NFL considering 15yd penalty for use of "N Word" in games

[coralreefer_1]

Its a dumb idea for many reasons, and wont make it past the meeting on the issue.

 

The end

[Kevin Greene]

10 yards if you say poopoo face?

[General_Purr]

stupid that they censor nything said during the game.

 

complete bullshit.

 

its a mans sport cant take the heat get out the kitchen bioooooootches

[Jangler]

This country is an effed up pile of dung. Too worried about stupid $hit like this. Pretty soon the NFL will be a game of touch football with a bunch of dudes wearing dresses. Let these guys play football and realize its an emotional game and cursing and name calling is just part of it.

 

What will those dresses look like?

Charles Johnson uploaded a video to IG of him fishing with his buddies & I heard nigga at least 6 times in 10 seconds.

 

It wasn't at his work place though.  If I used the N-word in my work place, I would be fired.  These guys get a 15 yard penalty.  I'm sorry but I'm not going to feel bad for the players in this case.

Yeah, people, the world is going to hell if you can't excercise your first amendment rights and call an other human a N*****.  Some of you are just idiots exposed by the anonymity of fake names and the internet.

well i can't imagine ever whining to a group of bikers about how white people can't say the n word so why would "cracker" even come up?

Well I can't imagine a sport that punishes a team for using the Spanish word for black.

Ya and you would probably get fired for any racial slur.

Steelers taking the best approach.  Get rid of it in your own practices and environments and then you don't have to worry about it on Sundays

I agree. If an organization has a problem with it's players language they should be able to handle the problem "in house".

As for the people comparing the language rules to their particular workplaces consider this; when you're at work you do not have to engage in intense physical aggression against your coworkers that could result in a career ending injury. I think making poor verbal decisions is understandable in this context.

I hate the N word when it's used in any negative way by ANYONE but we are well beyond our culture's event horizon for the word. You can't pretend it is not "there". Attempts to do so are exercises in pandering naiveity.

As long as this includes all other slurs. I was called a "honkey" once...

 

I'm reporting this post for being too funny

Apparently you can't speak spanish very well. At the the very least you can't spell it. The pronunciation sounds like "neh-gro" and it is an adjective not a noun.

I'm suprised you're not banned yet.

No, but we do make decisions every day that affects the lives of many other people.  Because they are playing a sport does not mean they need to be able to use racial slurs in order to do their job.
