Why do people keep questioning Coach Prime??? :mjcry:


Nah but real shyt he was asked something similar about Lamar Jackson and I can't remember who else on The Pivot this weekend. His answer was the father of the other guy was still present in his life.

He’s 100% right. Deion comments are ignorant and c00nish as fukk. I don’t care how anyone tries to spin in. It’s 2023. Most of these new recruits grew up in two parent households and are sons of former athletes.

Deion out here sounding like an old white conservative and people are defending it.

First off, he said "dual parents", not "married parents". His son qualifies as that, cause he has both of his parents actively in his life. Dragging the divorce into the convo was low brow. Bomani reaching and looking for viral moments.
Youre being obtuse. Bomani’s point was that it’s ignorant to judge a kid based upon his parents’ decisions.

He's not. He's making a decision based on the environment, stability, the likelihood of the kid having the ability to take direction and correction from anyone, and the ability to be held accountable by anyone regardless of gender. Plus, how is he judging a kid based on his parents decisions, when the next thing out his mouth was THE KID maintaining a certain GPA? Let me guess, Bomani, nor you, have a narrative whining about Deion not wanting kids with a 3.0 instead of a 3.5, do you? Just admit, you've been conditioned to correlate "single parent" with black people, and now you wanna whine as if a black man said something bogus about black people. I never would have thought we'd get to the point where saying "dual parents" was a shot at black people, yet here we are.

These folks just be talking sometimes I clearly understand what Deion was saying. And at times I’ve made considerations for things like this. And honestly so far I have not been proven wrong.

Why are you mafukkas so angry when it comes to people’s perceptions when a lot of the times it’s some reality behind it. Like folks are mad at human nature and trying to change it and then they get upset when other humans struggle to embrace the ideaology probably because it isn’t normal/natural.

When I’m looking for someone to take over a project I look at multiple things some of which has nothing to do with academic pedigree or work production. I look at attitude rather others can deal with them are they efficient do they maintain a positive leadership climate etc. and part of that does go to this. I tended to trust those who were married or had family values that more so aligned with the majority of the team.

Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
Deion just saying the quiet part out loud. Statistics reinforce everything Deion says, but I get why folks are mad.

QB is one of it not the toughest position to master in all of professional sports. It takes not only raw talent, but a level of intelligence to truly excel at the position. Kids that come from households where both parents are actively involved GENERALLY do better in classes, have less legal issues, etc. etc.

I’m not saying there aren’t nuances of being a Defensive tackle either, but at that position raw freakish athleticism is going to trump all. Kids from single parent households are generally more prone to violence. It’s a violent game and the trenches of the line of scrimmage is the most violent of them all :yeshrug: These kids are going to be hungry, pure adrenaline and power based on life situations which makes them perfect for that position

The above archetypes are just the average. You can obviously excel being a QB from a broken home or being on the DLine from a stable two parent household.

Like I said I get why folks are mad because of the rhetoric this can potentially introduce but this isn’t a new state of the art coaching concept, Deion just saying it for the masses.
