Chip Kelly has been at the center of a swirling controversy regarding his purported racist tendencies even since LeSean McCoy, shortly after signing with the Buffalo Bills, accused the Philadelphia Eagles head coach of having a habit of “getting rid of all the good black players” on the team.
To hear from current members of the team, it’s not so much that Kelly’s so-called issues with certain players are racial in nature. Instead, it’s suggested that the head coach’s dictatorial style can be off-putting to some of them and his actions are misinterpreted.
Two players currently on the Eagles roster have come forward to speak on the issue, telling Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman that Kelly doesn’t have issues with race, although both refused to be identified over fear of reprisal from the coach.
