I wonder if part of that reason is that in order to become a pro manager you usually have to start at the bottom. You first become a single A team coach in a small town at a low salary and struggle there for years before moving up the chain. Maybe many Blacks are unwilling to follow that route if they are good enough to play pro ball.<br />On another note: I work for the county government and constantly made aware of my "male, white privilege" via numerous posters throughout my building. When reading how women still only earn 70% of their male counterparts pay I am tempted to add to the poster that as a man I am responsible for 90% of all work related deaths. While they attempt to claim that somehow men and women who do the same job receive different salaries more likely there is a different variable in play such as uninterrupted years of experience, dedication to a career and different risk tolerances between the sexes.Bobkatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388159713103123175noreply@blogger.com
