Report: NFL racial hiring up, women hires lagging
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — An annual report on the diversity of the NFL personnel shows the league has achieved an all-time high mark for racial hiring practices, while it continues to struggle with diversity in gender hiring at the team level.
The report released Wednesday by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport gave the league its fifth consecutive A for racial hiring and a C-minus for gender hiring. The league received an overall grade of B.
At the league office, the total number of women and people of color employed at or above the vice president level increased by one hire to 32 in 2014 compared to 2013.
At the team level, women accounted for 17 percent of vice presidents in 2012, but just 15 percent in 2013.
