"He called his team’s fans “cigarettes”? Damn."
Yes, but some of them were fruity fags...
(On the other hand, a good cigar is a smoke.)

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.

“Before his docked pay was announced on Wednesday, Huggins’ annual salary was due to be $4.15 million before incentives...”
I guess they’re going to have to cancel Christmas in the Huggins household now, and probably switch to eating spam and cans of beans for the rest of the year now.
Exactly right. The use of the F word is only camouflage.
‘It was not a good idea for Coach to express his frustration with Xavier fans by using the term “f_g”...’
I have to admit, when they clog up the train platforms during rush hour when I am trying to get home, I call them “Cubs f*gs”.
That’s pretty gay
You can’t say ‘faggot’ now? who knew?
Sensitivity training..
For a college basketball coach.. at the age of 69.
If they play this right, they can sell tickets to fans and boosters who want to be in the same session..
Coach actually criticized the fans of a rival team...
This is possibly a 14th Amendment (14A) case. But there isn't enough information in the article to conclude that imo.
"14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Note that UC Berkeley lost a 14A case awhile back, although I wouldn't be surprised if taxpayers ultimately paid the settlement.

“Words matter”
What he may be really THINKING” is “money matters”
I am not sure what Coach Huggins' political views are...
In any case, he really wanted to keep his job...I don't blame him...The job does pay well...He may never get another coaching job that pays well like the WVU job...
Bob Huggins has been the whipping boy for leftist scum administrators his entire career. My blood still boils when I think how he was ran out of Cincinnati. He’s hall of fame, as much money as he could ever spend and not the healthiest. Here’s hoping he tells them to take their woke BS and stick it. The man deserves his retirement and woke free Lake Erie fishing.
All this would have gone away if WLW had been quicker on the dump button.
Yes, "words matter". Let's take "homophobia", for example. Is the coach really, truthfully AFRAID of homos? No. Doubt it. If he had any balls, whatsoever, he'd sue them for slander or libel. But, unless the word supposedly hurts someone's little feelers, words seldom matter. Hell, most American youth don't even know the difference between the words "then" and "than"! Their teachers are too preoccupied with fake pronouns.
So he’s being punished under Canadian law.
Shouldn’t he get some of that money back for bashing Catholics?
Huggy is 69 for goodness sakes. It’s not like he’s destitute and one step from the streets. He could retire with dignity and simply do something else, he certainly has job prospects.
Did his comment indicate that he was in fear of homosexuals?
A derogatory remark could indicate animosity towards homosexuals, it could indicate disdain for homosexuals, it could mean he simply does not like them. But it does not indicate fear. Thus the remark could not be classified as homophobic . Somebody should show a dictionary to all these people with their phobic crapola.
You believe Huggins is a conservative?
