I agree with your comment. Of course the Nuggets don't have a policy of racism that Issel was reflecting. However, we stand for what we tolerate. For a comapny to take no action against an employee in a case like this does state that the firm tolerates this type of behavior.

From M1991's reply:On Wednesday, Issel apologized for his remarks and received a four-game suspension

Issel was punished.

On another point regarding O'Reilly's interview with Estevan from Captianpaintballs's post:O'Reilly asks him if giving 250 thousand dollars would be enough to make amends. Flores says "Eyeeee theeenk that would be starting to go down the right track... Would 750,000 shut him the hell up?

I thought O'Reilly's question and this answer reveals the real reason for the outcry.
