NFL Considers Penalties for N-word and F-word

[Discotrish]

The Now Flaming Liberal organization that runs group therapy sessions and hosts an occasional football game is considering handing out penalties for players who use those words during games. (I actually had to read further into the article to see what f-word they were referring to.)

CBS DETROIT – As the NFL considers banning the use of the n-word among its players, some wonder whether the f-word, a slang term for a homosexual, will be far behind.

Terry Foster, 97.1 The Ticket radio show host and a longtime Detroit News sportswriter, said he believes the NFL will crack down on both slurs simultaneously, especially since the league expects to have its first openly gay player, Michael Sam, coming into the league for the 2014 season.

“The whole n-word banishment has more to do with getting rid of the f-word,” Foster said, “because now you may have your first openly gay player, and they know if they don’t do something, he’s going to be called that name. He may not like it. They don’t want to see this.

NFL May Ban F-word along with N-word

How about the offensive term "Redskin" ?

How about if somebody calls another player a Polack?

How about the offensive term "Redskin" ?

Redskin referred to war paint worn by "Indians" (note offensive incorrect terminology, Clevelanders!), not anyone's actual skin color.

This is just stupid. What the players say on the field is their business. If another player doesn't like it then he can settle it himself.

I think the guy at the bottom of the pile should utter one of these words and blame the other team.

Then we will need Instant Audio Replay with voice analysis.
