The word is just an excuse. People who get violent over a word are actually violent people just waiting for a reason to exert those behaviors.
The ironic thing is that they don't want to be stereotyped, but that one word unleashes a torrent of stereotypical behaviors. Its uncanny. [Reply]
Having partied with a bunch of big ass behemoths like Garrett, it's surprising how many people thought they could take one of them in a fight. More than once I have seen alcohol get dudes with big egos in trouble.

Of course the white guy is going to claim that he didn't use the n-word. It becomes a he said/she said situation. Who's telling the truth?
Yes, a coach traditionally will back up his players. Tomilson says everyone he talked to that was near enough to hear spoken words says that the n-word wasn't used. Most were black. I cant see teammates and a coach that are black covering for a white backup QB using the n-word. That carries some weight with me.
Teammate or not, I don't see these very large Type A men tolerating a white guy using the n-word in their presence, [Reply]

You MAY be correct. However, he is correct in stating that a repulsive word is no reason to run the risk if permanently harming, disabling or(yes, not a probability but a possibility) killing someone. We've all heard/said, "Sticks and stones..." and it's truer today than ever. Walk away.
Possibilities in RL:
1) You hit someone and nothing else happens
2) You hit someone and get arrested
3) You hit someone, they fall and get permanently disabled (very possible)
4) You hit someone, they fall down, and in falling hit their head on something and die.
5) You hit someone, they pull out a Glock and shoot you dead.
4 outta 5 are possibilities I want to avoid. Walk away. Fighting is only merited in self defense. Being an athlete on the field doesn't absolve you of this logic. [Reply]
