A flag and 15 yards for a slur

Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Or so we once thought.

America's schoolyards were tough places to play in the old days, where kids settled their arguments with skinned knuckles, bloody noses and a minimum of grown-up interference. But that was when the well-prepared scholar arrived for the first day of school with a Big Chief tablet, a clutch of Eberhard Faber No. 2 pencils, a bag lunch (if he could avoid the lunchroom), and an apple for the teacher. Now it's against the law to bribe a teacher, an iPad mini has replaced the Big Chief and most important of all, every kid needs his lawyer.

Never heard of anything so stupid in all my life. Rappers and black "comedians" use the N-word every other word out of their mouths, but it's considered "artistic expression", so no one says a word about it. They also talk (because that's all rapping is) about murdering cops and raping women, but once again they get a free pass because of the color of their skin. The rapper in chief invites these thugs to the White House where they have a sleep over in the Lincoln bedroom, eating all the fried chicken and chitlins they want because the first rapper just wants to be one of da brothas. George Washington is rolling over in his grave knowing this nothing is trying his best to destroy the country that the Founding Fathers fought and died for. And less not for that the first brotha flew the US Flags at Half Staff when a drug-addicted black singer died of a drug overdose, but completely ignored it when a former two-time American Ambassador passed away who also happened to be one of the world's greatest entertainers. This is the kind of low-class nothing this country elected, not once but twice. How much lower can we sink as a civilized society.

I really want to know if the black players will also be subject to this rule.

[MeshugeMikey]

Barry and company occupy a bottomless pit of evil and frivolity! and are bound and determened to share it with one and all.

" How much lower can we sink as a civilized society."

That's a DANGEROUS Question!

how abut "gay" basketball players demanding to wear Their Colors?

...the first brotha flew the US Flags at Half Staff when a drug-addicted black singer died of a drug overdose, but completely ignored it when a former two-time American Ambassador passed away who also happened to be one of the world's greatest entertainers.

Sickening.

Did he even order the flag fly at half-staff when Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed?

I really want to know if the black players will also be subject to this rule.

I would think not because when they say it it will not be "hate speech."

[who_would_fardels_bear]

The only thing good about punishing foul language at the line will be that the NFL might be able to live telecast the sound more loudly and clearly than they generally have in the past with less fear of offending audiences.

This might actually lead to making the games a bit more exciting.

There are lots of things that the players can say to each other to intimidate, threaten, or confuse their opponents without stooping to profanity.

[Moonman62]

Whites are a minority in the NFL.

[chris37]

Yeah, watching teams go backwards because someone said a naughty word would be so exciting I’d stop watching on Day One.

[JW1949]

Whites are a minority in pro sports other than hockey and golf....

[Berlin_Freeper]

Don’t they already have “unsportsmanlike conduct”?

[NKP_Vet]

Blacks dominate all professional sports except hockey and golf, in spite of compromising just 15% of the US population. But Jimmy the Greek gets fired for stating the obvious.

[RIghtwardHo]

I officiated high school and college basketball for a good many years. It was always a technical foul for this behavior. Quite frankly, I don’t see what the problem is.

[punditwannabe]

Since the concussion argument wasn’t stopping football , this surely will. It’s over folks. Sissify those macho dudes into something that won’t even resemble football, yuck!

Seems like ever since Baraq came on the scene, the national discussion is constantly about race. Everything is about race.

So what will happen if one player calls his opponent an ‘uneducated African-American’?

[Fiji Hill]

This crusade started as a way to eliminate what is primly called "the n-word" in pointed and polite discussions of the word, but has quickly morphed into a crusade against "the f-word" as well..."The f-word"...[refers] to "fag" or "faggot."

MiG-15, NATO code name--Faggot

[Colonel_Flagg]

The MIG-15 was code-named “Fagot”, not “Faggot”. According to militaryfactory.com and Merriam-Webster, the dictionary meaning is “a bundle of sticks”.

[tophat9000]

Faggot and Fascist come from the same Latin root word for a dry bundle of sticks...I say you just call them Fascist..it started as the same thing and has become the same thing
