More than a third of Black NFL players surveyed by the AP are discouraged by a lack of Black coaches.

For Sunday ’s Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles , both starting quarterbacks are Black.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league will continue its diversity efforts.

Nearly 40% of NFL players who participated in the AP survey would like to be a head coach in the league.

In the NBA , where about 70% of players are Black , 37% of teams have a Black coach.

NFL 's Rooney Rule was created in 2003 to increase diversity among coaches (and, later, front-office executives).
