"How does it feel being an African American Coach going to the Super Bowl?" (Vanity)

The press does it's best to promote racial tensions, that is for sure.

Tony Dungy and Mike Tomlin are two recent African American coaches that won SuperBowls. I think it’s time to retire this tripe.

"Your ethnicity does not give you an advantage in coaching football. "

Maybe for kicker or defensive corner but not coaching.

"How does it feel being an African American Coach going to the Super Bowl?"

What we have here is a little social concern. The media is highly desirous of seeing a black coach succeed.

Hold on, the phone is ringing. Hello, pepsi here. what? Are you serious? Oh. I see. [click]

ESPN just fired me.

[Williams]

From an objective standpoint it’s a racist question, the left has turned everything upside down.

[BipolarBob]

A reporters desperate attempt to seem meaningful. Absolutely disgusting.

[nodumbblonde]

I really wish he’d have said, “Probably the same as a white coach feels going to the Super Bowl. Why do you ask?”

[free me]

I thought Peyton Manning was white? ;)

[PeteB570]

Why do people use African American and Caucasian?

If they use African American they should use Europian American.

If they want to use Caucasion they should use Negroid and Mongoloid.

[Talisker]

Is it not the same to a Caucasian coach if he gets to the super bowl? Is it not the same level of coaching involved?

Shhhhhh!!!! Dude, you wanna wreck Affirmative Action?

[wbill]

My guess would be “Roughly the same as it feels to be a Caucasian-American coach going to the Super Bowl”. But that’s just me.

Fans don't see "blackcoach." Players don't see "blackcoach." Only the dumbass media sees "blackcoach."

The rest of us see coach. Period.

When Dungy faced Lovie Smith he was asked this or a similiar question and he replied to the effect that it was more important he and Lovie were Christians than African-Americans.

[Carley]

Peyton Manning got the team to the Super Bowl.

Call me a racist if you will.

[Mobties]

I didn’t see the interview. Can someone who did see it share with us some information about the interviewer who asked this question?

[Carley]

Oops, posted before I saw your comment. Are you a fellow racist?

[Mind Freed]

This wasn’t really an interview. It was the post game press conference aired on ESPN. Not sure who the reporter worked for, it wasn’t shown who the question actually came from.

When Dungy faced Lovie Smith he was asked this or a similar question and he replied to the effect that it was more important he and Lovie were Christians than African-Americans.

I consider myself 'well-informed' yet, I didn't read/hear/see this comment. One wonders why?

[envisio]

I wonder what part of Africa this coach was born in......
