OT: new NFL rule will penalize players 15 yards for using N-word

[FireDavidKahn]

Good. Get rid of double standards.

What a ****ing joke. I also hate when people use the phrase n-word. Everyone knows what you're trying to say, and it's not like it's any less "bad" to say to someone. Call someone a n-word is just a racist and 100 more cowardly.

When have you ever heard somebody call someone "n word"?

[sd3035]

I hope that includes black players saying n1gga

[NattyPButter]

The n*gger rule?

only problem is only racist whites say it that way.

[kNIOKAS]

Way to ruin the game, but it has to start somewhere, right.


The notion that there is a word that is inappropriate to use depending on your skin colour is ridiculous.

Cowardly? It takes balls to call someone else the n-word to their face.

What happens when they drop the "B" word that rhymes with witch. Or when somebody calls somebody a "C" word that sounds like runt. Or the "F" word that sounds like maggot. So we cant use the "N" word but allnother words are cool.

[sd3035]

what about negro?

[ImKobe]

INB4 a team loses/wins a game thanks to this stupid rule and the entire league is in outrage when a white ref penalizes a black player for saying the N word.

Considering the bad PR from the Incognito/Martin situation, this was expected.
You need to look like you are trying to be proactive in order to avoid/mitigate Martin's future lawsuit.

Same reason the NFL is doing all of those rules to avoid contact to the head.

Worst rule ever....actually racist since it only affects 1 race of players...
