A new study has found that the NFL has improved its hiring practices to increase diversity.
The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida released the report Thursday. It gives the league an A- grade for racial hiring practices, a C on gender hiring practices, and a B overall. Those are the highest grades the NFL has received from the institute over the years.
The study analyzes the racial breakdown of the league’s players and coaches and the racial and gender breakdown of team management and other officials.
The report cites “sustained progress” in improving racial diversity at the head coach and general manager positions.
