Why is it so hard for White people to understand what it means when a Black person uses the “N word?” It wasn’t “used as an insult.” It’s the same as if he had said “weak ass dude.” You wouldn’t say “dude” was used an insult. “Weak ass” is the insult. 

K thanks internet psychologist. Just play along or walk away.

There aren’t more than 10-15 QBs in the league that would’ve put up the numbers Kap did last year with that garbage ass 49ers team. Your comment only serves to muddy the waters as to the bullshit the NFL is doing.

What controversial opinion did Tim Tebow voice? I don’t remember that.

I’ll be good if I can avoid your kind for another few hours.

If all it takes for you to act like an incredible asshole is to disagree about a really good player’s credentials for getting in a team’s “Ring of Honor,” then I’m pretty sure you’re an incredible asshole.

This is more smhjets

Let’s hope everything is legal there and we don’t have a MR F situation.

This sounds personal!

You sound fun.

Right?!?! Fuck actively participating in democracy! Bow down to your corporate overlords and shut your brains off. It’s the only way to truly be free.

Um, what?

I don’t know anything about Calkins other than this article, but it is completely fair for him to explain his thought process in the midst of an apology that almost no other sports reporter would have made. It’s a fair question to wonder about too. Michael Bennett is about the best off the field athlete in sports and…

So the Celtics are better offensively and overall without Isaiah Thomas? Hmm.

Name a similar example. And go.

They lost by 44 at home. They were dominated in the game prior to that, as well. They were now on the road. They were 17 point underdogs. They lost their only All-Star and the heart and soul of the team. They were playing against a top 3 player in NBA history on a mission and a team clicking on all cylinders. They…

Man, no one is defending people being assholes, but denying the reality of how rampant the use of “faggot” was as a slur growing up in our age range, does no one any service. I’m impressed with you if as a teenager you were able to see how wrong something was even if society, in general, accepted it. Most of us were…

Not gonna deny your experience, but I’m 33 and in middle school and high school “faggot” was probably the most common insult, especially in sports. That was a reality anywhere I went in the LA area.

It takes a special kind of intentional ignorance as a White man to not understand the simple concept of why Black people using the “n word” has no bearing on the acceptability of a White man calling a Black man “nigger.”

Goddamnit Rick Ankiel. Just retire already.
