I love how Darren Sharper said he couldn't be on the team with the guy. Really? So, you mean to tell me he was on teams that never used derogatory language towards anyone?? Riiiighhhttt....
I love how high and mighty these people (in media and NFL) who are offended are. If you are offended by that kind of language from boys in the locker room, then you are in the wrong profession. I also love how the Eagles are going to send him to 'pray the racist away" camp. Sensitivity training??? . So are they doing that for every player who says '****er" or 'Cracker" or "bundle of sticks". Every player in the league would be 'Sensitivity training". Those players need to realize they **** up and say stupid racist, bigoted shit too, just like he did, and to give him some slack.

Whitlock always goes against the grain on all issues. This was expected.

I don't condone the use of that word, ever, but this shit has completely gotten out of hand.
Michael Vick killed dogs. Donte Stallworth killed a human being. Both played in the NFL afterward and neither were a distraction in the locker room. Killers. Felons. Not a distraction. But a drunk guy says the "N" word and he's on the verge of losing his job, forever, because he's now labeled a "distraction"? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Riley's biggest mistake was saying "n****r" instead of "n***a". If he had said "n***a", it would have all been "okay", which makes this situation absolutely absurd. |

It is sort of interesting because I've heard media people make a huge issue of it and then when they've had athletes or African American writers or professors on they've been sort of like, 'Yeah, we need to just understand that he said I'm sorry and try to move forward."

If the word brings back 300 years of pain and suffering to African Americans- then why do they perpetuate the word even more and glamorize it in movies and rap lyrics? Sorry I don't call my friends "cracker" lol "Hows my cracker doing today?" "You Crackers ready to party?" |

That's another interesting thing - you have guys that have slapped women around, guys with multiple felonies, there's been guys that have killed people in DUIs and a host of other stuff, and they stay on rosters. But apparently being racist is worse. You hear people say he should basically lose his job. |
