That's got to be about as contradictory a statement one can say. It's like when Captain Kirk would use paradoxes to talk computers to death.

The New England Patriots have filled a gap in the organization that was left behind when Bill Belichick and the team parted ways by hiring Jerod Mayo to be the team’s next head coach. Mayo, an African American coach, focused on his race and what he considered a “problem” in the NFL.
Mayo is the fifteenth head coach in the New England Patriot’s history and has big shoes to fill, following directly on the heels of Bill Belichick, one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. Mayo was a first-round draft pick by the Patriots in 2008 and went on to spend his entire career playing for the team. Mayo had a successful career and also played under Belichick, so he has an understanding of what it takes to be a winner in New England.
During the introductory press conference, Mayo and Kraft discussed being a black head coach in the NFL and the decision-making process that brought the organization to hire their newest man. Owner Robert Kraft went first, explaining the decision-making process for hiring the new head coach.
Kraft was clear that the team went about the hiring process without skin color in mind. He said that at the end of the day, when the game was over, his only thought about a head coach is now they perform. He said, “I’m really colorblind in terms of I know what I feel like on Sunday when we lose, and I can just tell you that after my family, my passion is with the New England Patriots, and there’s something else very close second, but winning at the Patriots is my passion.”
Kraft went on to explain that the team went about their head coach search, simply seeking out the best talent that was available to bring into the fold. In the case of Mayo, Kraft explains, this was a case of finding the best possible candidate, who “happens to be a man of color.”
Mayo gave his take next, explaining that, unlike Robert Kraft, he does see color and is ready to set a good example that encourages teams around the league to hire more black coaches. Mayo said, “What I will say, though, is I do see color because I believe if you don’t see color, you can’t see racism. Whatever happens, Black, white, disabled person — even someone with disabilities, for the most part people are like — when they’re young, they kind of make the spot hot. Younger people know what that means.”
Mayo continued on, explaining that he believes he could be able to fix a list of “problems” that he refers to but does not explicitly lay out. Seemingly, the issues that he sees are ones that do not need enumerating due to being obvious.
He said, “It goes back to whatever it is, Black, white, yellow, it really doesn’t matter, but it does matter so we can try to fix the problem that we all know we have.” For Mayo, on-field success is the best option if he hopes to make waves in the NFL. Watch him here:

Won’t be long before the first female NFL head coach is named. “Diversity” is our strength, ya know.
When will people wake up to the fact that this racial issue is by design to cause hatred amongst people? People need to carry two pieces of paper with them. The pieces of paper need to be white and black. NO ONE you know will be the color of those two pieces of paper! NO ONE! Have each person hold out their hand and show their palms against the papers. Racist people have to create division to support their hatred of other people. Your qualifications are based upon your skills and not your physical attributes.
Yeah this is going to go well.
When It comes to politics on this forum, sometimes I have to double check that I’m not on DU. 😏
Well, isn’t that special.
Yup. Maybe they should have had this type of discussion before hiring.
Clearly this guy will make decisions based on color.
If he was the best choice then he was the best choice!
You make yourself into a hypocrite when you say that race had nothing to do with your hire and then go on to expound upon race.
The black community has been “very concerned” since they found out blacks are a minority in major league baseball.......but in the nfl and nba they feel the ratios are completely fair.
One more reason to not watch the NFL... or just about any other sport.
This affirmative action hire will do as well as the one that Harvard hired.
Yeah, what white player would want to get traded to that team?
Non-ending, entrenched ambiguity of the discussion allows racist blacks to justify the permanent and unrelenting attacks by accusing Whitey of KKK-level racism, and tries to enforce a culture that will ultimately justify the elimination of white people’s individual rights prior to their ultimate elimination period. This is the exact arc that was perpetuated in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia in their early days.
That's got to be about as contradictory a statement one can say. It's like when Captain Kirk would use paradoxes to talk computers to death.
I can’t stand Boston, so I really don’t care about them. The problem is this idiocy poisons the thinking of the citizenry.
He sounds like that other affirmative hire Camel-a Harris.
Patriots had a historically unprecedented, and likely non-repeatable run of success.
All indications, including Mayo, are that they are now undergoing the unavoidable, long, and painful reversion to the mean.
Oh, barf, I am tired of the whining. I saw 40 years of improving race relation until Obama came along in 2008, and it all went to Hell. I’m done with the whole thing. I’ll probably say something extremely politically incorrect if someone whines like this in my presence.
Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, cry racism.
“If you don’t see color you can’t see racism “ is the talking point dejour of the left. I’ve heard that very same verbiage a few places this past week. It’s all part of the setup.
He was the ONLY choice.
AFAIK, Kraft did not interview anybody. This guy was already there....................
