Wait until you're suspended without pay for saying every day words.
I haven't either. I believe that it was a white band in country music who once said, "We all picked the cotton, but we never got rich." That lyric of course is from Alabama's "Song Of The South".I've never associated that phrase with racism.
Probably any time now, but since when do they have any real authority over the rest of us? If they don't want anything to do with certain things, I don't believe that they are being forced to.Remember this

The left is insane. How long before the left bans all cotton, no clothing, no sheets, towels, nothing not even paper.
I have read the OP's link very carefully.
I feel that Mr. Davis, the announcer, was very mature and professional in acknowledging that his use of that phrase was "insensitive."
And a one-game suspension seemed to be fair.
This country is very much divided and apparently becoming more divided every day when it comes to ethnicity, religion, gender, etc.
We all have to be super careful not to unintentionally hurt the feelings of other groups.
..no--he's a wimpy girly man for not standing up for what is right/fair/common senseI have read the OP's link very carefully.

A few years ago, two announcers were criticized for referring to an American athlete as an "Oriental." They claimed that they did not know that the word was now considered offensive. One of the last acts of the Obama administration was to forbid the word "Oriental" to be used in government documents.

..it wasn't insensitive .....good thing we didn't have people like you and him around in Dec 1941 ...you would cry for the Japanese
Yup, it is the same. A slave used to get a one-day suspension of pay for calling his owner a honkey.Ironic in that Davis is reacting as a virtual slave to PC.
So you admit to the hypocrisy.Yup, it is the same. A slave used to get a one-day suspension of pay for calling his owner a honkey.Ironic in that Davis is reacting as a virtual slave to PC.
