‘We Coach Ball, We Don’t Look At Color’: Buccaneers Head Coach Stops Woke Reporters In Their Tracks
The Daily Wire ^ | 13 Oct 2022 | Katie Jerkovich

Posted on 10/15/2022 6:51:40 AM PDT by Rummyfan

One reporter asked Bowles about how he and [Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers] are “two of the few black head coaches in the league,” what their relationship was like, and about the interim head coach for the Carolina Panthers Steve Wilks “joining that fold.”

“I have a very good relationship with Tomlin,” Bowles replied. “We don’t look at what color we are when we coach against each other. We just know each other. I have a lot of very good white friends that coach in this league as well.”

“And I don’t think it’s a big deal,” he added. “As far as us coaching against each other, I think it’s normal … and we coach ball. We don’t look at color.”

Another reporter then jumped in and appeared to scold the coach for not giving the woke response desired, and reminded him that “you also understand that representation matters, too, right?”

She then told the head coach about how seeing him there inspires others because “football players, they see you guys. You know, they see someone that looks like them, maybe grew up like them …”

“Well, when you say ‘see you guys’ and ‘look like them’ and ‘grow up like them’ means that we’re oddballs to begin with,” Bowles replied. “And I think the minute you guys start — stop making a big deal about it, everybody else will as well.”

Those aren’t reporters covering a press conference, those are activists with an agenda.

Spot on, and this is a great 1m video IIRC. Short in any case.

The racist fake media didn’t even realize they called him their slave.

Besides Todd Bowles and Mike Tomlin, there are Lovie Smith (Texans) and McDaniels (Miami). That is four. There are 32 teams. Four divided by 32 equals 12.5%. Black people make up 12% of U.S. population. Sounds about right.

Buccaneers coach Tony Dungy could also have said that, a generation ago. So, I suspect, could soon-to-be Senator Herschel Walker.

Leftists love to stir up race, even though race isn’t the issue, the issue is always the revolution. Real Americans don’t care about color, because the issues for real Americans are always life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and judging by the content of character.

I won’t waste my time on that Oreo. Those reporters should have gone into kneeling mode on him immediately.

The problem IS the white-guilt laden sycophants who call themselves journalists.

It’s hard to understand the wisdom of seeing a person’s “content of character” when you have none yourself.

I really hate this. I grew up, a lower class Mexican kid, in Southern California. When I looked at my heroes, their race (and mine) was the furthest thing from my mind. I never once thought, "Gee, I wish Batman, or Buzz Aldrin, or Steve Garvey were Mexican." It wasn't until I got into middle school that I started hearing this crap.

And no one ever pushes that crap on white people.

“I want to be like Michael Jordan.”

“No, you want to be like Kevin McHale.”

“But the Celtics are the ugliest team ever...”

“You should only look up to whites.” (said no one ever)

And, just to be clear, my comment is not directed at you, but at the me—idiot reporters.

Woke reporter asks qestion. Black man responds: "“Well, when you say ‘see you guys’ and ‘look like them’ and ‘grow up like them’ means that we’re oddballs to begin with."

Common sense is highly frowned upon, there goes the coach’s Twitter account.

I would love to see him say “that question doesn’t have anything to do with football,.. next question.”

Every time.
