The NFL meetings are underway in Phoenix, and brain trusts from the league’s 32 teams are in the valley of the sun.

Most of league’s general managers sat for a photo on Monday, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter snapped a pic and shared it on Twitter.

NFL fans took note of the lack of diversity among the general managers, and many were not happy.

This is the photo:
