Skip and Steven A are jackasses. BUT:
Why are there so few black head coaches in the NFL? You gotta admit that it's at least a little weird. Or perhaps there's a logical reason that some of us aren't seeing. The fact that the Rooney rule even exists is just weird.
I have a really hard time believing everybody's a fucking racist but WTF is up with that?
It's not really that weird if you just reason it out. Most NFL players being black doesn't mean that most coaches are also going to be black.
Most NFL players are black, but most collegiate players (all levels) are still not black. There are more black players that go on to play at a professional level, thus more non-black players that don't. Those players that don't play professionally tend to get started in coaching immediately after graduating college which gives them a head start on anybody who goes on to play in the pros. Thus you've got more non-black coaches overall.
There's obviously other factors too but that's the most obvious one that nobody ever talks about.
That's about some stupid shit right there
"dumbest media personality?" I don't know. He's pretty f'n stupid but there are a lot of them to choose from
I don’t think it has to do with race at all.Skip and Steven A are jackasses. BUT:

He’s a lot of things but he definitely isn’t stupid. His goal was to get you pissed off enough to go and share his tweet. And there are tons more like you that do the same thing and it manufactures relevancy for him.
On a message board? we also shared a tweet about Kelce drinking a mini that a fan threw him and a pic of a fat drunk Eagles fan that broke into a fire station in Florida. Not sure that makes him relevant. His arrow has been pointing down for a while now.He’s a lot of things but he definitely isn’t stupid.

Project this by a factor of 100s of thousands. It’s not a single act by you. It all translates to views. This is just one Twitter user and it’s 125 k views. There are likely dozens if not hundreds of others that tweeted the same video clip. Bayless sells nonsense to draw eyes. The sports media has become over saturated and now the recipe for getting attention is horrible hot take after hot take.On a message board? we also shared a tweet about Kelce drinking a mini that a fan threw him and a pic of a fat drunk Eagles fan that broke into a fire station in Florida.

No, what I meant was posting it on a message board where many inane things are discussed ad nauseam doesn’t make it relevant, not meaning it doesn’t put a lot of eyes or a spotlight on it.Project this by a factor of 100s of thousands.

Got it. At the same time, in this moment, the eyes is what creates relevancy. I’m so sick and tired of sports media and really all media in general. My comment was really about the declaration that Bayless is stupid. Unfortunately for us, he’s not. He’s figured out how the game is played and used that carve out millions and of course relevancy despite being a no talent ass clown.No, what I meant was posting it on a message board where many inane things are discussed ad nauseam doesn’t make it relevant, not meaning it doesn’t put a lot of eyes or a spotlight on it.
Could be. I guess I don’t see making money/generating a brand and being stupid as being mutually exclusive. there comes a point in time where I would think someone’s reputation is more important to them than their pay check.Got it.

Fair. But if that was the case, if Bayless was concerned with his rep, Skip Bayless never becomes Skip Bayless. Cowherd, Screamin A Smith, the whole gang.Could be.
