People take offense because Steven A Smith sees racism everywhere he looks and to me this sort of makes his point for him. Yea, I don't find this funny.

i've grown tired of race as a wedge issue. I don't know anyone who giives a damn a out someone's race anymore
I thought he'd actually made some boilerplate statement. This was funnier.
I dunno what Chip Kelly is doing...
Is it strange that all of the strong, black, productive voices on offense are gone?
I dunno because I don't know what he's doing.
This could be more a "star" thing than a black thing, because rest assured McCoy wants to be treated like a star and from what I've read, Kelly is a team/system guy who expects full buy in, which is antithetical to the whole star treatment. He even mentioned how "Rex Ryan knows how to treat stars."
So, is it a black thing with Kelly? Is it s black thing coupled with the star thing? Is it the system thing?
I have no idea. There's circumstantial evidence for all of those possibilities and it seems that so many of the commenters fail to see this for the Rohrschach test that it is.
We may know with certainty eventually, but until then, those coming to conclusion are telling us more about themselves than about Kelly, McCoy, football or racism.
Jmho.

I really don't think it's a race thing, tbh. That wouldn't make sense considering the overwhelming majority of players he's drafted, signed, etc. have been black players. Not to mention trading lily white Foles for native american Sam Bradford.
I think it's more of a personality thing. I can easily see why Desean would be a pain to have in the locker room and McCoy does seem to be a bit of a diva as evidenced by how he's acted since being traded. I think all things being equal he would've liked to bring Maclin back but the price just got out of hand when the bidding war started.
Like I said, I dunno. I think people see in this what they want to see.
It may be smattering of a lot of things or something different altogether.
What I'm saying is I dunno. Only one who knows is Kelly and he ain't sayin.
History will tell us, it usually does.
I'll say this, whatever the truth is, some won't believe it because they'd rather believe what they've "figured out" than the truth, again, whatever that turns out to be.
I just find these moments interesting because they are revealing. Most folks don't want to reveal who they are or what they truly believe, so when Rohrschach tests like this arise, I enjoy sitting back and watching and listening.

Meh. I could have ended after the fourth panel and had the same effect. 6/10.
