Since we’re talking about the Sooners, the shameful word that can’t be said was probably “defense”
Oh good grief. He read aloud from some kid’s iPad, and the kid had the n-word on that iPad. And now this coach is busy groveling. The n-word is offensive to black people when it’s hurled at them as an insult or used to describe them.

There is no way a single word, read at random off a player’s iPad justifies resigning his position. There is something more to this story.
Why didn’t she call the police and have the player charged with a Racist Hate Crime? I would have
“One particular word that I should never — under any circumstance — have uttered was displayed on that screen. In the moment, I did not even realize what I was reading and, as soon as I did, I was horrified.”
The word must have been, “Texas.”
