Super Bowl 54

BPR News | By Matt Bush
Published January 29, 2020 at 11:07 PM EST

This is our third annual Super Bowl episode of Going Deep.  One topic in these shows has been constant - race.  Ahead of Super Bowl 54, we look at the NFL's Rooney Rule, and how the number of minority head coaches in the NFL has decreased over the last decade.  We also examine gender roles in football.

(Music featured includes Enchanted Forest by Audiobinger and Atmosphere by Borrtex)
