FULL TITLE: Fire chief calls Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin a 'no good N*****' after his team stayed in the locker room during the national anthem
A Pennsylvania fire chief called Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin a 'no good N*****' on Facebook after the team refused to stand for the national anthem before Sunday's game.
'Tomlin just added himself to the list of no good N******. Yes I said it,' Muse Fire Department chief Paul 'Smitty' Smith wrote in the comment section of an article about the Steelers' protest.
Smith has since told Pittsburgh's Channel 11 that he was 'embarrassed' by his comment.
'I want to apologize. I was frustrated and angry at the Steelers not standing for the anthem. ... This had nothing to do with my fire department. I regret what I said.'
A volunteer firefighter with over 23 years of experience, according to the Muse Fire Department website, Smith's comment was revealed to Channel 11 by his fellow Washington County (Pa.) fire fighters who were uncomfortable with his use of a racial slur.
'The Cecil Township Board of Supervisors is deeply disturbed by the comments made by volunteer Chief Smith, and in no way, shape or form condone his comments,' the township manager told Channel 11.

Oh, he’s a Democrat.
Democrats can get away with using the N-word, just look at Robert Byrd (D-KKK).
I retract my last post. Wrong person.
Rhymes with ‘gold digga’... I’m just saying.
He should have said “colored” or “negro.” Then when the media jumped all over him he could have said that’s exactly what Martin Luther King called himself and others of his race. That’s exactly how they all referred to themselves till about 45 years ago when “pastor” Jesse Jackson got on his Afro-American train, which as morphed into “black.” As far as the N word it’s been used as slang for hundreds of years, mostly by blacks themselves.

Who cares? All this race crap is a one way street.
Or he could have left racial slurs out of it entirely and just called the Steelers coach an idiot or something similar.
Most valuable advice I can think of is to think twice before speaking, three times before tweeting, and four times before posting. If more people did that there would be fewer careers ending abruptly.
He had the right. But he didn’t have the ability.
How do they ‘fire’ a volunteer? Probably cause enough to keep him.
Saying -igger is one thing, acting like a -igger is another.
heh, heh. We see what you did there.
Everyone has the right to be a jerk. But it does have a way of coming back and biting you.
“...I’m sure Tomlin will defend the Chief, because after all he believes in the sanctity of free speech...”
We really need to restart the old Hippie Free Speech Movement of the ‘60s. But this time we’ll use this era’s prohibited thoughts and words...
Affirmative Action Kills
Statistically, nine Whites are murdered by Colored boys for every Colored murdered by Whites.
Obama was the first ever half-White-Trash President.
Yes.. I am guessing that he makes nothing to risk life and limb to fight fires while the object of his sentiments makes millions per year coaching grown men playing a kid’s game.
His exercise of free speech will cost him his job. NFL players doing the same thing will cost nothing.
I thought this is all about free-speech.
Morons all around, very nice.
“Can’t say the N word. He should have called him and his crew Knee goers.”
actually that’s Knee grows. Is that not right Sotonation?
