...Parcells said about quarterbacks coach Sean Payton and defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. "Mike wants the defense to do well, and Sean, he's going to have a few ... no disrespect for the Orientals, but what we call Jap plays. OK. Surprise things."What always makes me laugh about incidents like this is that it was supposedly wrong for Parcells to utter the word "Japs" because it's considered a racial slur, but then the media turns right around and prints this very same word in it's newspapers and on it's websites. If it's a racial slur to use the word "Japs", then the media, by using the word "Japs" in it's coverage of the Parcells incident, is using a racial slur.

'Jap plays' is offensive. Please refer to them as 'Japanese plays'.It is also offensive to say Brits. Everybody please say British instead.

Tuna MUST be held accountable for his racial remarks!The NFL would have PR nightmares by the thousands if every NFL coach and player were quoted accurately. No wonder they pressured ESPN to drop "Playmakers".
At least Tuna conducts legal practices. The "Gints" have a lot to prove after the way they quit last year.
I'm a life-long Raiders fan that lives about 3/4 mile from the Cowboys complex. I'm rooting for the Tuna, because I'm looking to sell in a year, and there's plenty of Cowboy fans that want to live in Valley Ranch.

Certainly a vegeterian slur, not a doubt of it.
And, whooooooooooo the bleep cares? The NFL needs MORE ''Jap'' plays, not fewer; it's become disgustingly predictable for 90%+ of the game and the games.
Imagine, for example, even a gimpy Warner in the same backfield as Michael Vick -- what havoc might THAT pair wreak, eh, with a bit of imagination on the coaches' parts (well, given a couple of better receivers, too...)?

Maybe Parcells should've called them "f***ing Jap plays" a la Hillary Clinton.
Apparently using an adjective cancels the offending nature of the remark.

Bill Parcells apologized Monday for calling the surprise plays used in practice "Jap plays," saying the remark was inappropriate. That was a wise apology, but I don't think his subsequent comments that the NFL was going to "Jew me out of $25,000" helped his case.
To: Bogey78O
He really got nipped on that one.
If the team ever wants to be niggardly they could cite this as a reason to fire him and save some cash.
But I don't see the Cowboys as a team to welsh on a tab.
They can probably use this as an excuse to jew him out of several thousand.

The Japanese are offended at other people being RACIST ?
Somewhere the chutzpah factor has gone down since it's been sucked into Japan.
