What do you expect from Texas?
A lot of these alums and people who root for teams see players like hired slaves for their entertainment. They assume they are all from the hood and all they can do is dribble a basketball or tackle someone on the field.
This was a slip, but he meant every word of it.
Baylor basketball will not be accepting the use of a Jeep from a Waco car dealership after the dealership’s general manager made an insensitive remark during a television interview.
Ted Teague, the general manager of the Allen Samuels Auto Group dealership in Waco, said he would be providing Baylor coach Scott Drew with the use of a customized Jeep after the men’s basketball team won the NCAA tournament. Teague said that the dealer had given Baylor women’s coach Kim Mulkey the use of a Corvette and wanted to keep the tradition going for Drew.
Then he made a recruiting comment that made Baylor rebuff the offer.
“Coach Scott can enjoy it and he’ll use it to pull some people out of the hood,” Teague said in an interview with KWTX in Waco on Tuesday.
He hasn’t apologized for the comment, because like I said he meant it.
I wonder what else he says behind closed doors?
