ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith suggests racism in Chip Kelly’s roster moves
Pro Football Talk ^ | March 9, 2015 | Michael David Smith

Stephen A. Smith is too smart to come right out and call Chip Kelly a racist. Smith knows that an accusation like that would require evidence, and Smith has none.

So what Smith did on ESPN First Take today is he merely implied that Kelly is a racist, going over a selection of Kelly’s recent roster moves and then hinting that Kelly might not want black players in his locker room.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

When you're a racist, you think everyone else is, too.

Because of course the Eagles should keep a bunch of over the hill players with big salary cap hits just because they’re black. How absurd.

Yes with 68% of the league being black players, a few plus/minus around that number is just normal variation.

I’m too lazy to actually do a census on the Eagles roster but I’d bet they aren’t far off that average number.

Stephen A. Smith forgot one minor detail. The Eagles just signed Frank Gore. Who last time I checked is still black.

As an Eagles fan I was against those moves. You changed my mind, Mr. Smith, I support them now...

How about we apply affirmative action to Football and enforce it for all races. Will they like that?

I know a sports writer who agreed with Kareem A-J that misogyny was rampant in sports. I asked her to name names, who is doing it. Nothing from her. Not a word.

Do we really need sports writers? NO.

Jackass. Desean Jackson and Lesean McCoy are whiny little brats.

McCoy’s replacement Frank Gore is a Strong Black Man right out of central casting.

I had to look him up because I did not recognize the name, but now that I know who he is I agree 100%. This guy is a race-hustling tool and if ESPN did not exist I doubt he would be able to find a job in “sports journalism”

I’d say this was the set up for a Race Card Shakedown but the Eagles damn sure don’t have enough money to be shaken-down.

A BLACK GUY keeps playing the RACe CARD and is not disciplined, RUSH LIMBAUGH-—A WHITE GUY— says something about the media wanting black qbs to do good and HE IS FIRED and espn says ‘no politics in sports’.

espn will allow politics in its sports shows IF it is the right kind (LIBTARD) view.

Hey little stevie, if a white coach getting rid of BLACK players means he is RACIST, does a BLACK coach getting rid of WHITE players mean that HE is a RACIST? Someone should ask him.

The Patriots are one of the whitest teams in the league.
