    “I think the minute you guys start stop making a big deal about it everyone else will as well.”

    Todd Bowles nails the race baiting crap! As he said. The race baiters see you guys look like…creating the idea someone is oddball. Which as Coach Bowles shows is not the case.

    I was with a former NFL player who is one of my clients and he was watching this on his phone. I over heard it and looked at him and said WTF! And he was like I know the media just won't stop with the BS.

    His response was on par, but what does this have to do with equity issues throughout the U.S.?

    That was a bafflingly stupid question.

    Asking Bowles about his relationship with Tomlin is a legitimate question on its own. Skin color had no place in the question.

    Typical dumb media questions. But the fact that there are only 3 Black NFL head coaches is not because of the media. And Todd Bowles isn't saying that it's not a problem in NFL. He is trying to downplay a distraction before the game however.

    If his last name was actually Bowels and not Bowles that would be a rough life.

    Folks be more upset at the media bringing up racism than at the concept of racism itself. It’s very amusing.

    That’s exactly how I feel. Stupid racist libs want to make black folks feel like they don’t belong. I just want to forget what color we all are and move on. But…there’s too much money for some folks in racism.

    dumb question in my opinion, but I also don’t know if ESPN is defined as a liberal racist network. Seems a stretch.

    interesting defense from the reporter. She claims it was because of his hiring introduction… but weak because he basically said the same thing back then…

    Isn't it a little presumptious to assert that Todd Bowles is black?

    This nation's biggest tragedy is how bad racists feel when people call them racist.

    You realize they're owned by Disney, right? About as liberal as it gets. Not sure about racist in its present incarnation, but they do have a history of racism and antisemitism.

    The question was stupid, not racist.
