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

[Awesomeness!!]

Racial slurs directed at other players in a hateful way "Fug you, you (Insert racial slur here)" should be meant with more than a flag. It should be grounds for an ejection/fine/suspension, only because we as human beings need to be beyond that by now.

 

Words of endearment used in context, such as "Good play my nigga" should be left alone by the National Football League. This is an overreach.

[stirs]

So now referees are supposed to judge intent of the words use?

 

Goodbye football.  The game would become a boofest.

The funny part is black people will get penalized most.

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.

That's how that slang word was born, but apparently your to ignorant to realise I was saying that. Its ok small minds worry about small things.

Honestly this is why it should not be touched. The word has a double meaning and to try to divided the two would be very hard for a official. Let's face it, its hard enough on them to catch what's going on now, do you really want them to slow the game even more to see if someone says a bad word?

I think if its a big deal the NFL should let teams fine players for bad word use just like the Steelers tried to do. That would be a moreeeffective way than putting it on the refs.

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.

 

 

LOL easily the most ignorant thing I'll read on the internet today.

Absolutely. the N word is a bad word. Nobody should say - but unfortunately many people do. How is it any different when a black person says than when a white person says it? Is it any different if you're out in a public, social setting and a group of blacks are tossing the word around every 3 sentences? It's vulgar. What if a young child hears it? I'm uncomfortable around the word.

you can however imagine "a biker gang" to be an acceptable analogue to "a black person" which tbh needs some sort of explanation

like how do we get from "yeah you wouldn't say that to a black person" to "OH YEAH WELL YOU WOULDN'T CALL A BUNCH OF BIKERS CRACKERS WOULD YA" if it isn't a product of your own fear

No its just a relation to a statement that was ignorant. You do understand that I'm smarter than you and trying to troll me will not work.

[Snake]

it wouldn't be hard at all actually. if a white player says it, the official could stop the game, point at him, and say "15 yards for being a piece of poo. the player has been ejected" and it would work out just fine

And in your small mind that is fair. I really do get that.

[Snake]

well you would have to be pretty fuging stupid to attempt to explain what you said so i'll admit, you're not the dumbest poster around

Well at least we can agree I am not dumb.

[Snake]

ABLOOBLOOBLOO BLACK PEOPLE CAN SAY THE N WORD BUT WHITE PEOPLE CAN'T IT'S JUST NOT FAIR

No its just volgar no matter who says it. Its like someone yelling out GD, I don't like it no matter who's mouth it comes out of.

ABLOOBLOOBLOO BLACK PEOPLE CAN SAY THE N WORD BUT WHITE PEOPLE CAN'T IT'S JUST NOT FAIR

 

This is stupid on so many levels. 

[Snake]

should goddamn be the next word we ban then

someone get the competition committee on the line

Thus my original statement and also proof of your stupidity all in one post. Can we get this guy banned now?
