All the power hitters records from the 90s should be wiped out.

I'd have to agree with you there. Poor one-in-a-million guy who actually got one of those records legitimately only to have it tainted because everyone else around him was (getting vitamin shots)."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

St. Louis Radio Announcer fired.
Apparently he had a little slip of the tongue and used the word "coon" in regard to Condoleeza Rice and the NFL Commissioner's job. He meant to say coup and immediately began apologizing for it. Just thought it was interesting."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

That suck's. Why is coon such a bad word?Comment

I heard about that this morning too. "Coon" as defined by dictionary.com is..
n 1: an eccentric or undignified rustic; "I'll be a gone coon when the battle starts" 2: (ethnic slur) offensive name for a Black person; "only a Black can call another Black a nigga" [syn: nigger, nigga, spade, jigaboo, nigra] 3: North American raccoon [syn: common raccoon, common racoon, ringtail, Procyon lotor]
You can see why its such an issue. I'm not sure where I stand on this one. He did seem apologetic and, most likely, mixed "coup" and "boon", both of which were appropriate for the statement he was trying to make regarding Condi and her shot at commishing the NFL. He was actually being VERY complimentary towards her and the slip was an accident. He was very apologetic, but that wasn't enough.
A radio show I was listening to this morning paralleled his statement with that of Wolf Blitzer's comment "So Black" in regards to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
It is very possible that he just mixed the two words--coup and boon--and got to "coon", but is it really possible for that word to slip if he's never said it before?

About a year or 2 ago the LT Gov for Cali Cruz Bustamante (he is suppose to be Latino, yeah right) was making a speach somewhere in LA in front of mostly black audience and during the speach he said nigger instaed of negro. I dont know how it blew over so easy but he apoligized and still has his job. My opinion is that you say whats in your heart when you slip.Comment

you think the mayor of new orleans slipped when he said he wanted a Chocolate City?
what would happen if the mayor of Greenbay said he wanted greenbay to be a vanilla city.
well i guess greenbay is already a vanilla city.Comment
