So we can look forward to NFL suspensions for any players caught with a gangsta rap music playing in their Escalades.

I have a feeling that they will be exempted. Black players will be able to use it and the white ones that do will be penalized. Just like in public. Go Naggers!

I think that had a lot to do with it off the field wise but I think it was more to do with this one.

Whatever happened to context?

I think most modern women have switched to tampons.

How about instead of policing the fucking language of the players they police all the felons, sexual assaults, and animal torturers in the NFL?

Finally an excellent post from you, couldnt agree more

I did hear it does not just apply to the N word but at the ref's discretion other slurs as well.

It would almost exclusively punish blacks.

Riley Cooper was caught using the N word while out partying.

This is stupid: penalize taunting if you wish....regardless of what is said.

I think the players association is gonna have a revolt on it's hands. Once players hear they can't say "nigga", it's like depriving them of their main source of communication....it won't stand.

man I swear to God I would have paid a thousand bucks to see Cooper when that story broke. Can you imagine the locker room and what not? That dude had to have been walking on egg shells for months.

I bet it still haunts him, and he probably doesnt have many friends in his locker room,nor will he in any locker room he ends up in. itll haunt him for life. Hed have been better off punching a chick in terms of how hes viewed around the league.

Would be the dumbest rule ever in the nfl.not condoneing the use of the word but are they gonna ban all types of racist words not just 1?

miktoxic

i doubt if this rule sees the light of day.

ridiculous.

It's so fucking gay. Quit fucking crying about him saying the N word. All he has to say it, sorry it slipped, I listen to rap music. Big fucking deal, I'm sure if you video enough black players you'll hear them say cracker or honkey or even white devil plenty.. lol this is fucking dumb. It's just a fucking word. Freedom of speech motherfuckers.

can black people say it on the field and white people cant?

I believe it was put in place because black dudes were throwing it around. I doubt it was an issue where white dudes were throwing it around at a job where almost all of your coworkers are black and able to potentially end your career.

I don't like this at all.This has no bearing on the outcome of the game.If they ban that they should penalize the words cracker,honky,and white boy as well.

You're right. As white people, we are the REAL victims of racism.

But stay classy everyone... Let's defend the "N" word.
