NFL Coach: If You Don't See Color, You Can't See Racism

Dennis reacts to a statement from the first black coach of the New England Patriots: “If you don’t see color, you can’t see racism.” Sadly, if something is repeated often enough—even an absurd lie—vast numbers of people will nevertheless repeat it and believe it.

The owner should’ve fired the coach immediately after the press conference.

The follow up question from any reporter there should have been "So you are actively looking for racism?" because anyone can find anything that they ARE LOOKING FOR.... even if it's not there.

The owner of the Patriots made a big mistake hiring that coach.

Dude cannot be a winner when he automatically takes on a victim mentality.

[Harry.]

The coach openly said he was racist and he is proud of it.

Wild times

I know while on Active Duty for over 10 years, I didn't really see color. I always liked meeting people from all over. Got friends of all shapes, sizes, and more. Only thing I cared about was if they had my back and they were good people.

[barcafan]

That’s pathetic from the coach. Owner was made a fool in front of his face.

[ThomasHoag-kd]

And the same people who, years ago, told us to look past color and look at character, are now telling us, "Look at color".

[joeldriver-sprg]

Sounds like he made the wrong hire. That's basically like slapping your employer in the face after them giving you a job.

This is going to be one of, if not the worse, football decision that Robert Kraft will have made. If Coach Mayo starts losing he’s going to blame racism. If he’s fired for losing, he’ll cry racism.

[stvargas]

Half of the NFL should be fired and replaced with Mexican Americans. We are underrepresented in the NFL. Especially on the coaching staffs.
How would that coach feel about that?

[THATMOFODIRT]

I see color and it doesn’t matter. Merit > Skin color.

[turnuptheradio]

They took a knee I still will never watch the NFL.

I watched that press conference live. After 25 years of spending several thousands on Patriots games I put my Patriots on the list of products that I refuse to support.
I was in a room of over a hundred people watching that presser and I was the only one that took issue with what he said. The mind virus is real and remarkably pernicious.

[jameshagan]

Wicked disappointing that's our coach. What a fall from grace! We used to be only about winning, it worked pretty well for us... now our football dynasty is reduced to this!?

[rolanddeschain]

As a former football fan and citizen of Massachusetts this is the coach the voters of Massachusetts deserve😅

[WobblinGoblin]

Funny how the people who insist on celebrating MLK Day the most, practice his message the least.

[marionlambert]

But then do you staff your team with only DEI hires? No! You staff them with the best to win. I’m a die hard Pats fan and I was pissed when he said this.

[anthonyvacca]

Definitely not watching the New England Patriots not with a Racist head coach sad

[alexandriaocasio-smollett]

The mental gymnastics it takes for these people to *always* be the first ones to introduce race/skin color into literally *every* topic at *every* possible opportunity.. yet somehow come away not realizing *THEY* the racists should be an Olympic sport.
