No blackball required. You black ball yourself.
You can easily replace average without the headache. Being right or wrong is irrelevant when you piss off 50% of your customers or most of your employees in a league that requires talent over everything else.
You’re Vic fucking Fangio. You work at the assistant level for all those years, finally get a HC gig at 60, go 7-9 in one season, and somehow get involved in a race discussion as the country burns? How the fuck did you end up commenting on that shit? Throw your winning lottery ticket that you waited 30 years for on one of the burning buildings.
Hopefully he keeps his job, but it somehow escaped you that many guys in the league describe it as modern day slavery? It doesn’t matter if you’re right and they’re coddled compared to us who live in the real world. If you’re Belichik, you’re fine. If you’re Vic Fangio, you better hope your guys really love you.
Every time I’ve seen Kap rumored to go somewhere I struggle to see why any team would want the headache for a guy who was limited and you had to game plan around at his peak to maximize what he did well, and a backup now.
I’m consistently surprised when these people step on their own dicks with polarizing political statements or even a benign one.
You should be forced to take a Dixie Chicks course when you attain any prominence in life. Watch the story of three chicks who started half a billion dollars on fire, and even later when 90% of the world agrees with you and think the war in Iraq was retarded, you’ll still be irrelevant and won’t get the $ back.
I’ve never felt that strongly about a political or societal issue to fuck up my life over it. I couldn’t imagine bringing my feelings to work if I had a dream gig at the top of the sports world.
The flow chart basically is, are you in the conversation for the greatest of all time? If yes, knock yourself out. If no, shut up.
Right or wrong has no relevance.
If you want to be BLM or MAGA guy at work, you better be LeBron or Brady.
