McCoy on (Philadelphia Eagles coach) Kelly: 'There's a reason he got rid of all the black players'
CBS Sports ^ | May 6, 2015 | Jared Dubin

In an interview with ESPN.com, Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy answered a series of questions about his childhood growing up in Pennsylvania, his place in the league as a 26-year old running back, his new team, his new coach (Rex Ryan) and his former team and coach, the Philadelphia Eagles and Chip Kelly.

[Snip]

There's a reason. ... It's hard to explain with him. But there's a reason he got rid of all the black players -- the good ones

[Snip]

McCoy is now the second former member of the Eagles to hint at possible racism on Kelly's part this offseason. Former Eagle Tra Thomas, who did not play for Kelly but served as an offensive line assistant the last two seasons, said earlier in March, "One of the things that you're seeing right now, and these are the things that you have heard from the locker room from different players is that ... they feel like there is a hint of racism."

Demarco Murray is a far better running back than McCoy. And Kelly got him for much less money. And he deprived the Cowboys of their star running back and locker room leader. Chip Kelly made an intelligent move.

McCoy should enjoy Buffalo. They were the only team to pay his overpriced contract. I'm sure he will be calling them names soon.

“this is the first time I’ve heard him called racist”

He was called racist on ESPN by Steve Smith.

More than half the team roster is black. McCoy is calling Eagles players Uncle Toms?

Kelly trade McCoy and picked up DeMarco Murray and Ryan Matthews, who are black.

He let Jeremy Maclin leave in free agency and drafted Nelson Agoholor, who is black.

He traded gang banger DeSean Jackson last year and drafted Jordan Matthews and David Huff, who are black.

How does that prove Kelly is racist?

I suppose DeMarco Murray suddenly turned white when he left the Cowboys to go to the Eagles???.........

Maybe DeMarco is Republican so he doesn't count as black?

Based on what McCoy said several weeks ago.

He was the guy that threw down the ball BEFORE crossing the goal line so he could do his celebration dance in the end zone................Twice, I think..........

Media should not give publicity seeking stuff without investigating it first.

I guess that's why he signed DeMarco Murray?

Is DeMarco a lighter shade of black?
