Jpsredemption Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 There is an article labeled, Title: Bills should fire McDermott and hire a black head coach. I’m glad the news has now fully endorsed racism. This is sickening. I can’t read the article because I’m not a paying subscriber, and for good reason but this would imply that McDermott be fired on the basis of his color and someone replace him on the basis of their color. Way to go again, media. 2 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Two points: one it is a letter to the editor, so not an article but also I think it is sarcastic because it says that Goddell should fire himself and appoint a black man also. I wish I was more certain it was sarcasm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I was more certain it was sarcasm. Agreed. I am not sure if it is sarcasm or not. The letter is just weird. It doesn't make a good point either way, addressing four entirely different issues too briefly without any real insight or logic: the stadium, relocation McD's coaching in the AFC Divisionals, and racism.

Just a schmuck that wrote a letter the the BN. But why would they put that on the front page or even publish it?

But it's not really news (it's a person who wrote a letter's corny opinion); and the first post is misleading, since it was just on a sidebar of trending news without the poster seeing the letter, not an actual article or opinion from a pundit. It's nothing to talk about, as no sane person would have this opinion. Edited February 20, 2022 by chongli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, they are brining attention to the letter, probably in an attempt to drive up clicks. Or maybe it is an automated process, and the most clicked on links get posted under their trending news via algorithm.

njbuff Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Maybe the Bills should release Josh Allen and trade for Teddy Bridgewater while they are at it. Seriously, WTF is wrong with these racists? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julian Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Is anyone really surprised ? People will jump to dismiss this as irrelevant and overblown because many who believe in racial equality have good intentions, and blatant racism against whites displayed on font pages of newspapers somehow discredits “real racism” therefore it cannot actually be racism. It’s really strange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 It’s not an “article” as others have noted, it’s a letter to the editor. It’s not “on the front page” of the physical newspaper, it’s in a column labeled “trending now” on the online version. Is it intentional by the News editors to draw readers? Probably. The letter already has 70+ comments, and it’s a schittshow as one might expect. Like it or not, racism (in the NFL and elsewhere) is still a very real issue. It’s very sad that some people are still so threatened by anyone suggesting that the white-privileged world we live in might not be perfect. The premise of the letter — that McD should be fired so the Bills can “end racism” by hiring a black HC — is obviously ludicrous. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Person gets offended by an obviously racist letter and all of a sudden it flips back to white privilege. How about just call out problems when you see them and stop twisting everything back to race? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 It's not an "article" It's not on the "front page" The news has not "fully endorsed racism". It's an online letter to the editor from a random schmuck desperate for attention. If you'd like to provide that attention to him you can start another thread that is not full of disinformation. 2 1 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
