I would be canned and HR would do everything they could to avoid a PR nightmare.
Don't excuse somebody for being a dipshit.

Real workplace/office scenario etc ====> NFL locker room.
You don't think there's a difference in the kind of environment/slang speech that's said????
So what he called a fan a faqqot? Who cares. Let me ask you this? Have you ever called someone a faqqot/queer etc? And when you did, did you apologize later? I bet you didn't.
People need to quit comparing real life workplaces etc to the NFL lifestyle because it's much different. Football is a ****ing game people. I understand it's considered their "job"...but let's be honest...they didn't go to college to ****ing get a degree to get a job outside of football. They went to college to improve their game to eventually get drafted into the NFL. This whole, "well I'd get called into HR and would get canned immediately" really to be honest doesn't apply here.
This is a league, where there are dog killers, murderers, people who've committed manslaughter, players use the N-word like it's their second language, all kinds of cursing and slurs being yelled at on the sidelines. The NFL is much different than "your job".
Look at Haley....perfect example. The way he talks to players, going ballistic at refs on the sidelines yelling out F-bombs left and right. If "your boss" at "your job" would do something like that would he be canned?!?!? There's a good chance he might. In your words he'd be canned immediately and HR would get in the middle of it. Like I said......the NFL and your job comparison doesn't apply here. MUCH different.
Example:
Scenario #1 NFL locker room
Player A says to Player B "Yo ni**er grab me that towel over there"
Result: Player B gets the towel for Player A, and that's that. End of story. Player A now has his towel that he needed.
Scenario #2 Your Office Cubicle
Worker A says to Worker B "Yo ni**er, grab me that stack of papers over there"
Result: Worker B gets offended, goes to management to complain, Worker A gets called in, gets reprimanded or possibly even fired, HR tries to cover up this situation from being "racially motivated"
