The NFL has announced that a record 51% of team employees identify as people of color and/or women. This includes individuals working in football operations, business operations, coaching staffs, and executive roles. The league also revealed that 57% of league office employees identify as people of color and/or women. The increase in diversity has been driven by a rise in executives who are people of color and an increase in the number of women in football operations. The NFL will be discussing their diversity, equity, and inclusion policies at their upcoming owners meeting, as well as hosting a program to promote diversity in front-office job candidates.
