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.

‘Knee goers’...ha ha ha...
Uh, his ‘correction’ made perfect sense...
‘Knee goers’ is racial slur...? Who knew...?
That was a pretty stupid comment from the Fire Chief. Stuff like that will get the libs claiming Trumpers are racist.
lol
And don't forget Michael Richards had his own little problem with the n-bomb...after 40 million blacks in the U.S. had already worn the word out...
