on Monday to discuss the charge, I have nothing to say, he said.

讓我們判斷LaRussa的誠意當ESPN週一要求討論指控時，我沒有什麼可說的，他說。

Right.

好吧，我知道了

That's probably because the White Sox have no intention of saying anything either until the matter has played out legally.

這可能是因為白襪隊在事情沒有合法發揮之前，也沒有打算說什麼。

There are enough baseball reasons to question the LaRussa hiring, but using his own measure might be the most damning.

有足夠的棒球理由來質疑拉魯薩的僱傭，但使用他自己的措施可能是最致命的。
