“SI is already preparing to lay blame on Belichick’s sons.

https://www.si.com/nfl/patriots/news/new-england-patriots-no-favors-jerod-mayo-coaching-staff-belihcick-sons

Is SI even an ongoing entity? They just fired the entire staff. Maybe they will have an on-line presence only with IT nerds running the Artificial Intelligence to write woke pieces of tripe.

Excellent! I look forward to the “Patriots” spending the next decade or so in the wilderness as a bottom barrel team in the league.

I love to hear NE Patriots fans moan and groan, piss and whine over their beloved team.

I haven’t seen a football game in probably 20+ year and could care less, but it is fun to watch the true fans bemoan the good old days of Bardy and Bill Belichick and winning all the time.

So he is going to hire more whites, Hispanics, Asians to play for the Patriots?

Judging by his comments, and those with disabilities.

I hope this black racists doesn’t celebrate MLK Day because King’s speech (Not that British guy) preached content of character, not color of one’s pigmentation. The Happy Ending owner with his virtual signaling dark pigmented coach are hypocrites in the highest order.

I think the management of the Patriots is genius. They got the one black coach they knew would fail miserably so they could fire him without being accused of being racist.

After they kick him to the curb, then they can get the coach they want without regard to checking boxes.

Winning is a checkered flag. And if inanimate white and black paint can live together in harmony on a flag, can't humans of different colors all live together in peace and harmony?

(barf alert)

The way I see it, the Patriots are going to be awful for a few years just because they’ve run out of gas. It’s inevitable in sports.

They might as well do it with this stunted loser as a head coach.

Maybe Robert Kraft can hire Fani Mugabe as GM while he’s at it … after she loses her job as DA in Georgia.

Emphasizing the importance of his role, Mayo stated, “You better believe being the first black head coach here in New England means a lot to me. I do see color because I believe if you don’t see color, you can’t see racism”.

If you always see color, Coach Mayo, you only see racism. Too bad you didn't pay any attention to the words of the man whose birthday was celebrated just a few days after you were named head coach:

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
MLK saw real racism, but chose to look at the future not at color.

Stupid questions I know, but what percent of the Patriots team is black, as compared to the general population? And what steps does Coach Mayo plan to take to correct the imbalance?

I believe if you don’t see color, you can’t see racism”.

We are looking at color and by your own standards based on their percentage of the population black are over represented in the NFL and the NBA. So the NFL is not equable.

I want to know how you are going to rectify the situation and how the New England Patriots are going move forward once they see and rectify their racism.

I would like an answer Coach.

The Patriots play the next town over. Being an optimist, I look forward to smaller highway jams on the days they play and the parking lot not being so full that my medical center and the local stores, which share the parking lot, close.

Boston area isn’t that bad of a place. Our town is conservative and votes Republican. The people are the closest thing to the midwesterners among whom I was raised to anywhere I’ve lived. Good people. We even have summer concerts and a Christmas creche.

Yes, the drivers are crazy and would give Rhode Island and New Jersey drivers a run for their money and, yes, the areas around MIT and Harvard are bastions of idiocy, but there’s a lot of good things going on here and a heck of a lot of really decent people.

Didn’t SI just announce they’re laying off everyone?

Go woke, go broke.

Some people like this guy, Mayo, simply can’t stop getting in their own way. I wonder if he thinks that he has done a good thing. Id-10t error.

“...if you don’t see color, you can’t see racism”.

What if no one saw color? And no one went out of their way to make it seen? Would there still be racism if no color separation existed? His statement is racist as hell because he recognizes it and projects success based upon it.

“You better believe being the first black head coach here in New England means a lot to me.”

More than winning?

In his case is black better because he got the job or is he extending it by making it notated? It’s that type of thinking that empowers people to fight and harm in the area of racism.

The NFL will never go broke.
