I tried to lock it but a certain poster started crying over on the WC. So once again I'm going to give the usual suspects their chance to show their ass. It's the same people that ruin every topic like this.

---

What posters cried about locking it?

---

It was me. I was really sad I couldnt try to instigate more.

It's under the Trump thread. Unfortunate that glass, a "moderator", would lie like that. Nobody cried about it being locked. It should have been locked long ago but glass has beef with who is being threatened and called names so he's fine with it.

1. Hate speech isn't protected speech under the 1st
2. Gary hahn got suspended for something far less offensive (and i believe that was the correct choice
3. As someone who had a soft spot for Huggins i think firing is the correct call but he really shot himself in the foot and his high major coaching days are on a clock now. No telling how many lgbtq kids come through a program. Your sexuality isn't a factor in sports so no need to advertise it, but these kids see, hear, and process everything.
4. Some of y'all need to learn accountability. Don't wanna get fired for saying bigoted things? Don't say bigoted things. It's not even hard. He chose to say that. On the radio. Like an idiot. He got off lucky.

---

That's just not true. Hate speech is protected, from government, overreach! Now, speech can absolutely be reprimanded, by an employer, if they chose.

The Huggins situation would not be classified as government overreach. He is in an employer/employee agreement.

You folks need a lesson on the constitution, and it's protections of peoples natural rights. The founders believed that people are born with rights, and the constitution, is a recognition of those rights; therefore, they can't pass laws to curtail those rights.

Once a person, enters into a work environment, the employer can admonish an employee for certain actions, that go against company policy, values, etc…. What WVU did is completely in line with proper actions, whether I agree with them, or not.

The government didn't jail, fine, etc.. Huggins for his actions. That would be a violation of the first amendment.

For me, and some may disagree, kneeling, during sporting events, is NOT a protected 1st amendment right, while representing a school, professional team, or business. One can absolutely be admonished for that action.

So, I ask, what's the difference in kneeling and what Huggins said, from a 1st amendment standpoint? To me, nothing, if an employer chooses to take action, then, they have the same right as WVU.

When people call out the "woke" crowd, I think this is a decent example

I think what the woke mob has created if someone uses a slang statement or word, it automatically leads to to Bob Huggins doesn't respect gays. What he said was wrong and he apologized. Move on. Let his actions speak for him. None of his past actions has shown anything that he doesn't likes gays - In the 70,80, and 90s, that term was used and I still hear it. It doesn't mean people do not like gays and it is slowly going away. Time heals all of this

$1 million dollars is way too steep for me but Huggins accepted it so it will go away I guess

Rappers and others can say what they want use derogatory language and it is OK. These attacks are targeted.

I think the woke media and social media has successfully created some sort of social police and outrage. It has actually made very reasonable and level headed people become crazy when someone slips up. People make mistakes and we are in a transition as a society.

I always go back to this, if the world could look at everyone's emails for the past 20-30 years, 95% of the world would be fired from their jobs. I truly believe that.

he didn't use "slang" he used the highest and most offensive form of pejorative used against that community for year which was often followed by violence.
I don't know what's so hard to understand about that.

Disagreed. But you're definitely accentuating FLwolf's point with your faux outrage.

---

How do you know his outrage is not real?

---

Based on the hyperbole on the quoted post. I admit it's not scientific.

---

it's a slur. You stupid dip***** Idk how plainly it can be stated for you.

And you know what... that's fine. You use a slur around me and mine I will hit you so hard in the throat talking will be difficult for you for a long while.

1st amendment can't protect you from getting your ass kicked.

---

Somebody ban this ****** for making threats of violence. 1st amendment doesn't protect against that.

---

You know how I roll.. I'm one of the most tolerant dudes in the world, but I'd probably make up a word to insult you if you threatened to punch me in the throat.

---

Once again not a threat just an explanation of consequences to a particular action in an imagine scenario.

Even if it was a threat (it wasn't) physical threats are meaningless 3500 miles away

---

I dont necessarily disagree with the premise of your message.

However, the delivery of your message sucks. Everyone's a bad ass until they ain't, whether that's behind a keyboard or face to face.

i agree with everything you said. My dad was a hard man who lived a hard life and when the internet first started being a thing he told me don't say anything online you're not able or willing to back up in person.

I live by that to this day.

Nah, laughing at your bs tough guy smack. You're an immature child.

I've been who i have been my whole life and i'm still here. if you want to believe i'm "fake tough" go ahead.

I don't think i'm tough at all. Mean? Sure but not tough. But it's not me you should be worried about.

what's the exact nature of this alleged "threat"

All i said is that you don't have to worry about me.

Not going to bother. I tried to put a end to the back and forth and you went and called me out on the WC.

I am moving it to the WC. Y'all can continue the school girl slap fest over there so I don't have to see it messing up the premium basketball forum.

Not once did i say that. All i said was

Don't say slurs.

If you do there are consequences and you really shouldn't ***** about a situation you put yourself.

I'm not morally superior to anyone because morals are subjective

---

You've said multiple slurs. There should be consequences for your threats and slurs. I agree.

---

Never threatened anyone

What slurs did i say?

I cursed but that's nto a slur

do you know what a slur is? maybe you don't bad education i get it

Here: "a derogatory or insulting term applied to particular group of people."

So what slur did i say? What group of people did i look down upon with disdain?

---

We can split hairs I guess if you want but you've called people "stupid", "dip****", "dumbass", "old fart", "cowardly bigot" in the matter of the last hour. Just seems odd that someone who is so sensitive about slurs would call people all those things.

BTW the real definition of slur is "an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation." So yea it checks out.

---

So there are insults and there are slurs. I wouldn't define calling an individual a "dip****" or an "old fart"- which I can identify with and wear it proudly- a slur. Perhaps bigots would fall into slur category if it was referring or implicating everyone on PP. So maybe some gray area there.
And that's all I have to say about that. Carry on.

---

So many rules......so just to make sure I'm clear, we are free to call each other anything we want until someone decides that it is a slur? Is that how it works? lol

---

are you being intentionally obtuse?

Or do you really not know why the word Huggin's said is a Slur that a whole demographic of people find offensive and in certain situations threatening and is not remotely the same as me insulting a singular person

I'm asking a genuine question because if it's the latter i'll retract everything i said about you because you clearly didn't know any better.

You clearly didn't read all my posts. Maybe go back and look at my first one on here. I haven't referenced anything Huggins said in the last 20 posts.

Actually I also provided a definition from the dictionary of a slur in an earlier post. Mixed it with some common sense and tried to inject a bit of levity. I am an old fart but it does not fit the definition of a slur. So not a "rule" by me. But if you disagree with the definition of slur call Cambridge and Merriam-Webster. I can also look up the definition of insult and post it if you like. But, I'm pretty sure you really know what it means, and the difference between the two, but it doesn't fit into the narrative of your primary argument- which really isn't with me.

Im not defending anything Huggins said…..instead quite the opposite. And I am well aware of the difference between what he said and the insults flying in this thread by the one poster. I just think it's a bit ironic AND hypocritical to be so up in arms over one word and call others all those nasty things just because they don't agree with you.

Welcome to the Water Cooler. A place that threads move to, because people engage the same way, on a sports thread, and ***** and complain, about the Water Cooler, and they end up here.

Why is this happening? Because people are people and will act the same way, whether on a sports forum or Water Cooler. For those that complain about the Water Cooler… welcome!

It doesn't mean people do not like gays and it is slowly going away. Time heals all of this

$1 million dollars is way too steep for me but Huggins accepted it so it will go away I guess

Rappers and others can say what they want use derogatory language and it is OK. These attacks are targeted.

I think the woke media and social media has successfully created some sort of social police and outrage. It has actually made very reasonable and level headed people become crazy when someone slips up. People make mistakes and we are in a transition as a society.

I always go back to this, if the world could look at everyone's emails for the past 20-30 years, 95% of the world would be fired from their jobs. I truly believe that.

This

he didn't use "slang" he used the highest and most offensive form of pejorative used against that community for year which was often followed by violence.
I don't know what's so hard to understand about that.

---

m

Disagreed. But you're definitely accentuating FLwolf's point with your faux outrage.

---

How do you know his outrage is not real?

---

Based on the hyperbole on the quoted post. I admit it's not scientific.

---

it's a slur. You stupid dip***** Idk how plainly it can be stated for you.

And you know what... that's fine. You use a slur around me and mine I will hit you so hard in the throat talking will be difficult for you for a long while.

1st amendment can't protect you from getting your ass kicked.

Empathy at its finest.

He had better hope you don't practice your 2nd amendment rights too.

Welcome to the Water Cooler. A place that threads move to, because people engage the same way, on a sports thread, and ***** and complain, about the Water Cooler, and they end up here.

Why is this happening? Because people are people and will act the same way, whether on a sports forum or Water Cooler. For those that complain about the Water Cooler… welcome!

You are here because you are no different than the Water Cooler! You just think you are!

Difference is, on the sports board (and this is a sports site) you don't have to read any of the following gibberish. There is a reason this forum has about 10 posters, and 75% of the posts over the past month are you and werewolf (minus the couple of sports topics on here, like nascar and hurricanes)

1) election was rigged
2) covid was not real
3) Buffalo was a hollywood production
4) the earth is flat
5) climate change is fake
6) mass shootings are often false flags by our own government
7) a young girl's terrible rape story was a lie, but if you call me out on it, thats a lie
8) blatant racist jokes that liken the worst of the old stereotypes about skin color
9) werewolfs blatently misleading propaganda
10) Biden is dead and we're being weekend at bernie'd.
11) the favorite pastime here -- "the moderation of this board is so unfair"
12) MARXIST


Now, people there may believe some of this...but 99.9% of time, it never comes up. The story that was moved over here -- reasonable debate until two posters made it personal for an extended period

Now, there may be people

It's always the guy claiming to be morally superior than others that starts throwing out threats and insults online. Hilarious.

---

Not once did i say that. All i said was

Don't say slurs.

If you do there are consequences and you really shouldn't ***** about a situation you put yourself.

I'm not morally superior to anyone because morals are subjective

---

You've said multiple slurs. There should be consequences for your threats and slurs. I agree.

---

Never threatened anyone

What slurs did i say?

I cursed but that's nto a slur

do you know what a slur is? maybe you don't bad education i get it

Here: "a derogatory or insulting term applied to particular group of people."

So what slur did i say? What group of people did i look down upon with disdain?

---

We can split hairs I guess if you want but you've called people "stupid", "dip****", "dumbass", "old fart", "cowardly bigot" in the matter of the last hour. Just seems odd that someone who is so sensitive about slurs would call people all those things.

BTW the real definition of slur is "an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation." So yea it checks out.

---

So there are insults and there are slurs. I wouldn't define calling an individual a "dip****" or an "old fart"- which I can identify with and wear it proudly- a slur. Perhaps bigots would fall into slur category if it was referring or implicating everyone on PP. So maybe some gray area there.
And that's all I have to say about that. Carry on.

---

So many rules......so just to make sure I'm clear, we are free to call each other anything we want until someone decides that it is a slur? Is that how it works? lol

---

Actually I also provided a definition from the dictionary of a slur in an earlier post. Mixed it with some common sense and tried to inject a bit of levity. I am an old fart but it does not fit the definition of a slur. So not a "rule" by me. But if you disagree with the definition of slur call Cambridge and Merriam-Webster. I can also look up the definition of insult and post it if you like. But, I'm pretty sure you really know what it means, and the difference between the two, but it doesn't fit into the narrative of your primary argument- which really isn't with me.

---

I also provided a definition. "an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation". That seems pretty self explanatory to me. Im not defending anything Huggins said…..instead quite the opposite. And I am well aware of the difference between what he said and the insults flying in this thread by the one poster. I just think it's a bit ironic AND hypocritical to be so up in arms over one word and call others all those nasty things just because they don't agree with you.

---

I'm aware of your definition but believe you are misinterpreting and/or not reading the difference in a slur vs an insult. You calling me(and you didn't)or anyone an old fart or even a dip**** does not damage or harm my reputation, specifically here, because you have no idea who I am nor do most or maybe all of the posters here. It's your opinion and maybe others hold the same but again the same would hold for them. Insult? Sure, but honestly those kind of personal,name calling attacks don't really matter to me. Couldn't care less. However, say I was say in a similar position to those that Huggins went after, it was in a public forum, the person or people are known and his statement was targeted at a specific group, while it would certainly be considered an insult, it also fits the definition of a slur in the potential to harm or damage their reputation and could possibly have legal standing. If he had just called them a bunch or old farts , or dips**** or even morons this topic is probably not nearly as many posts long that it is. You may be saying tomato /tomatoe and that's fine we'll agree to disagree. For the record I don't support insults on here by anyone. Adds nothing of value to the site or discussion.

Last time I heard so much talk about definitions..

You don't get to tell others what they are offended by. You can call me whatever you want and I honestly couldn't care less. In fact I'd probably just laugh. Some people that are called the word Huggins used weren't bothered either. Some were. Just because you wouldn't be offended by "old fart", "jackass", "stupid", "dumbass" or "cowardly bigot" doesn't mean others wouldn't be. Huggins was in the wrong and so was thenewclass. Why can't we admit that slurs and insults (sometimes the same thing as a slur) can both be considered wrong?

Chem, for once, I wish you would comment on whether a post of mine, is factual, or not. No, what you chose to do was an ad hominem attack.

Instead of bringing up my "opinion" of Michele Obama's appearance; perhaps, you could debate the substance of my post? Instead of, just saying, your "opinion", of my post, appears to be "I'm the smartest guy in the room"; perhaps, you could debate the substance of my post?

Chem, in my "Opinion" you only want to disparage me, when you can. I know that's true, for my, when I see your post.

At some point, this probably needs to stop, don't you think?

Seems like the common theme in this thread has been, there are consequences when you say stupid things. Whether from employer or owner of site

Which is why I always get tickled when you and others on this forum get so upset at the moderation, when you know it is the moderators full right to remove anything / anyone they want if they don't follow the rules. Yet, that line of whining has to be one of the top topics on this forum from you and a few others.

Ok, I'm going to the dark side again…

Self-awareness is "not" a strong suit, for you, is it?

BREAKING: West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins was arrested for DUI last night, confirmed by records.

Huggins was arrested back on June 8, 2004 for the same charge.
