Quote from Coach Long in Pilot
Lillian: Why would you want to play with a bunch of White boys? Coach Long: Exactly. Dean: Why does that matter? Coach Long: Oh, it doesn't to us. But trust me, it will to them. Dean: How do you know if you don't try? Isn't that what you're always telling me? Lillian: For what it's worth, I met Brad's dad, and he's our kind of people. Coach Long: That still don't mean I want some whitey pitcher throwing at our boys' heads. Lillian: Well, let's not get to calling names. Adult Dean: Never mind that there were teams called the Redskins, Chiefs, and Savages and no one batted an eye.
