For what it's worth, here is his recollection of the happenings. I highly recommend reading.

The playoffs are a sprint, not a marathon!
I appreciate you have a different opinion but you have not made anything clear. You state that there is a context in which you can use terms like these and it would be socially acceptable yet outside of you speaking to your friends you have failed to come up with any clear example of context in which you could use these terms and it be socially acceptable.
I really appreciate that you are open minded and can brush off these things. Not many can and that's where the problem is. Just because you can doesn't mean others can or should be required to do so. They have their right to feel offended as much as you have your right to brush it off and not care.
...and one of them because he removed himself from the play entirely.
I don't want to go all the way out to my car in 2 feet of snow.
Red Velvet is more consistent and can out last Ice cream cake in longer events. Cheesecake is just so strong and durable, hard to beat that.

Just because it happens doesn't mean that I think it should...
But my point is an industry that distributes billions of dollars annually to its participants probably shouldn't be tax-exempt, especially since most stadiums are built using tax dollars.
Actually I think the worst of all the sports is from the PGA. I read somewhere that all of their tournaments are considered to be charities.
....and the executives of the bowl games in college football that are "non-profits" also make a pretty penny. Some as much as $2 mil a year plus perks.
Maybe the problem isn't that they aren't taking it out of context, but that your perception of what is acceptable is out of whack.
Why would you even think to add 'nigga' to "good game"? Why can't it just be enough to say "good game". You keep falling back on "well, I speak like that to my friends, so its not racist". In my opinion, thats a very narrow mindset. Just because its not racist to you doesn't mean that it isn't racist to others, especially those who might overhear those conversations.

I think anyone who thinks it's a good idea to climb over a wall to get after a hockey player in full pads whose job description is essentially to beat people up deserves whatever they get as a result of said idea.
I vehemently disagree with you, but I've already made my points very clear. I don't feel like continuing this on a TKP forum post so I'm done. But my point that context matters the most stands. If someone calls me a terrorist and it was as a joke I don't care at all.
French, I have a feeling you would love a visit to where I work - Lancaster County, PA - for an indulgence into the world of Amish Pies.
They are quite good.
"talk shit get hit" I tend to agree with you. There have been quite a few hockey related fan interactions, but this was probably the most entertaining example. But I do believe that there is a difference between trash talking a guy in his 30s who is a known "enforcer" in a contact sport and talking to a college student who is playing for the joy of the game.
I'm ready. Just went out and bought 10 cans of maroon paint. Now when the batteries run out I can #allmarooneverything in order to stay sane.
man, just because you don't find it racist or offensive doesn't mean others don't. Derrick Hopkins is going to rip you in half because he finds it offensive no matter you used the work in proper context or not. The thing you don't understand is that context doesn't negate the racial underpinnings of these terms. If anything it emboldens people to keep using racist words without the understanding that these terms are racist no matter its use or context.
I know that second highlight wasn't a form tackle, but I still love how he changed directions, avoided the block from the wide receiver, and kept the running back out of the end zone despite his forward momentum at that point. Also, nice to see him not leading with his head on big hits like that.
I really have no idea if you are being serious or trolling but ok...
Precisely as the topic of this thread depicts the use of imagery for logos and mascots can be found offensive because it is a comical caricature of the real thing. And for Native Americans a thing they are immensely proud of. To be the first NFL player that is openly gay takes huge amount of courage. Stating that he can be a mascot is liken to calling him a joke.
uhhhhhh I wouldn't be so sure with the rain, it depends where the freezing line, I'm sticking with my guns though of 9-11" this last model run is a little ambitious for me but if it works out.... ill eat my words and worship the overlords of the euro. Seriously if this thing winds up being like 20" I want to meet the makers of the euro and shake their hands/give them the biggest man hug of all times.
As for the DC area id predict snow, its gonna be close but we'll go with a healthy 5-6" when all is said and done, possibly a chance of ice... your weathermen are being silly if they're just saying straight rain it will update shortly my friend just informed me that the NWS just released their forecast....5-10" which seems to me like they're trying to cover their butts if it still misses, however they're basically guaranteeing that we get hit by something. I'd favor the higher end of that forecast
This evening the aforementioned prospect weighs in on his stance in reply to said debate of cake v. pie.
Yea, but the executives at a lot of charities make a lot of money. I think the head of the Red Cross makes over $500,000.
This will be the first and last time I ever post a link of a Total Frat Move article on TKP, but this article deserves it.
