Oh please. Kobe called a ref a homophonic slur on live TV and nobody cared. Two players earlier this season were bashing Jewish people to the point of saying they don’t matter.

Meyer’s is a big goofy white guy who chose to stand to honor his brother and those KIA during the anthem so that makes him a target for the White Guilt Woke Mob. It’s a word. People are such babies these days.

So its okay to offend other ethnicities because he stood up to honor his brother?

They are not correlative. He doesn't get a pass because of his color or what else he stands for.

And "nobody cared" about what Kobe said? I did. So you don't get to tell me I didn't care.
 
He used a word that was instilled in him. As a person. It doesn't matter if it impacts you personally or not, he made the cognitive choice to say that word. Its a part of who he is.

End of story.

The league has spent the past year immortalizing a player (Kobe) who used a homophobic slur against a referee in a nationally televised game, so spare me the overreaction now.

This is the classic garbage response to things like this. It comes in several forms, but it's all the same: they did it first, so this doesn't count; that is worse, so this doesn't count; no one reacted to that, so you can't react to this; blah blah blah.

I was very “fortunate” because at a very young age I had a grandfather that taught me each and every “proper” word to call someone who was not white (or Catholic/Protestant). Fortunately, at a young age I knew very clearly that my grandfather was one of life’s true assholes. So the words never stuck. Monkey doesn’t always do what monkey sees.....or hears.

Welcome to the Bigot Revolt! You tell 'em, brother! No one cared then, why we care now? Yee-fucking-haw!

Based on most message board demographics, I’m assuming everyone in this thread complaining about the word aren’t even personally impacted by it and are almost all White people.

Odd thing to say. You're suggesting only black people should care about slurs against black people, only Jews should care about slurs against Jewish people, etc?

Or is this some attempt at the silly canard that minorities don't even mind slurs, it's just overactive white liberals that care about slurs?

Well, if there's one group who's gonna care about a racial slur, it's the white liberals :devilwink:

I’m 62, know it’s a slur against Jewish people and have no idea what it literally means.

I'm soon to be 67 and most ethnic slurs like the ones I heard in Viet Nam probably had no meaning at all...just derogatory terms....same with others including the slur they called us Irish....doesn't make sense literally but it stuck.

Yeah I heard this term growing up in the 70’s a handful of times, and I guess put it in the category like what you listed and never bothered to ask what it means if it means anything.
 
For those wondering what it means, it's derived from the Hebrew word kikel-- meaning "circle"--based on the tendency of Jewish immigrants to sign their entry paperwork with circles rather than X's (eschewing the X because it could also be perceived as representative of the Christian cross).

interesting...thank you for that bit of info....I had no idea but figured it was derived from Hebrew.
I'm pretty sure Mick for the Irish came from Ellis Island potato famine immigrants when many of the Irish had Mc in front of their name like McCartney, McConnell, etc...many dropped the Mc and just became...Connell etc..never understood how the British came up with the term Frogs for the French....

Are you saying he’s lying? He may not have as extensive a racial slur vocabulary as you do.

It’s a bullshit, generic, made up PR apology. Almost word for word what I knew he’d say. He’s 30 and knows what it means. Who says words like that, when angry or frustrated, and thinks it means something other than a bad/negative/derogatory term? Apologizing for him is pathetic and I’m frankly sickened anyone would try to. Posts that do, can fuck the right off.

Better than I thought. His PR person is on point. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that he believes what's said in that statement. Let him learn from what could be a very costly mistake and move on.

Which is what I meant about wanting more details, unlike the mob in this thread who strike first as mobs going on partial information always do.

It’s not like Meyers has some long history of bigotry that means he shouldn’t be given the benefit of the doubt.

I figured he had no clue what it meant. Bunch of white nerds got all upset on this board about it, though.

You think he wrote that? Hahahahahahahaha.

I'm sorry you got played. He knew what he said.

The fact you think he didn't know what the word meant. Thats not a word that people don't know the meaning of and just say it... at 30.

So now you’re calling him a liar based on your own personal feelings and ability to read minds. There’s a word for people like you.
