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

[Davidson Deac II]

The ironic thing is that he specifically said he doesn't mind Chico, while he doesn't really like the Riverboat Ron nickname. 

 

Chico means boy in Spanish.  In this culture, that tends to be an insult for a number of reasons.  But in some cultures, its not and tends to be a typical nickname.  I know its that way in Filipino culture, not sure if it is that way in Puerto Rico.

I blame Razor Ramon for the white man using the term so much.

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?

Sorry bout derailing your thread but trolling these retards is just too much fun.

You fugging racist! Lol.

I'm white and get offended when someone refers to me as "Caucasian" because it has the word 'Asian' in it. Does that make me racist or PC? I don't know the rules anymore.

[Growl]

Lol at the backtracking.

[top dawg]

You are racist.

Nobody calls themselves Chico.

Maybe we should just call him ole' scratch back Ron.

Or how bout "ole don't wear work boots when you cross the" Rivera.

 

Ron Rivera has referred to him as Chico, and has even said that he actually prefers it

Show me where he asks people to call him Chico.

I think you are racially mistaking Coach for Chico.

Still waiting for that apology. But it won't happen.
