A racist comment results in a weeks suspension. No biggie.
If there was nothing wrong with the comment he wouldnt have apologized.. twice.

As for italians. Yeah you guys can get pretty offended too even though I dont think italians/irish are even considered minority's anymore.

I think the proper (politically correct) phrase is McTalians... At least it is on the south side of Chicago..

Exactly, So why did he have to get suspended over something that didn't offend the person he was talking about? I understand what you mean about morons who actually mean to belittle people with their dumb ass comments but this is not one of them, IMO, and that is what I mean when I say I am sick of this Sh-t. Do you know what I mean? Should I be offended by the cannoli comment, Not as far as I am concerned but the PC police would be. I think it is just going to far.

Your right, I am not surprised just sick of it.

He was told to apologise or lose his job I'm sure. I am not easily offended and I take things the way they were meant and I don't think Griese meant it the way the bleeding hearts heard it......

I thought Montoya handled it with class. What he said was subtle but some of these divas (Griese in this case) don't like to think people are actually indifferent towards them. That bothers them more than the PC police ever could. Case over.

Me too. Life's too short to let some moron like that bother you. As a white male, there's nothing that can't be said about me. Listen to that idiot George Lopez, his whole shtick is making fun of the white race, but you won't hear anybody complaining about it on TV.

PC only goes one way and that's just not right.

That makes two comedians who're not funny.

The deal with Rush is a bit deeper than him being just an a-hole. What he said about McNabb actually bumped ESPN's ratings (= money). Shapiro (ESPN VP) even went so far as to defend Rush's statement, at the time. The latest fiasco involving Limbaugh and the NFL is all about Rush - and not the NFL. Limbaugh and his daily contrivence of self-efficating bull squat are something that the NFL, wisely, said they want no part of. Truly, capitolism exists and proves that money can buy oxy's but can't buy ya love.

One weeks suspensiion? What a crock of shit. Give at least a month and a $10,000 fine.

Just another TV asshole who thinks he's funny.

Are you on your period?

I even hate it that at work and other places they say HOLIDAY PARTY instead of CHRISTMAS PARTY. Look at the Calendar ! On December 25th it says CHRISTMAS day !!, not HOLIDAY day !! In this country we celebrate CHRISTMAS on December 25th, we shouldn't have to rename it so we don't hurt someone's feelings. I don't get that either. If your religion doesn't celebrate CHRISTMAS how is it bad for us to say CHRISTMAS party ?
