Jurassic..at NO time did I tell you that you had to adhere to my opinion, so Ill accept your apology for that statement, and Ill put it in terms that you will be able to DISCUSS rather than ATTACK. I PERSONALLY cannot STAND "the N word" but it is NOT up to ME entirely as to how its accepted on the court because MY standards are NOT the only ones that are in the decision making process. Example..this fall at our football meeting we were told that "the N word" used between teammates WILL BE a flag, but no ejection. If it (or any other slur) is used AT AN OPPONENT, it is a flag and an EJECTION. Do I AGREE with that decision (not really), will I abide by it? Yes. THAT IS ALL IM SAYING..SOMETIMES YOU ARE FORCED TO PUT ASIDE YOUR PERSONAL PREFERENCE IN THAT PROCESS..other times you have leeway. Most of us come from different backgrounds, but all of us need to realize that OURS may not always matter.

I will repeat something I mentioned earlier. This is NOT the first time this topic has come up..why are some people ATTACKING rather than discussing? it always seems to be the same crowd..deeper issues?
