Travis Kelce gently nudged, even pushed head coach Andy Reid in the second quarter of the Super Bowl after Reid removed Kelce from the game on a play in which the Chiefs fumbled the ball in the red zone.
Former Chief Tyreek Hill suggested that fans and media downplayed the incident because Kelce is Caucasian. Hill responded to Eagles receiver A.J. Brown stating that he would have been expelled from the NFL if he had pushed his coach.
Hill implies that white players are privileged and therefore exempt from misconduct. That’s an interesting argument to make. No player in the NFL has gotten away with more misconduct than Tyreek Hill, who is clearly not Caucasian.
Let’s summarize:
Hill admitted guilt to strangling his pregnant girlfriend in 2015 while in college. Despite this, he was still drafted.
In 2019, the police investigated Hill for an incident in which his three-year-old son suffered a broken arm. TMZ then obtained an alleged audio recording of Hill and his then-fiancee Crystal Espinal arguing about the child’s injury, during which Espinal informs Hill that their son is afraid of him.
Hill responded, “You should be afraid of me too, bitch.”
Neither the Chiefs nor the NFL suspended Hill for the incident. He faced no consequences for his behavior.
In short, Tyreek Hill is not the one who should be accusing the NFL of white privilege. If the NFL were biased against black men, they would have made an example out of him long ago.
They never have. Hill has evaded accountability for most of his career.
Most players in the NFL do the same, regardless of their race.
Apart from Ray Rice, whose domestic abuse incident led to a cultural awakening, the NFL has given black players multiple chances.
May we remind you of Michael Vick, Kareem Hunt, Ray Lewis, Ezekiel Elliott, and Adrian Peterson?
Current players, former players, and members of the media continue to attempt to fabricate evidence that the NFL is racist against black players.
Their references rarely carry weight.
The NFL is one of the few remaining true meritocracies. Black and white players are treated equally. Perhaps that’s what bothers Tyreek Hill, A.J. Brown, and Ryan Clark so much?
