Alright, listen—listen—LISTEN. I’m looking at this trending list, and I see "Rooney Rule." And my brain immediately goes, "C'mon, boss. Don't do that." We're still talking about this? In 2026? It’s not a rule if you gotta keep reminding people it’s a rule. That’s a *suggestion*. That’s a *mild recommendation* you put on a Post-it note that falls off the fridge by Tuesday.
We got a nominee. We got a strong nominee for "thing that sounds good on paper but in practice is just… *performative*." You see what I'm saying though? It’s like saying, "Hey, make sure you *consider* eating your vegetables." And then everyone just eats pizza and says, "Yeah, we considered 'em! Thought about 'em real hard while we were dipping this pepperoni in ranch!"
Tommy, tell me I'm wrong here. I'm not judging. I'm observing. It’s not a mistake… that's a lifestyle. We're not fixing the problem, we're just putting a little sticker over the "check engine" light and hoping nobody notices. Respectfully… no. We gotta do better. Or just admit we like the pizza.
