Smith took issue with the Broncos hiring Hackett, who is White, while Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bienemy, who is Black, was overlooked.

"I’m telling you right now, as a Black man, it is sickening, it is insulting, and it bothers the living hell out of me."

They are all being hired for commercials

I grew up near KC and am pulling for the Chiefs in these playoffs. The Broncos haven’t gotten a sniff at the playoffs since Manning retired.

You can say that again. 😏

What does his white part think about it?

[panzerkamphwageneinz]

as a white man i think it is sickening that more than 90% of the nfl is black when they’re only 12% of the population.

see how that works?

Maybe Eric M. Bieniemy has some history that scares some people off?

Mind meld on same page.

As a racist bastard, he is upset.

[Rebelbase]

Stephen, it’s OK, you’ll get over it.

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

Thanks for the update.

I don't know about Eric or you, or anyone else but if I was engaged in bringing home another Super Bowl, the biggest prize in pro football with only one game to go, I think I'd be ignoring my skin color for the moment.

Well, someone should by this 'Big Baby' a Lollipop!
