“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”.

This provides a glimmer of hope that black football players will finally get a chance to play at the professional level.

As is, no pro team - South or North - wants to hire a black player; fans won’t pay to see a black player; and the few times they are hired, black players never get a decent salary.

Nothing has changed in the last 75 years; they say.

MLK saw real racism, but chose to look at the future not at color.

I think that's the tragedy of Obama's legacy. We had issues. But we were looking forward to a promising future when we voted for Obama. Now our race relations have regressed. And the whole thing with DEI, that's not what MLK wanted.

I thought Kraft was a good guy? Wasn’t he accused of some sex tapes showing him with a hooker a few years ago? The leftists must have got some more tapes on him. The left is so evil.

Probably.

Maybe Denver can sell the Patriots Russell wilson for QB. A little slave trading.

I wonder if Kraft hires black female masseuses at the strip mall parlors.

My guess is that Mayo hopes to use the race card to buy an extra season or two in spite of poor performance on the score board.

My first reaction to this guy’s blather is that he is just the same as former Harvard President Claudine Gay. An affirmative action hire about to fall flat on his face. I think that the prestige of the Patriots is just about to tank just like Harvard. When will these idiots making these decisions ever learn? By the way, I don’t care what the race of any of these people are. I would just prefer that they themselves would not be racists. Shame on Robert Kraft.

Inside linebackers coach to head coach in 4 years?

Interestingly, I think that was the exact career trajectory of Bill Parcells.

Prediction. If he keeps that up, he won’t last long.

Racists see racism everywhere all the time. Born with sh*t colored glasses, they have little else to occupy their addled minds.

All this color talk will vanish when the big war comes. A Chinese warbot, or a Russian Drone will not care about skin tone when it kills you. Then we will all be just Americans.

‘I haven’t seen a football game in probably 20+ year and could care less’

if you could care less, perhaps you should start watching again...

13.6% of the United States population is "Black or African-American"

56% of the NFL is "Black or African-American"

I would like to know Mr. Mayo's opinion of the above.

I think most Quarterbacks are Black now. Mahomes, Hurts, Lamar Jackson, etc.
