West Virginia University (WVU) head men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins has had his salary reduced $1 million per year, given a three-game suspension and will be required to participate in sensitivity training following his “abhorrent” comments made while appearing on a Cincinnati radio show on Monday.

After his appearance, Huggins apologized and admitted there was no excuse for his hurtful language.

Before his docked pay was announced on Wednesday, Huggins’ annual salary was due to be $4.15 million before incentives, according to a school spokesperson.

It was not a good idea for Coach to express his frustration with Xavier fans by using the term "f_g"...Yes, he makes a lots of money...But, he still has to follow orders from the school administration...

Punishment for Coach is too much? I think the punishment is too much...I think the apology is good enough...

The school athletics director stated that Coach will be fired if he makes another inappropriate comment...I read that in some other article...

Normally, if they do that, it means he’ll probably be fired within the next few weeks.

His rant was actually attacking Catholics, but it looks the Enemy Media has ignored that part completely.

Yet they can trash conservatives all they want and escape punishment! Their unfairness goes up to one trillion!

I find the constant slur of “white supremacy” to be highly offensive and hurtful. First of all because it hardly exists but most of all because it automatically directs crime and violence against those with the wrong skin color.

He draws the state’s largest paycheck.
He is the nation’s winningest active coach.
That three game suspension will prolly be served at the beginning of the season, not during conference play.

At his age Bob should have known better than to grovel. These people just like to watch others bleed. When conservatives grovel, kiss ass, and beg forgiviness the left is only emboldened. Never, NOT ONCE has a lefty accepted an apology from anyone and they will NEVER do it.

When every conservative realizes that, we will begin to fight back. Now Bob has lost a cool million AND his self respect and dignity.

So the fact he used a slur against homosexuals equals a 3 game suspension and a $1MM fine..

The fact he basically insulted every single Catholic (which is who he was directing his insults at) that’s irrelevant. God Bless America.

There is an unforgiveable sin in the USA. It’s not mass murder, or poisoning Tylenol, of blowing up an orphanage. Those can be forgiven, especially if they kill only White male normalsexuals. It’s saying certain words.
