Case study1In 1920, national football league was founded and has 32 franchise located in the major cities around the world. League is not merely sports it's a business enterprises to earn the lump sum profit. There is accusation on an owner of been racial prejudice, which resultedin lower percentage of minority coaches and administration. The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES), located at the University of Central Florida (UCF), publishes the Racial and Gender Report Card annually to indicate areas of improvement, stagnation, and regression in the racial and gender composition of professional and college sports personnel and to contribute to the improvement of integration in front office and college athletic department positions. The publication of the 2015 NFL Racial and Gender Report Card follows the publication of the reports on college sport, the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball. The remaining reports for this year will be for the Women’s National Basketball Associate and Major League SoccerTo rectify the problem lawyers Johnnie Cochran and Cyrus Mehri has proposed a plan to increase the number of the minority in NFL.
