That's kinda irrelevant anyway though because the coach got thrown for making a racial comment, not for what he might be. Iow, he was penalized solely for his actions, and rightfully so imo.
I'm saying the Asst Coach calling the official a bigot doesn't mean the Asst Coach is a racist or a bigot. It just means he has a big mouth. He may have any number of motivations for saying that other than his own personal bigotry.

Calling someone a bigot doesn't make you a bigot. If it does, then you're a bigot, because you just called the coach a bigot. And I guess I'm a bigot because I just called you a bigot.

This is circular reasoning.
