OK, dude is a POS but are we really going to suspend him over that?

Getting LJ for this is like getting Al Capone on income tax evasion. If Haley and Pioli think he is a locker room cancer, cut him. (And his twitter comments about Haley and his past history certainly suggest he may be.) But THIS supposed slur?

Any dufus that is offended by that but thinks nothing of having a cock in their mouth has their priorities all ****ed up...

no they aren't gonna suspend him JUST for that... he dogged on the coach...

he had that EGO EGO EGO EGO comment a couple weeks ago...

He called a fan a phag and he told reporters to get their phaggo ass outta here...

i'd say its a combination of things.

and he spells bad.

Not to mention the fact that he already apologized for it thereby admitting guilt.

Exactly.

I'm hearing "Golden flag vents and chowder hair."

I'm not advocating, defending, OR dingrating anyone here. I do feel the politically correct syntax folk are a problem in terms of free speech. Free speech is far from free these days.

I'm not talking about hateful language which is, in and of itself, becoming highly subjective. The lines of what is or isn't 'acceptable' have been drawn so close to the edge that the edge is disappearing from our society.

And I don't think that's a good thing or what the writers of the constitution had in mind when they penned the Bill of Rights.

yep

"a ****, is that it?"

What does the quality of the audio have to do with whether or not the statement is actionable? The audio shows that he said what reporters reported that he said. :shrug:

Would you be saying that if it was a white player who said "get your n***** ass out of here" after calling a fan the same thing on twitter?

It's not the quality of the audio. It was the apparent lack of malice associated with the comment.

I'm not sure about that but it makes me wonder about the sexual orientation of the offended reporter.

If I was a white reporter and I asked some upset athlete in their lockeroom a stupid question and his response was "pound mud, honkey" I wouldn't be offended. Replace pillowbiter, pollock or any other derogatory racial slur and I wouldn't be offended. What do you expect? You're in their space asking dumb questions after a painful loss.
