LeSean McCoy: Chip Kelly “got rid of all the black players”
Posted by Darin Gantt on May 6, 2015, 10:22 AM EDT
Bills running back LeSean McCoy isn’t backing down from the idea that he and Eagles coach Chip Kelly’s relationship is the reason for his departure, saying Kelly didn’t like or respect stars.
And he doubled down on those comments by making a serious allegation.
In an interview with ESPN the Magazine, McCoy said Kelly was uncomfortable with him, with an uncomfortable reason for it.
“The relationship was never really great,” McCoy said. “I feel like I always respected him as a coach. I think that’s the way he runs his team. He wants the full control. You see how fast he got rid of all the good players. Especially all the good black players. He got rid of them the fastest. That’s the truth. 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 — like that.”
McCoy didn’t elaborate, and the Eagles didn’t comment on the statement, which is probably just as well.
McCoy’s statements track along with the accusation/non-accusation of ESPN talker Stephen A. Smith in March, who suggested the same sinister motive.
Kelly’s approach to running off stars seems color-blind, considering the way he openly taunted guard Evan Mathis last weekend, saying no one has offered to trade for him in two years.
But clearly, McCoy has a problem with Kelly that goes beyond skin deep.

I posted this in another thread, but figured it probably needed it's own thread. So, McCoy is saying that Kelly is a racist d-bag. This should be interesting.
