Mr. Burns, he's like a personal assistant. Good guy from what I hear.

Like how someone can equate usage of profane language in front of church goers with derogatory racial slurs?

There are things that you say in one place that you wouldn't say in others.

T-bird has been spot on here from his first post. You're the one who decided to come in over the top with ~it's derogatory and white people shouldn't use it at all~... then provided a weird caveat that it's ok to use it privately?

---

You just stated that it's a racial slur. It has a history of how it was used and people take offense to it. If you know that then don't be surprised that people react to it.

It's not that difficult... don't be a racist a-hole. Period

Agreed...

If you're saying things privately and thinking them to yourself, what makes that better than the dude who publicly states the same opinion. I'd argue that it's probably a bit worse... at least the dude who states it publicly lets everyone know where he stands... even if it is wrong. Closet racism would seemingly be much worse... making selective hires based on skin color, "it's ok for white girls to date black men, but not my daughter", etc...

Few things here for me, one is that My point about it being "ok" to say it privately (which to me it isn't, but you can say what you want in private at times without consequence, but what's cool with someone else may not be with me) was more geared towards those who insist that they should be able to say it when and wherever they feel (1st Amendment and all) As I've stated earlier because of the history of it people will take offense to it.

Next you're right the guy who publicly states it lets everyone know where he stands, not to infer but it's probably been said "privately" enough to where he was comfortable enough to say it publicly. Which brings me to another point that lets me know where many others around him stood as well and though many tried to stop him there were some that didn't. Again I applaud the young lady who reported it

I understand context but it goes both ways. But this is why I don't like texting or chatting back and forth. The conversation would probably be a whole lot better and more productive face to face

Too much to breakdown here, but there will always be some things that people don't understand.

I'm not refuting context. But if context matters so does setting and a lot of other factors. Some people don't care what context it's used in for them it's unacceptable and offensive.

Due to it's history, people know where and when to use it as well. That's the same as I said earlier with cursing.

Never said anything like that, I highlighted the fact that it's offensive and why. The young lady who reported it believed so as well. The kid felt comfortable enough to say it, she was brave enough to report it, and consequences came behind it because people find it offensive.

Also no one is telling you u can't say it. Say it all u want in private but in public people will have a reaction to it. Do u curse in church? No one is saying u can't curse but u respect the people around u and the place where you are so u don't say it in public because people will have a reaction to it.

Instead of questioning why you can or can't say it just don't say it. How hard can that be?

Sponsorships play a role. Also just a personal opinion of mine is that coaches have more media and events now where they wear their tailored suits.

Yeah, Cowherd picked Bama, but the others aren't surprising at all. Kanell is the biggest Bama troll ever with Galloway running a close second.

I think he should leave. No guarantee his production will go up next year and last night will have NFL teams salivating over the possibilities when given more opportunities. No later than 2nd round
