OT: A “journalist” is highly critical of Tom Brady’s son being ball boy

[jimnance]

Rob Parker is a racist.

Maybe a pedophile, too.

Not maybe. More probable than not.

The man needs to eat.

No, he doesn't. The world would be no poorer without Rob Parker.

 

[RobertWeathers]

He brings up fair and serious points but using the Brady/Son headliner to draw in readers is completely unfair to Tom's son.

More oxygen for us and less hot air contributing to global warming.

Rob Parker and Deadspin are a match made in hell. I don't know what happened to Deadspin over the last decade but they used to have a lot of funny content. Now they write these holier than thou articles and just crap on absolutely everything. A constant stream of negativity and manufactured outrage over nothing.

Tom Brady is gone.....there is no Tom Brady

I heard he changed his name to a symbol like Prince

I wonder what it must be like to be so angry every day that you are irate over a 14 year old ball boy. And to think he believes it is because Brady is white and not the GOAT Qb who just delivered a ring in year one to the losingest franchise in NFL history.

I don’t think he’s angry, he’s just contriving controversy to keep a job and acting angry. If his shtick wasn’t sensationalism, he wouldn’t care about this kid doing a kid thing.

Might as well.

Rob Parker is not worth your time. Sadly, a lot of sports talk nowadays consists of the he/said she/said rhetoric accept in most cases its two men where each take the opposite chair in debate with a contrarian approach. Society loves it though. Sadly there are a lot of sheep out there that eat it up.

I mean, the nepotism problem he is talking about does exist. The under representation of Black people in management position does exist too.

However the leaps he is making from Tom Brady's son to that problem is utterly ridiculous. Tom Brady gets that privilege not because he is white, he is getting it because he is the GOAT. He would not get that privilege in New England.

The two issues are not related whatsoever, IMO. Well, Jack getting a summer job as a ballboy is not what I would even call an "issue". It is just a fun story.

His argument is since the majority of the players are black the majority of coaches should be. But most coaches are career coaches not players, and most players don’t want to be coaches.
The interesting research would be how does the racial makeup of coaches, including assistants, compare to the makeup of players. Including career coaches seems to cloud the point.

He made a point that belichick has 2 kids on the staff, but ignored that he has 4 former players on the coaching staff and 3 are black.

I'll just leave this here.

Your point being? That Black people can be privileged too?

 

[Deus Irae]

Your point being? That Black people can be privileged too?

The point is that people, regardless of race, often like having their kids nearby. The point is that people, regardless of race, often help those they know get entry level jobs. The point is that you agreed with that idiot about a complete non-issue, and foolishly agreed with the false idea that it's a problem.

A "journalist".......

Should I Ask again?

There’s now a sub-group of forum members who spend 99% of their time whining that Tom Brady is discussed on the forum. They talk less about the Patriots than the people they complain about.

 

[Fixit]

I'm 100% convinced that Parker's ultimate goal is to goad Brady into some kind of confrontation that he can cash in on for the rest of his life.
