LeSean McCoy on Chip Kelly: 'There's a reason he got rid of all the black players'

For someone who seemed thrilled to leave the Philadelphia Eagles in his rearview mirror, running back LeSean McCoy sure does love talking about his time there. In his latest screed against his old team, the new Buffalo Bills running back, who was traded this offseason, insinuated something about Chip Kelly and his treatment of talented, black players, but never explained what or why Kelly would have it out for players such as McCoy or DeSean Jackson.
ESPN asked McCoy about his April comments in which he said Kelly doesn’t “like or respect stars.” His enigmatic answer follows:
[Our] relationship was never really great. 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.

The running back says ‘”people have heard [about] it,” referring to Kelly’s tendency to “Get rid of [black players] the fastest,” then used Stephen A. Smith as an example, which is about as meaningful as listing Richie Incognito as a character reference. But for all McCoy’s bluster and not-so-subtle allusions to racism, he continues to fail to to give one reason why Kelly has gotten rid of him and Jackson. (Not to mention Nick Foles, who is white.)
It’s surely not due to any shyness in discussing the subject — talking about Kelly is all McCoy seems to want to do. So hiding behind “it’s hard to explain with him” and “there’s a reason he got rid of all the black players like that” without actually stating that reason is a lame copout after throwing around serious accusations.

But don’t worry. Despite the incendiary quotes and continued discussions about his old coach, McCoy isn’t fixating on Kelly.
“I’m on a new team, ready to play. So it’s nothing to do with Chip. I have no hatred toward him, nothing to say negative about him.”
