Redskins officials maintained Wednesday that the organization made a conscientious effort to find a minority candidate to lead the team by distributing bundles of head-coaching applications in the slums and ghettos of major inner cities. 'Look, we put piles of applications in high traffic areas near housing tenements, abandoned warehouses, and back alleys, but the response was disappointing,' said team owner Dan Snyder, adding that, in the end, Mike Shanahan was the only person who really seemed to want the job. 'It's not my fault these people didn't want to take the time to fill out an application and send it in.' According to Snyder, the application featured sections to provide personal information, experience, offensive and defensive ideologies, and references who could prove that the candidate was not white.
