I don't know why he continues to work in Chicago honestly. Expand Anyone who works for someone else isn't fully in charge. Wherever RH would go... he still has a boss. JR gives as much space as anyone but he does own the team and still, he reports to a board. Life is full of those little irritations.

Saufley Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) This young team is good and will hopefully get better. If they win it will be in spite of JR and Kenny. Hopefully this move will not divide and destroy the team. Hoping for a big 2021! But, I just can't watch this news conference anymore.

KrankinSox Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 He basically said he's changed his stance on kneeling for the anthem. If players are sincerely protesting peacefully, he has no problem with it. He also listed a number of black players he's managed that can vouch for him not being a racist. Which apparently, according to people on this board, is bad to say. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
