Can We Read Anything Into Chico's Panther Talk Comments?

[Proudiddy]

He was asked tonight on Panther Talk what it was like having to tell Cam that he was sitting. He talked about how difficult it was because Cam is a part of what we do and he's a competitor. He then says, "Since the day I got here, the first thing we had to do was find our franchise QB. We found that guy in Cam and now we're all in. We're committed to him now and he's our guy."

I can't promise that's verbatim, but it's as close as it gets... Considering Big Money's restructure yesterday, was that just usual cliche coach talk OR was it something more?

You can't just take away his identity

[Mr. Scot]

Standard coaching talk, I'd say.

Riverboat is his nickname, not fugging Chico.

Its so disrespectful and and people who call him that have no respect for him as a person.

If it wasn't a mod saying this I wouldnt be the only one to have a problem with it, but being its a mod posters will A. Defended it or B. Ignore it.

He calls himself Chico, he's referred to it many times. Its been his nickname since college. We've been over this before.

Show me where he asks people to call him Chico.

I think you are racially mistaking Coach for Chico.

[Growl]

Guys it's 2014 which means any acknowledgement of one's race is racist and your evil and old and probably white and stuff

Chico Chico Chico.

Proudiddy, I looked for some hidden meaning in the comments as you reported them but came up with nothing. That is no surprise however in that I rode the short bus to school in the early part of my life. My curiosity is piqued, however. What did you discern sir?

He has said himself he has no issue with it. Some have said he likes it. So, as far as I am concerned it's not up to you or anyone else what you find disrespectful. Get off your PR horse.

What a miserably boring world it would be if the PC crowd had their way and we all had to be exactly the same.

But this is transforming into a tinderbox discussion so ill stop axe grinding.
