Tim Duncan: "Retarded"

Is anyone else as shocked as I am about his comment regarding the proposed NBA dress code? Sorry I don't have the link, but I'm sure most of you sports fans know what I'm talking about.

Is it me, or if a "white male devil" said anything was "retarded", he'd be forced to make a public apology and retire or step down from whatever position he held at that time?

I mean I saw his comment, and was like "Whoa...he oughtta hear some S*** for that one... poor guy". I mean he's a good ambassador for the game, but come on...

Honestly, he should apologize for using this word. BTW, I'm not one of these "PC policemen", but I just think that it's unfair treatment. The NBA loves African-American superstars that have their head screwed on correctly, and thus, I don't think they are going to make an issue of this.

To me, an NBA superstar publicly likening anything to being "Retarded", is far more offensive than wearing gold chains. Stern isn't seeing the trees for the forest.

In the words of Steven A. Smith: "Yeah, I said it. Get over it."
