re: Chip Kelly: There is something there if the ex-players keep saying something

You don't even have to compare him to a black coach--- has a white coach ever been accused of this ? I haven't heard of it. and I'm sure we've had a more than few questionable head coaches

GTFO.


There is no "African American Experience" outside of petulant behavior which transcends racial boundaries.

Do you say that from your own personal knowledge or is this just something you think

I'm not making any comparisons, that was you.


As far as the point you keep lobbing out- "Why haven't other coaches in the past been accused of this?"

Your answer: the current generation of blacks have been propped up to believe that if they don't get special treatment (not equal- special) from whites, then that white must be a raycess. It's a movement that transcends socioeconomic status, I've seen it from Mech. Engineering students who grew up pampered some of the nicest areas of LA/TX to gas station drones who have known nothing but hatred and ignorance most of their life (hatred which overwhelmingly comes from members of their own race and which they learn to emulate). I saw it in every part-time job I've ever had with a white manager who employs at least 50% blacks. It is a culture problem, but not in the way you think.

In fact, every single one of my employers was accused of racism by a black coworker at some point. Sure it never reaches the level of being news, but a certain percentage of blacks at any level of professionalism will think their boss is a "big meanie racist" when they are just trying to operate a business. Same for whites, except they can only say the boss is a "big meanie," only those with Black Privilege can play the racist card whenever they want.

Why are folks so up in arms in regards to him potentially being unable to understand another culture

because it's not a misunderstanding of a culture. it's exclusion of a culture from the locker room. the pats do that, too, fwiw

i'm sure he understands it well enough and that's why he doesn't want it around his locker room

now, here is your cognitive issue: you're assuming everyone is assuming he will succeed, which i don't think people are saying. these moves are a gamble and they may not pay off on the field. that is a strategical error, but doesn't indicate some insidious bias in kelly

it's this simple: he doesn't want flashy, "me-first" players. he wants strict adherence to the team and system without ego

That is false. The pats locked into a veteran laden squad for those first 3 championships--- since then, their teams have been littered with head cases left and right and guys from "that culture". Don't let winning. Obscure your view.

Aaron Hernandez, gronk, Alonzo Dennard, spikes, Blount, etc disagree

here aren't too many white NFL players with big personalities and public egos

Is statement is full of so much "bias".

Brees, Brady (do we see what he is doing right now), Manning, Romo, Gronk are Big personalities with public egos.

Brees, Brady, Manning, Romo,

those guys give the most bland "coachspeak" interviews all the goddamn time (which is to be expected)

i did almost put cutler, but he doesn't seek the limelight he hates it, so it doesn't really work. he's a weird guy...more similar to kelly than the players kelly cut
