Freedom of speech? He needs to sue the school and get rich.

[mass 04]

I don't agree with what the dude said, but it's bullshit IMO. There's too much pc crap today. THe school was probably worried about it's own image.

Or run by the same sorts he's talking about.

Fuck that, whats said on the field stays on the field.
Whats said in the heat of battle isn't necessarily going to be pretty. Its football, not foosball.

[Fatpanda]

are black guys really that upset if someone calls them negro in the heat of the moment?

i bet 95% of the time its said just to hurt the black guys feelings and not because the person is racist.

its like calling someone fat, ugly or smelly.

p.s. honky has never and will never be an insult to me - i find it quite amusing.

[250goal]

They all call each other that.  Why can't a white man call them that.

Its true isn't it?  Are they a "Gringo"?  Are they a "chink"?  A "kike"?

I'd be more offended if someone called me something I wasn't.

Never understood it either.  It's like they are ashamed to be black.

LOL

[Fatpanda]

exactly - its only an insult if they let it be.

honkey is used in the same way - yet has never had the same effect, as whites do not find it offensive.

if blacks started seeing 'negro' the same way they would feel a lot beter about themselves.

they should be happy - they have 9" cocks, have great muscle genetics and never get a sunburn 

[250goal]

I'm guessing who's black and who's not with this topic.

LOL!!

i'm pretty sure the guy had his facebook thingy mabob that said " cmon hunters, theres guy in the white house"

so yea, it wasnt really a football thing

ohk, I just assumed it was football related

"It was revealed Thursday that the reasons for Burnette's dismissal stemmed from an inflammatory comment he wrote about Barack Obama on a public website."

Thats a very silly career move.

yea here was his apology

Clearly I have made a mistake and apologized for it and will pay for it. I received it as a text message from an acquaintance and immaturely put it up on facebook in the light of the election. Im not racist and apologize for offending you. I grew up on a ranch in a small town where that was a real thing and I need to grow up. I sincerely am sorry for being ignorant in thinking that it would be ok to write that publicly and apologize to you in particular. I have to be more mature than to put the reputation of my team at stake and to spread that kind of hate which I dont even believe in. Once again, I sincerely apologize.

[chaos]

Why should his personal opinion matter to his football career?


Lame.

[HTexan]

Freedom of speech? He needs to sue the school and get rich.

you have freedom of speech, not lack of responsibility for following school rules. If it is a rule in your team not to said N*****, don't post dumb shit on your facebook account.

[HTexan]

FYI  i voted form obama  . But, that is the lames obama joke i have ever heard. is it even a joke?

[D-bol]

they should remain White House into Black House now....

hey, no blaming me for racism, ok....i just couldn't resist the joke in the context of this thread:)

[webcake]

Are you saying that the presidents limo is now rollin along on 24 inch spinners and the fridge is fully stocked with grape drink?

no just paint half

[Mobil]

yes but im sure  half the team calls white men "white boys" what if i called black man "black boy".......no racism in that remark, right?

[HTexan]

yes it is, but they are not dumb enough to post it on facebook.

[Mobil]

yes it is, but they are not dumb enough to post it on facebook.

no, they openly say it like its acceptable where im from and from what i hear everywhere. where to me its a racist statement, but black people arent racist..... its as obama says "black anger" which makes its acceptable

[HTexan]

no, they openly say it like its acceptable where im from and from what i hear everywhere. where to me its a racist statement, but black people arent racist..... its as obama says "black anger" which makes its acceptable

any proof they said it openly? no, i thought not, word against word. Now writing it down can be proven.

[Mobil]

Dear world:  "Obama is a ni##er".  (only censored out of respect for Ron's board). 


Gee....  if I were a college football player, I'd be fucked. 




Truthfully, I don't care what color his skin is, he is a socialist who will fuck over this country.

honeslty... obama knows very little(i wanted a dem. to win over rep.), but the dem. are a change and i agree with putting obama in office. the rep. have had too much power. 8 years is long enough, you have to mix it up. "absolute power equals corruption" proven through history... that being said. even though obama knows very little its usually the pres. administration that calls the shots. the pres is only the speaker for them

[IFBBwannaB]

So every TV station questioning if he's a Muslim and thus assuming he's a terrorist is ok but some dude expressing what he thinks get him kicked out?

Now THAT'S racism vs white people freedom of speech!

[CQ]

Never understood it either.  It's like they are ashamed to be black.

No it's not, I personally am not ashamed to be black, and futhermore wouldn't want to be white in any way shape or form, and also don't know any black person that feels differently.
