Using the "n" word

[Jimgolf]

Where do you people live?

This is a very common term of address in the streets, and with the popularity of rap has spread to middle class neighborhoods as well. Instead of calling each other fool or dawg, they say the n-word.

Teammates talking to each other is not unsportsmanlike behavior. Don't take things out of context. Use your judgment and act appropriately. That's what makes it a judgment call.
