quote:

Football’s football. It’s not a complicated thing. You’re playing the game, you’re enjoying the game. You don’t like the game, get out of it. It’s not for protesting one way or the other. What color you are, what you think, this or that. You play football. That’s it. You’re privileged. You got a gift from God that you can play the game because you got a body you can do it with. I don’t really understand what you’re protesting. I played the game. I coached the game for a long time. It makes no sense to me.”
quote:

“I would tell those players go to another country and play football there. You don’t have to come out. You don’t have to come out if you go to another country. You can’t! Because the game’s only played in this country. And if you can’t respect this country, get the hell out of it.”

Hey ditka if you want to live in a country where people cannot protest, why don’t you move to a different country

This ain’t the first time Ditka acted like a clown in this discussion.

Agree with him.

He’s also molded and impacted the lives of many young men as a head coach. People will criticize these comments but won’t have impacted anywhere close the amount of lives that he has.

yeah fricking guy even admitted himself he wasn't the guy for the Saints job in 1999 after he farted away tons of draft picks away for Ricky Williams.

frick him.

he was a horrible coach for the Saints.

only reason they were just near mediocre the other years was because of Zaven Yaralian at defensive coordinator.

I wish Ditka would have got the hell out of the country before he fricked the Saints up for most of my childhood
