...under ANY circumstances?

What if a black player called another black player that?

What if a black player "affectionately" used this term with his own black teammate? i.e. "Good shot N....."

What if a black player called a white player "Honkey" or "Cracker"?

What if a white player used the term with his own white teammate? i.e. "Good shot Honkey"?

A lot of "what ifs"...

If I've said it once...I've said it a thousand times...
"It's not WHAT they say...it's HOW they say it."

Just my personal philosophy and opinion on the subject.

(POP! wiggle, wiggle, wiggle...the sound of a can of worms)

Oh Boy. Here we go. Where's Rut.
I'd bet my Seahawks vs. Steelers Super Bowl Tickets, (if I had any), that JRut wouldn't necessarily give a kid 2 T's for using racial slurs. He might give 1 T...he might give a good talking to the players...but, flagrant ejection? I don't think he would say it is automatic.

We'll see...
