Fire chief directs racial slur at Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on Facebook
A.J. Perez, USA TODAY Sports Published 1:48 p.m. ET Sept. 26, 2017 | Updated 1:49 p.m. ET Sept. 26, 2017

A fire chief in a town outside Pittsburgh targeted a racial slur at Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin on Facebook over the team’s decision stay in the locker room for the national anthem on Sunday.

Paul Smith, the chief of Cecil Township Volunteer Fire Station No. 2, wrote: “Tomlin just added himself to the list of no good (n------). Yes I said it.”

Smith’s use of the slur drew a rebuke from officials in Cecil, a town located about 20 miles southwest of Pittsburgh.

There is actually an unscientific poll on this web page concerning the controversy. Maybe people want to TBR the poll.

Fireman Smith shoulda known better than to think a guy of his shade was free to use that word.

Some people aren't smart enough for Facebook. Yes, I said it.

People really get emotional over issues....what he said is unacceptable but I do see how people often get very passionate over their concerns, sports is right up there.

He, Paul Smith, resigned, updating the story.

Of course he did.   Only blacks & liberals can use that word which they do all the time.
Fools mock, tongues wag, babies cry and goats bleat.

Daily Caller or one of those websites, ran an article that Tomlin was involved in Hillary's campaign, so that has him in the doghouse with me. I did defend him to an extent.
