Sports media constantly declare that racism is why more coaches aren’t black, writes ZacharyFaria. They want coaches to be hired because of their skin color... As a result, the significance of Bowles’s hiring is devalued.
This was on display as sports reporters tried to hound Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles into giving them a racial soundbite. The Buccaneers are playing the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. Like Bowles, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is black. So one reporter decided to ask if Tomlin and Bowles had some special relationship as two black coaches and what Bowles thought about Steve Wilks, who is black, taking over as the interim head coach of the Carolina Panthers.
Bowles on representation in coaching:"I think the minute you guys stop making a big deal about it, everybody else will as well."— David Schiele WTSP October 12, 2022 Not good enough, the race hustlers replied! “Well, when you say ‘see you guys’ and ‘look like them’ and ‘grew up like them’ means that we’re oddballs to begin with,” Bowles said. “I think the minute you guys stop making a big deal about it, everyone else will as well.”
Let me clarify something...I wasn’t telling Todd Bowles how he should think or feel about racial representation. I was seeking clarity because his response to the initial question from another reporter Wednesday differed quite a bit from this response March 31 when he was hired. pic.twitter.com/TQ6kHKI6ci
