Does the NFL have any African Americans in the control booth?

I love football so much that I never watch any other sports broadcasts, if it ain’t football it ain’t worth watching. But I have noticed throughout the season that I have yet to see a black person sitting in the control booths. I see a few standing when the cameras go in and let the control people wave, but they are usually old dudes or hall of famers visiting the booth to watch the game. I want to know are there any permanent “Black” NFL staff working in the control rooms?

Calm down people I am just asking a question. I am curious is all.

This is actually a funny post to me, I am not playing the race card or charging discrimination or anything, it just seems funny to me that every time they go to the booth the flavor on my television drops to –10. I mean think about it, the field, sidelines and crowd are super duper diverse but the moment you go behind the scenes it looks like a jim crow meeting. Is there like a glass ceiling in the control room? Maybe I just don’t see them when they show lemar and dejuan on camera from the control room. I actually dropped my sandwich and ran back to the television set during the packers against the lions game this week when I heard them mention Mookie in the control room. I get back look at the television and mookie is white too, I mean who would have thought there were white people named Mookie? I guess I should have known because there are black chucks and Todds. I don’t know but if someone has seen a black guy working in the control room in the NFL, please comment on this post.

Please don’t get to calling me names and accusing me of far out stuff, I just think its strange that (I) have never seen a black person when they go to the control room camera from the field is all, I don’t want to have to field 1000 emails calling me a crybaby, I really don’t care one way or the other I just find it funny is all. Maybe the black guys went down to the field? Everybody know that we as a people will bum-rush the good seats once the concert starts, so maybe that’s the answer. Because I know if I worked in the booth I would go to the bathroom 49 times during a game and never see the inside of it once, I’s be on the sidelines flirting with cheerleaders and getting autographs to sell on ebay. And anyway who can complain? We are on the field making 1 gazillion a year so hey I’m happy. But maybe the control room is some kind of last place we need to concentrate on, I didn’t see any women either, so maybe I am on to something. So if anyone can prove me wrong I would really appreciate it because I really like Football and I don’t want any bad tastes in my mouth as I watch my favorite team (Packers) beat up on all the rest of yall.
