Except this isn't the complete picture of what he's saying at all, he also how the products of "single mothers" are also very successful in other roles on the team and then traffics in stereotypical tropes to make the point.
My parents are divorced but even when they were married my dad never went to any teachers conferences or field days or honor roll events I had at school, only my mom went.

Because he didn't care
If youre saying you wanted him to acknowledge more of the potential successes of single mother athletes then thats fine to want to have heard that. But that isn't who is specifically looking for when blindly assessing potential. Just because he wants someone with a 3.5GPA doesnt mean he's saying someone with a 3.0 isn't smart or capable. It means someone with a 3.5 has demonstrated themselves to be more capable. Just because his ideal lineman is 6'5 it doesnt mean he's saying a 6'3 lineman or 6'8 lineman cant do it. If youre splitting hairs and making comparisons, all things being equal, you go with the one provided with the most tools and signs of stability.
Regarding a higher standard for a QB because he wants someone who grew up in a certain type of household that involved a father figure and discipline because they will be setting examples for the rest of the team. Who will be the eyes ears and mouth of a coach so he wants someone who has experience taking direction from a male figure. None of this means that a kid from a single parent home is incapable of the same, because we know thats not true. But they will lack the experience of having done so. The experience is the additional tool to get a sought result. It can happen for both but the likelihood is more so with one than the other. The experience is the difference from someone doing something they've always done vs someone doing it for the first time.
The whole thing is more tongue in cheek than some people want to realize. And I can see why it would rub some folks the wrong way but this isn't coming from some racist cac. It's coming from a black father who has raised several young black boys to adulthood among 100s of other black boys he's coached and mentored. I leave it to him to know what observations he's had over the years to conclude it. He's not excluding black men from any opportunities available to them.

ill just say this
Whether what Deion said is true or not, he didn't have to say that publicly and in the fashion that he did. He was pandering to white ppl, certainly wasn't pandering to black ppl. And he confirming a lot of same perspectives that a lot of these racist white football guys uphold even when it isn't always necessairly true. I"m sure a lot of em saw that and laughed.
If Jim harbaugh said some shyt like that he would be apologizin and fighting for his job.
Bad look

Thats exactly what jobs do. Plenty of tech and top tier companies hire almost completely through pipelines that bring in folks who went to certain Ivy league schools only. They dont hire based on who has a better resume. They will pick a mediocre harvard grad over an exceptional community college grad. They also hire based on "cultural" fit which is completly up to their discretion and how they define their culture.
And Deion never said those are the only things he looks for. But environmental factors are definitely important when it comes to leadership. Why do you think you never see major political parties back a president that's single. They look for Married people with family to run for office. Same thing with corporate CEO's and C suite types. It's hard to get promoted to those levels if you aint a family man. Having that traditional family structure shows leadership.
What school you went to is apart of the educational portion of your resume though. Im pretty sure the degree of difficulty at Harvard is greater than it is at the community college.
And as it pertains to sports,where you come from matters. Just for the fact being top ranked in the state of Texas,where football is huge. Looks better than being top ranked in the state of North Dakota.
These things are apart of your resume that show what the athlete/student did. And who was the competetion they did it against. But some of yall wanna cherry pick. You want to be able to pick which stereotypes are okay to use in the hiring proccess. Alot of the coli is 6figures 6 certs,and involved in fields where math is required. If they overlooked you who were the top of your class,for some mediocre asian. On the basis that you went to a shytty highschool,is that fair to you.
"Statistically asians are better at math,so he has more upside
"Even though you show and proved in highschool,then showed and proved in a respectable college,the belief is you "maxed out" based on statistics and stereotypes.
Yes kids from single parent homes are more at risk and have a more difficult time in many areas. But if a kid has shown and proven with grades. Shown himself to NOT fall into all the traps the hood has to offer. Your telling me this kid has to do more to show they are competent,smart,have a mind of their own? Just because they come from a single parent home?The resume speaks for itself
And also using politics is a bad example imo. They dont back single candidates because they need people to trust the candidate. And someone with a family who has a religion,is deemed more trusting to major demographics of people.
Now tell me if this one is fair
"We would rather higher white managers than black, because white workers are less likely to question if they are qualified. Which makes them a better leader if they arent being second guessed. And black people are more likely to do what a white man says with less pushback. Things will run alot smoother this way"
Maybe thats why they stick to hiring white coaches . Out with the Rooney Rule according to thecoli. Hope yall keep this same energy if Deion end up struggling to get a nfl gig#TheyHadReasons

The problem is his theory has been proven wrong by over a dozen pro QBs who performed at a NFL starter level.He's using bizzare as race psuedoscience like a old white man.Also you are a bad manager if you not taking performance into account worried bout if soneone married or Christian you sound like a white man.
