FireChan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Exactly. The majority on this board are completely uninformed. Makes it hard to have meaningful conversations They feel the need to perpetuate the "Bills fans are racists" narrative. That's why lots think EJ and TT suck, don't ya know? Unlike those Boston folks.

YoloinOhio Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Who are they interviewing with? Lynn would be at the top of that list imo. The whole rule is embarrassing. Pick the best person for the job. Here's Teryl Austin saying only half of his interviews last year were legit: http://www.espn.com/blog/detroit-lions/post/_/id/23816/teryl-austin-two-of-four-head-coach-interviews-in-offseason-were-legitimate In my comment, I was referring to posts that follow news that Lynne is being considered for a HC interview somewhere and the response is simply "Rooney rule." This implies to me that that the rule is the only reason he's getting the interview. I don't know why that would be the case that he's not getting the interview due to being qualified for the job.

boyst Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Exactly. The majority on this board are completely uninformed. Makes it hard to have meaningful conversationsits the way the board slants on TSW. Its sad, because when topics addressing these things are in PPP they're too coward to participate. Race has absolutely nothing to do with who Anthony Lynn is but it is a part of why he is interviewed and people are obtuse to not see that. Lynn himself has said as much, but its easy to lob the raysis brand, because #feelings and such by snowflakes. Can we get back to the regularly scheduled programming before dorkawhatever derailed this? Can he also get a warning point for doing this time and time again?

Last Guy on the Bench Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 It's pretty embarrassing how many Bills fans think of black coaches as nothing more than a box to check. Yes, it's ridiculous. They can conceive of no other reason a black coach might get an interview. Plus they are bitter about the rule in the first place. It's a great rule and it's doing its job of at least making cracks in all of the subconscious biases, assumptions, networks, etc. that keep old patterns of discrimination in place, even when the average person in the industry sincerely wants to change them.

PromoTheRobot Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 At the time the Rooney rule was implemented there was a huge disparity in the numbers of minority coaches. The fact that gap closed over the years is a testiment to the rule having its desired effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC in St. Louis Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I like the guy. Seems affable and the players seem to like him. I'm a little thrown by his grammar. We was trying to do this, that's not what we was doing. That sort of thing. I don't like that. Shows a possible lack of intellect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Yeah, that game really turned off the Rams. I imagine every professional knows it was a tank job with pre-season type plays called to evaluate certain players....right?... !@#$ now im starting to doubt it.....damnnn i hope it was Have they interviewed another minority yet? As know Lynn's gone on record he won't be anyone's "token" interview. I really like the fact that Lynn said that. Shows character, balls, and proper discernment. I like the guy. Seems affable and the players seem to like him. I'm a little thrown by his grammar. We was trying to do this, that's not what we was doing. That sort of thing. I don't like that. Shows a possible lack of intellect. Not at all. People who grew up in different environments speak different dialects of English (including slang). Plus sometimes players need coaches/mentors that know how to speak their language. Ill take a coach who can connect and communicate with his players well, over a coach who knows how to communicate eloquently using a broad vocabulary to the press 7 days a week. Matter fact I speak like that when im not typing. When im typing I go into school mode using vocab so you privileged upstate NY people understand what im saying and ****. But see Marty in real life you might be intimated....Marty McFly dont give a !@#$... Edited January 2, 2017 by Marty McFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
