Retard is a word...it means to slow down, hold back. A verb. Children that were slow in learning were called that. They were. The only reason is became offensive is because children (and athletes) began referring to others in insult, no matter if they were "retarded" or not..."you f'ing retard". They used the word, a legit word...as an insult. So, the snowflake generation, thought police.... felt, words can hurt...and that word is horrible. So versus logic, they made that word offensive...and replaced it with..."special". Of course, kids now insult others by saying "are you f'ing special" or...."you sound special" No matter what the word, it will always simply be the context of a word. Engine braking in trucks are still called retarders. I wonder why they are insulting the trucks? The "N"word is a word all so and use to be used as commonly as the word being discussed now. If a white player had called a fan the "N"word would we be reacting in the same way,would people just blow it off like some want to do like it's no big thing? Hell no. Of Course not! We all know that only Blacks can call other Blacks the "N" word, it isn't "racists when they spew it back n forth at each other. Noticed how you said "White" player, which verifies what I said. The present generation is full of thin skinned butthurt people & it seems as though some of you that were from the previous generation have jumped on board the PC train as well. I know for a fact that there a few of you here that would make someone jobless & homeless over a "word" that hurt your sensitive widdle feelings cuz it wasn't PC. Bless your hearts.

I disagree with the thought here................ Not a Fortune 500 but for an Organization that is one of only 32 in it's field and recognized through out the World. Again I say if this were a white person/player and had used the "N" word and did a half ass apology like Jenkins did what would be going on now?Would other players around the league welcome him with open arms?It's only a word ........right? Professional athletes are under a bigger microscope then almost anyone. they have a lot of responsibility to be politically correct. Then again our president uses this type of language all the time . We didn't vote for him to be PC, we voted for him to clean up the swamp! And boy, have they come to surface ever since he won in 16'. Couldn't beat em in 16, can't beat em in 20', let's be little bitches & make up tons of false accusations the past 3 yrs & try & impeach him. That's how much fear this man instills in the left!

Freedom of speech is as much a responsibility as it is a right. That freedom comes with the notion that an individual can self filter when necessary . If one cannot. the consequences of public opinion can be initiated. If you believe that then you have NO understanding of the 1st Amendment.
Offensive speech is the exact kind of speech the Framers intended should be protected. No need to protect speech everyone is fine with. They never imagined that so many weak minded folks would be so easily offended. But either way......It's good for all of us to have unfettered free speech.
I agree 100% . That does not mean if you use racial comments. You are not going to go unchallenged by the population . I never once ensued the government should filter speech, If you cannot yourself . You may have a problem with credibility.

All your posts are the same. They have nothing to do with football but rather just making sweeping generalizations about posters and the society in which we live.

Wow man. I just can't even begin to explain how off base you are. But it makes sense not to for two reasons: 1. This is a NY Giants football message board. Not a political one. 2. You wouldn't understand anyway

Sorry, I have no idea what you're referring to. Did we get into it? (clearly you can see that it doesn't bother me) Also sorry you were having a bad morning.

Public apologies mean nothing. An apology is an expression of genuine remorse. Public apologies are not. They are attempts to save your ass.
Maybe he's not sorry. If that's the case, a public apology would be a lie.
I don't care if he's sorry. I care if he can cover.
I fully understand this is just me. If he is an ass I don't want him around cover or not. People seem to have supported him through the time he went through with his brother , so I feel no loss for him. If your standard is to have no "asses" on your team?......It would be a very thin roster.

Why would anyone elect a run of the mill politician to clean up the swamp? Especially when all of his advisors and administration are long time swamp residents? That makes no sense at all. And spare us the crocodile tears over the impeachment. Now that the media runs the country we have a political witch hunt and impeachment every twenty years. Although I'll admit that the whingeing, whining and crying about it is a bit tough to take. And if I'm reading your posts correctly, I guess it's something you would completely expect from a draft dodger. I just find it sad and unmanly.

Clinton's family shipped his ass off to Oxnard England to keep him from getting drafted. Bush Jr was in the Air national guard "reserves" Obozo never had the cojones to serve either. The rich have that luxury that the rest of us don't. Last actual combat vet Presidents we had were JFK & Bush Sr who both fought in WWII.

Plus, why would I give a crap about Clinton? I distrust and dislike nearly all politicians so Clinton, Obama, Trump, Bush, it's all the same. I think it's cool that you have a higher bar for random and anonymous message board posters than you do for the president of the united states. I don't, I expect very little out of each so I expect him to be a pussy. That's why I'm not surprised your boy didn't have the sack to serve.

Very nice thread to justify your negative narrative . Now go to one of these challenged young people and explain to them how being called the word we are discussing is ok and they should accept it becuase other people are just to plain ignorant to figure out a different word to use. It's not "OK". But using it shouldn't end your career. That's a tad disproportionate.....wouldn't you agree? Yes.

Every transgression is the death penalty now. A wise man once tweeted...Social media is like a supermax prison - you got beef, someone has to die. It's frightening to me that it has gotten to the point where you don't counter speech with an alternative point of view, you simply outlaw anything you don't like. I have never been much of the believer that it's ok for one group to do something and not another. If the word is not OK for everyone to use then no one should say it.Does it really take that much effort to think of a different way of saying something. Look you're right key board commando's are everywhere on the internet . Let's go back and look at the fact he called a fan that name............ Until they ban that word also. Sounds like we are developing the Newspeak dictionary.
