NFL: Fans Who Use Racial Slurs Will Be Banned

[IsailedawayfromFR]

After recent allegations of fans screaming the n-word at players, the league has come up with a plan to deal with spectators who use racial slurs: ban them.
The NFL is investigating the claims of Redskins receiver Terrelle Pryor, who claimed that a fan screamed the n-word at him multiple times during Monday night’s game in Kansas City. The slurs, according to Pryor, are what prompted him to turn around and yell, “F**k you!” at the fan.

NFL Spokesman Joe Lockhart reiterated that the league is investigating the Pryor incident. While reminding fans that they will face permanent bans for the use of any racial slurs.

According to Pro Football Talk, Lockhart said, “We are looking into all aspects of it and we will report back when we have concluded that review.

“We have no tolerance for racial comments directed to anyone. Those fans are not welcome to come back this week, next week, or any time.”

Of course, identifying and proving that a fan actually used a racial slur will be extremely difficult. Also there will be the temptation on the part of players to accuse heckling fans of using racial slurs, since they know they can get the fan removed.

I wonder if this is a one way street? 

If whites are banned for saying certain racial words, what are the racial words that will ban a black for saying to a white person?

If there are none given by the NFL, then this is 100% appeasement and totally racist.

Nahhh. No way.

Slurs of course being whatever the league defines it as. Applicable only to caucasians.

Go ahead with that, that will expand your customer and revenue base.

You know, an enterprising fan might want to attend a game with a long-distance microphone, get down close to field, and record what the players say to each other during a game... that might make for a really entertaining YouTube vid...   

Not that YouTube would let it stay up for very long.

I just passed on a chance to buy tickets to a game at the LA Coliseum between the New Lost Angeles Rams, and the San Francisco Giants, with whom this mess started.

As a devout "Deplorable," I am also "Irredeemable," since I have left the pro football plantation permanently.

See, I told you there were 'things we would agree about!

Forty-Niners......but we all knew what you meant.

Guessing the Eagles games will be totally empty of fans if this is the rule.

Evidence of successfully flushing football from my mind !!

Ain't that the damdest thing?

A business which is already facing declining revenue and audience, decides in their infinite wisdom to ban customers. Great idea.

ESPN the NFL, maybe the NBA, they have all decided to become BET. If they want only Blacks watching, OK. I know where I am not wanted. Good Luck with that, 15% of the population will love you. 85% of the population will say, Screw You!

What kind of accountant or marketing major, thought this was a good business decision? LOL!

Let um fall on their sword. I don't care. LOL

Don't be shocked, liberals run thriving businesses into the ground all the time.

Black players use the N-word on each other all the time,  will they ban them too?

Shades of Karl Rove's 'Where else are they going to go?'

Dropped all the normal ball games long ago, but...

NASCAR has been likewise FUBAR'd, though not with the racial tinge... It has wholly lost it's appeal.
Between PC and corporate image protections, it is not watchable.

Currently looking for another sport... playing with off-road dirt, which is still fairly authentic... but 'where else they gonna go?"... I'm already gone.

Rodeo



But expect a prayer, not just respect for the nation and our flag.

I'd be praying a lot too, if I worked that closely to angry bulls and bucking broncs.  Even the kids are tough, roping calves.

Ain't that a fact.
Unfortunately, due to many long years of same, my preferred method of watching rodeo is IRL, and behind the chutes. It just isn't the same on TV or from the grandstands.

In fact, my actual preferred method would be watching from the back of a bull or a saddle/bareback bronc. :)
Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that that particular form of exercise is no longer suitable for my aging frame.

Shoot, it's been so long that a plow horse shaking his giggles out would likely leave me in the dirt. 
I'd like a couple more roundups before I leave this world, but I am a looong way from it, right now.

Its funny. The NFL is treating their fan base as if they have no choice.

Seems like they're punishing their fans for mostly not backing them on their stupid political demonstrations.

Nah, of course not.


Liberals think of Black people as being semi-civilized monkeys. Black people are not expected to behave as civilized people. Naw, man, I is just be hangin' and doin' some shit man..


 Just the fact that they can speak English, instead of their uma-guma click-click language is considered to be a miracle.


Liberals do not expect anything from Blacks. If they manage to dress themselves and to show up for work once in a while is considered a victory for a Black person.


Special rules.
Special exceptions, (that would get any White person kicked out on their ass)
Special consideration


Black people are "special".

[IsailedawayfromFR]

I'd be praying a lot too, if I worked that closely to angry bulls and bucking broncs.  Even the kids are tough, roping calves.

Actually, at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the teens bulldog them to the ground instead of roping them.  It's fun to watch the calf scramble as they turn loose about 20 calves to be caught by perhaps 40 teens onto the entire football field.

The praying comes when the calf decides to fight and drags the kid around a bit.  The kid is praying the backside does not contain a kick or a dump at him.

I believe you hit on the ultimate test:  Will they throw out a black fan saying that to a black player?  If not, then I see a class action lawsuit that can certainly be won.

And that is the sad part of all of this.

The NFL, in its wisdom to do something that mitigates slurs, is relegating blacks into a class that has to be protected in order to be successful.

Not good for anybody, and simply reduces their stature as incompetent.

[240B]

You know the weird part of this is that there is no 'slang' word that would hurt a White person.


'Cracker' lol that just makes me laugh. "Whitey" (Obama's favorite word) hell yes I'm 'Whitey' and I'm damn proud of it.


But if you call a bleep a 'bleep', they get all outraged. Because they know it is true. And they hate themselves for it.

That is an excellent question.

Do you know what Chute Dogging is?

Kids Steer wrestling, but starting from the ground, in the chute, with the steer.  Smaller, younger steers of course, but at the High School level, they don't look small at all, maybe a year old.

You might be surprised at the injuries just from Barrel Racing.  Pushing a 1,000~1,200 lb horse to the limit of their ability to turn, stop and burst start is something else.  Looks far easier than reality.  My daughter has the scars and the surgery recovery, to demonstrate.

My daughter is going to do her first calf scramble next weekend.  She is a small frame at 5 foot nothing.  But she has the heart and will of a hungry Pro Linebacker.
