Stephen A Smith Suggests Racism in Chip Kelly's Roster Moves

Featured Replies

0-16. That's what an all-white team in the NFL looks like.

 

I don't know that I would go that far but I get the point loud and clear.

Normally, @theguru gets on here with his conspiracy theories and I chuckle at the audacity without acknowledging a possibility. I'm not saying that I 100% agree with Stephen A. I am not going to blatantly disregard it either.

 

This comes to light and, all of a sudden, Frank Gore has doubts about signing with Philly? I don't know, but Stephen A. made me think a bit with his take.

 

Like I have mentioned on here, I like conspiracy theories, if for no other reason than they should make us all think. So next time after you are finished chuckling think about it. And if you haven't noticed, we have a new Technology Forum where I may go full blast on some theories.

So, the coach that invited one of the Black Panthers (John Carlos I believe) to speak to his team is racist? That's what Stephen A. is claiming?

 

For the record Smith reaffirmed his stance today. I really hope this ends poorly for him.

As some of you know I was a big fan of Smith. My interest in him has cooled over the last year but I still enjoy hearing him and Skip when they actually have news to report on vs. making their own.

 

Deep down in I have always thought Smith was a racist but at the same time I thought he went to some pretty great lengths to dispel that notion and be fair. As a white guy, I appreciate that from Smith. And hopefully there are a lot of black guys out there that appreciate the effort from their white acquaintances that really want everyone to get along.

No way that he should not be suspended at the very least. His comments were some of the most ignorant that I have heard in a while on ESPN and that is saying something. If Mike Greenberg were to say that about white players, he would have been shown the door. I would like to see some of the black commentators or athletes call him out on this but that will not happen. Stephen A is a huge hipocrite and a racist.

Chip Kelly is a real racist, he traded a white QB for a Cherokee Indian QB who just comes off knee surgery and didn't play last yr.

 

Why does everything have to be about race all the time.

Stephen A obviously never saw any of Chips Oregon teams

Come on, Stephen A. Chip Kelly isn't racist, he's just an idiot.

He may be...or he may be a genius. I cannot wait to see how this all plays out. I know one thing...the guy is not afraid to do things his way and to try different things. The NFL needs a guy like him...who just doesn't do the same things that everyone does in a copy cat league. Belichick actually went to Oregon to ask him about the things he does. That is a strong endorsement.

 

This may all blow up in his face or he may have some great master plan...either way it will be fun to watch because I really don't care much about the Eagles either way.

I'd say maybe he'll go to Belichick and ask him how to put a good product on the field after trading away your leading rusher for an injury prone linebacker, letting your top receiver go to a team that has no clue how to use receivers, trading your starting QB for a QB that is one knee injury away in the preseason from retirement, letting defensive leaders go and getting Byron Maxwell in return. If that is genius then I'm done with the NFL after this season. His moves this offseason are asinine and if they backfire then he'll be fired on Black Monday next season.

Let's let the whole thing play out. He has replaced Shady with a very good back who will be playing this entire season with a chip on his shoulder. And we have not even had the draft yet so the off season still has a lot of things left to happen.

 

I forgot that Urban Meyer also flew out to Oregon to see what Kelly was doing in Oregon. So the current college champion coach and NFL champion coach have visited Kelly to pick his brain. That shows me that some of the greatest minds in football think this guy is special. I will take their opinions of Kelly over the fans. The beauty is we get to see. He may be just purging the locker room of guys who don't believe in his system and keeping guys that buy in. I am just glad we have a guy in the NFL who has the you know what to do things his way and let the chips fall as they may.

Yes, let's let this whole thing play out.

He is a sad joke, that I never listen to.

He comes across as a racist and ESPN seems to be in love with him.

 

ESPN has gone downhill about as far as they can go.

I watch the games they show but not much else.
