Is it alright if you say “That comment was R-Word”.
You may have found the question retarded but many of us saw your teammate’s action as ghetto....
BTW, LeBron, your Mom and Delonte still throwing down?
So, if a fully-functioning journalist asks a stupid question, and someone responds "That's retarded" -- exactly who jumps to the thought that people with special needs have just been insulted??
For my money, the people who are PC are the people who are quickest to engage in the type of thought that they themselves despise.
That’s retarded.
The word “retarded” has legitimate descriptive use. It refers to something that has not met it’s full growth potential.
It can be used callously, crudely, as an insult, or as a put down, but it is not a word that exists outside of a real meaning that is clearly defined.
I hate political correctness for the damage it has done to language and communication. It’s ridiculous and retards the vocabulary of people.
Because it's James, though, I hope the PC police lynch him. Metaphorically, of course.
“Retarded” means mental or physically delayed. So if you think a question is retarded, then its deficient of intellectual response.
Makes sense to me.
LeBron is still a thug, but this is ridiculous with how we’ve watered down the language.
Do you think Lebron would quietly accept anyone else’s use of the “N” word? It is blacks who promoted the use of politically correct speech, now they can live with it.
A simple response of, “Is that a ^serious^ question?” directed to the simpering media beotch would have been sufficient.
These guys need media consultants (I’m available...)
Well maybe James is just niggardly with his vocabulary...
What a sad commentary on society and pro sports and the media today..
