With NFL franchises, front office executives, head coaches, and players all speaking out over the course of the last week or so in regards to the ongoing police brutality and acts of violence against African Americans, Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio has since taken a bit of a different — and much more controversial — stance on the subject.

Despite the fact that there have been protests throughout the country with seemingly everyone on the same page in terms of stopping the aforementioned police brutality against African Americans, the Broncos coach doesn't appear to think there is much crossover with this issue when it comes to the NFL.

“I think our problems in the NFL along those lines are minimal, we're a league of meritocracy, you earn what you get, you get what you earn, I don't see racism at all in the NFL, I don't see discrimination in the NFL,” Fangio told reporters on Tuesday after being asked about his experiences in the NFL across the last four decades, via ESPN. “… we all live together, joined as one, for one common goal, and we all intermingle and mix tremendously. If society reflected an NFL team, we'd all be great.”

The 61-year-old Fangio is currently gearing up for his second season as the head coach of the Broncos after previously serving as the Chicago Bears defensive coordinator. Last season, the Fangio-led Broncos missed out on the postseason after producing a nearly even 7-9 record during the regular season.

However, the Broncos have improved greatly this offseason as Fangio will look to turn things around on the field in Denver come 2020.
