Something tells me 'carcker' is not eligible.

I stopped watching football twenty something years ago as the league became a haven of thugs. Now the corporate machine is pussyfying the place too.

When you are at war with someone, one of the tools you use is psychological warfare. Insulting someone can be very effective at taking them off their guard.

"Cracker" will be 5 yards

"White Devil" gets you a free extra point kick.

Since teams are mostly black there are going to be a lot of penalties.

Why would you care about something you haven't watched for 20 years?

Because it's about more than the NFL.

I don't know if this story is for real. But the NFL should think twice about instituting such a lame rule.

"Cracker" will be 5 yards

That'll be up to the 32 white owners in the NFL and the white commisionner

Would anyone else be able to use racial slurs in their workplace?

No wonder why the NFL has been successful

Ah there's the tank we all know and love

What a stupid ******* rule. If instituted every time the word is heard no team will ever score another touchdown.

Exactly.

Just because one throws and catches a ball for a very highly paid living doesn't mean they have to conduct oneself as if they live in the 1920s.

In the English Premiership, a player used a racial epithet and received an eight match ban.

In a related story, gosh darn, poopy pants, and cripes will only be a 5 yard penalty.

People are this upset about language? How about violence?! In my workplace if you tackle someone you go to jail!
