He sang a hip-hop song. Just curious but if the lyrics degraded women and he sang it, would he have been fired? how about if a "racial minority" degrades women? Or is that culturally appropriate? I can't keep track of the victimization in our landscape.

FTA: “Jans, a native of the Netherlands, told ESPN that he used the N-word during a training camp in Arizona while singing along to a hip-hop song. He said he was immediately pulled aside by defender Nick Hagglund, who told him that it was a cultural taboo for a white person to say that word in America.

“I always walk into the locker room and have some talks and there’s always music and I’m interested in music,” Jans told ESPN. “I also know a little bit about hip-hop songs and maybe I do impulsive things. Sometimes I like to show that I’m interested in that culture and support people against any kind of discrimination and even racism. I hate it. But I did a clumsy thing and I realized that and I apologized for when I hurt people’s feelings. But it wasn’t addressed to someone. It wasn’t in bad intention.”

The guy is Dutch. Did he even understand what that was?

Certain people have to go through life as immature, childish babies. Others grow up.

He shouldn’t be singing songs about black people like that. He should have played it safe, and sung something like Elvis Costello’s “Oliver’s Army”.

How many black players were singing along? He should have said he was identifying as his idol, St. Skittles, and called the first Caucasian reporter a creepy a$$ cracker.
