Didnt some prominent football prospect lose a full scholarship offer over something like that? It was in the last year or so I think.

Yep....a HS QB going to Florida had his scholarship yanked after singing a rap song with the N word. My buddy's daughter had an issue for the very same reason after her basketball team sang a rap song using the lyrics. Of course, a black team mate took offense....not at the song that used the word as part of the lyrics, but at her teammates singing the song and repeating the lyrics. Thank goodness I'm not growing up in today's day and age.

I saw the tweet as well, I do think it was an honest slip of the tongue but the day and age we are in is different, and he will probably pay the price.

I don't like that anyone would use the word, even the people in the rap world. (And I hate rap and hip hop music anyway, so choose to never listen, but I know they use it frequently)

He lost his job and I doubt he'll get another job in broadcasting again.

Clearly a menace to society, glad he is off the streets.

We don't need to use that jail cell for murderers, rapists or drug dealers at all.

ya but what about the false flag kid who rammed the fence at the white house???

had a nazi flag laid out perfectly on the ground for a photo op

i read hes supposedly getting 1 week in federal prison

i guess it makes a difference if you were contracted by a left wing extremist group vs right wing

And on the flip side of the issue, I've seen college age kids disciplined for saying the word while singing a rap song where the word was part of the lyrics. That's a bridge too far IMO but these are landmines our kids have to deal with since I don't listen to rap.

When I was about 7, my family was sitting at the dinner table one Sunday and my older brother, who was about 9, used the n word not even knowing what it meant. Without hesitation, my father simply smacked my brother across the mouth with the back of his hand and said "don't ever use that word again!" I had no idea what the word meant either so I was shocked by my dad's reaction. I had no idea what my brother had done, and neither did my brother. So it became a word I would never use. Still I always wondered why that word was so bad but calling someone an a-hole, or s-head was so much more acceptable. At the end of the day, I think it is about control or a fight for some level of it.

Around that same time a kid up the block from where I lived was teasing me and calling me names including dago and wop. I had no idea what those meant either so I had no reaction to them. But when I went home I asked my mother what they meant and her reaction was very different. She said, "sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never harm you." Her advice was well take. I don't care what others have to say about me.

What I am trying to say is words mean nothing unless we give them power. I am not suggesting we should use the n word liberally. I just think the outrage and claims of offense is less about feelings and more about control. We all need to develop a thicker skin. That means be proud of who you are as an individual. It is armor against name-calling.

I have mixed thoughts on this. First I believe if target sells clothes aimed at the alphabet market, who cares?

At the same time I think the slogan, "Pride" is divisive. Why are gays allowed to be proud of who they are but the rest of us are not? If straight people came up with a flag for straight pride we all know it would be considered a symbol of hatred. It would not be tolerated. We are telling people, and especially kids, you cannot be proud of your sexuality unless you are gay. They feel pressured to join the alphabet club or be considered hateful.

Pride and BLM are a mean of dividing us and creating barriers. BLM says, "all lives cannot matter until black lives matter". But all lives cannot matter until all lives matter regardless of race. It is hard not to believe that someone is trying hard to pit us against each other.

Trans Cyclist Emily Bridges has launched a scathing attack on British Cycling, accusing it of “genocide” against transgender cyclists after trans ‘women’ were permanently banned from racing against females in British competitive events.

I don't know why this so hard for these fucktards to understand.

If you were born a man, you were a man. You are now trying to play in woman's sports because you either claim you are a woman and wear dresses, or you had your dick and balls cut off which means your a mental fucktard. Either way, you were still born a man.

If you don't like having to compete against men or know they are men because you know you will fucking get your ass beat you have two choices: 1) dont try to participate in any competitive sports or 2) petition other fucktards to create a transtard division of sports

Let someone don black face and identify as a black dude the way some simp wears a wig and thinks that makes him a woman. Who's to argue?
