Creighton men's basketball coach Greg McDermott apologized Tuesday for racially insensitive comments he made to his players following a loss to Xavier last week.
"On February 27th, after an emotionally tough loss on the road, I addressed our student-athletes and staff in the postgame locker room and used a terribly inappropriate analogy in making a point about staying together as a team despite the loss," McDermott said in a statement released via Twitter. "Specifically, I said: 'Guys, we got to stick together. We need both feet in. I need everybody to stay on the plantation. I can't have anybody leave the plantation.'

“I need everybody to stay on the plantation. I can’t have anybody leave the plantation.”
Would “reservation” have been better or worse?

What an idiot. He should have said “ I need everybody to stay on the reservation”. That’s an old American saying.
Oh, wait. That won’t work anymore. It might offend Elizabeth Warren.
However, this might work: “I need everybody to stay on a generic, unnamed location.” Yep, that’s the ticket.
He ain’t in high cotton now!
The Woke are useless and worthless.
Maybe he should have made a reference to Hee Haw.
Oh you snowflakes. Jesus Christ, get over yourselves. A clumsy metaphor is not a reason to dump your coach. A terrible record is. For the record, the Blue Jays are in the thick of things for a March Madness entry.
He'd be in big heap of trouble if he said that.
Well, there goes his career.
Everyone of the babies on the team would be crying if they were subjected to one of Bobby Knight’s tirades back in the ‘80s.
“We crackers all need to stay in the same box!”
Yup. I miss the 80’s. The faggots were scared of going out for fear of ridicule and getting their asses kicked. Now we have to placate these poofters..
The humanity!!!
I think an execution is in order, perhaps hanging or firing squad
Did he call them “dudes”?
It’s Omaha.
Lots of issues with saying “Reservation”.
A few of my early fights as a young and stupid man were over such comments. Then the offended party and I typically got drunk together and joked about how our great grandfather’s probably shot at each other.
In today’s USA, every word is a racial trap. No matter what you say, someone will take it as racist/sexist/homophobe/dickslicerophobe/ etc.
And you have no recourse.
Should have said “White House”.
OOPS!
Now will be “Black House”
