“They don't know enough, and they need to be coached up and they need to be educated about what the heck is going on in this world," Carroll said.


The only thing I need to be coached on is why would I ever watch a NFL game again

The only thing I need to know about the NBA are the names of its remaining sponsors - to boycott.

I’ll never watch professional sports again. The Left has poisoned every American institution. Everything they touch turns to chit.

Another example that "leftism" is a severe and violent mental disorder that is unable to grasp reality.

Yes, I want to listen to a detailed explanation of why blacks want to do trial by combat with the police. Fighting the police, trying to grab their guns ... okay, Pete, when does that lecture start?

Football coaches are some of the dumbest people on the planet. The only dumber people who get paid like that are the players.

Die, sportsball, die. Faster.

Over the next two years...he needs to freshen his resume, and look for non-sports work. He won’t be able to work in the college or high-school system. Maybe he should learn to code.

Well Pete... if you take a critical look at it, the racism isn’t all coming from white people. Maybe more of it is coming from blacks?

WHICH black people are we suppose to listen to? In 2001 my New Years Resolution was to read books written by blacks. I read Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman. My life was enriched. Frederick Douglass said in his Auto Biography, the 1st section was slavery and the 2nd Descrimination. He detailed that to end slavery they needed the help of people with lighter tone skin pigment. But the latter, on descrimination, that the only fixin could be done by people with darker skin needed so show that they could be nice neighbors, that they were responsible families and fathers etc.
In DNA studies, it is common knowledge that drker skin pigment people in the USA share MORE DNA across the nation, that people in African Nations who never left or moved around on their continent. We share more, WHATES with BLACKS with DNA than we realize. My DNA shares show up wiith slaves on plantations... Not proud about this, but our forefathers did unwise things.
Tell the coach to tell his friends to stop scremaing expletives 4 letter f bambs, and people might listen.

Well, I do know about the racism that ones like Jesse Owens and Jackie Robinson stood up against and that their actions were very much opposed by the Democrats at that time.

I am 90 years old and have been listening to black’s all my life. And I must also say, I have seen blacks become fully integrated into every aspect of American society including taking important leadership roles. They have done extremely well and should be proud of the accomplishments they have made. Why all the silence?

Listen to “black people”?

Or listen to communists who want to destroy MY country?

I’ve been forced to listen to them since the mid 60’s.
Its the same line.

My own son informed me that the riots are caused by white supremacists.

I'm afraid that "leftism" have evolved into a violent psychosis
