Saw that former OU running back Joe Mixon commented on situation, basically

Mixon was suspended an entire year for that incident

I agree but losing your job and getting kicked off the team are comparable

If he wanted to, yes.

Had not heard that, but to me seems hard to believe this was solely his choice

John Gruden’s career is over because of words.

Well... And he wasn't good

But he was a good commentator, and that career is also over for now.

As a society, IMHO, we have given the word way too much power. It is awful and I

Real time racism.

Meh. No one needs to say that word. It’s no right or privilege. You’re no victim

It's a quote from Animal Farm by George Orwell

Sparkling Delirium

No one is entitled to a job. Upset the employer bad enough and you lose it.

canofpicante

I, myself, think it's disgusting to associate that word with a particular race

rcbyufan

8/8/22 3:39pm

You’re advocating that it be used more broadly?

Not sure about the "meh," but I concur in full with your whole header.

How many here would "accidentally" read that word aloud to a group?

I honestly don't see it happening unless it was a word you already used.

I'm not disagreeing. Would you read the 'f' or 'c' words out loud? Of course I

The “word” has over 300 years of negative history in this country.
