Default Re: OU baseball coach has to resign for using the n word

ha, i was about to make the same comment about "sufferage." Do you mean suffrage, as in the right to vote? And you wonder if that will ever be forgiven? reminds me of a man show sketch.

I also love the part about "I have black friends, I am not prejudice." Whether this statement is true or not, this is a horrible disclaimer to make right before you make racial comments, as no one who already thinks you are racist is going to believe it.

I think you missed my point. It's not about political correctness and it's not about the abundance of freedoms blacks enjoy over whites (sarcasm).

When you have a career and are speaking on behalf of your employer (as a coach does whenever he is interviewed by the press), one needs to be careful of what is said. This is especially true when speaking to the media, lawyers, or insurance agents. The guy had a contract, and certainly violated at least one part of it when he gave his interviews, and probably previously broke it every time he called someone a nigger while wearing an OU uniform. When you break your contractual obligations you can lose your job.
