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.

Yeah, Jim, the assistant coach might really be the nicest guy in the world, but again, that's completely and totally irrelevant. We penalize participants in a game for what they
do, not for what they
are. The assistant coach made an obvious racial comment imo; also imo, he deserved to be tossed for making that racial comment. Others may certainly disagree; that is their right also.
That's linear reasoning.
