Reply #3: Dr. Runfola evidently didn't read the study and overlooked this footnote [View All]

That basically invalidates any of the claims that are being made about its results.

Dr. Madden, the author of the study, put the following , critical footnote into her study:

The small number of black coaches hired by NFL teams makes it difficult to conduct more formal statistical analyses of racial differences. While many of the racial differences reported here are strong enough that a statistical test dismisses chance or random variation as the reason for racial differences, in the end, there are simply too few black coaches for more formal statistical analyses to be appropriate.

As in innumerable other instances, statistics are inappropriately applied to further someone's agenda.
