The Philadelphia Eagles made some pretty questionable choices and ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith inferred that coach Chip Kelly was getting rid of the black players although he added more. One of those moves was trading star running back LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills. McCoy maintains that his relationship with Kelly is the reason for his departure and that Kelly doesn’t like or respect stars. McCoy also made another serious allegation that coincided with Smith.
In an interview with ESPN the Magazine, McCoy said Kelly was uncomfortable with him, and there was an uncomfortable reason for it.
“The relationship was never really great,” McCoy said. “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 Philadelphia Eagles declined to comment on McCoy’s allegation.
