I know we've all said things, especially growing up and around friends and sports, that we wouldn't want on the Internet for the world to see. But I'm mid 30s and can't even remember the last time I jokingly called a friend a slur. The fact that this dude is 50 years old, calling a college kid a slur on national television on CBB's biggest stage of the year thus far.......the audacity.

It's not a strut. He's literally skipping. Like a child. So bizarre. Gives off strong "old guy trying to be a cool kid" vibes.

Sunday night tony was running around the dugout, pushing guys and slinging water from AJ's jug after tying the game. Last night he's shoving guys, punching them in celebration, and sprinting to goof off with his team after the handshake line.

You know that has to TOTALLY infuriate a guy like Walter. He doesn't have that naturally.

Opposing coaches should not be flinging any type of derogatory words towards any player on the other team. If a coach wants to complain about and to a ref - fine. But calling out any player like this, regardless of the words that are used, should not be tolerated.

I get that it happens but that doesn't make it right at all.

Edited to add - the NCAA is now running that commercial asking fans not to harasses players when they do something wrong - yet coaches can do this??

YES. Tony is the cool guy all the players want to hang out with; Walter is the grandpa crashing his grandson's fraternity party.

Don’t attribute the concern of the PSA , or drawtheline.org, to be about protecting student athletes. It is about protecting gambling.

100% sure I was aware and you should use a device known as "spell-check".

I'm 100% sure Volnation usernames won't be corrected by spell-check. (Apologies to Power _Sweep_Vol for letting my fat fingers mistype your username, and for failing to double check my post.) And sorry to you for misinterpreting your message. Usually on here when someone gives an actual serious response to a quippy bit of sarcasm, it's because they didn't take it as sarcasm. I know I've done it a few times.

A lot of us who grew up during those days and were hardened by those behaviors still think those types of comments have no place in society- especially from leaders, coaches, teachers etc. But you stay stuck in 1973.

it’s not being stuck anywhere,or anytime, those things didn’t hurt then and the only reason they hurt now is because of weakness. I’ll continue being a rock and you can be the soft gooey stuff that lets words hurt you.

You can’t say fat fingers anymore, they prefer full-figured fingers.

Social psychologists state that a primary sign of intelligence is being able to adapt to changing conditions. Ty for clarifying your lack of mental acuity and that you are the official arbiter of all things hurtful in society.

Psychology has no proof, just theories, so you do you.

Where did you get your advanced psych degree? Oh wait, you only have outdated, antiquated, narrow minded opinions from 1973. While you’re posturing as the final arbiter on social matters why don’t you go full Monty and share with the class all of your views-I mean mandates-about all things socially acceptable

Even in those days, never heard of a teacher, coach, et al saying those type of comments on a whim and in those situations where they did, I can guarantee you they heard about it from said child's parents. There is a standard that those who are entrusted to teach and lead others has always been expected to uphold.

I think we as a society have gotten lax about what we allow to be said outloud.

Players, students, et al - yes they have always said things - but even back then we expected those who were teachers and leaders to set an example and not be the one that says those things.

Tell me this - if that was directed at your son - would you be okay with that?

So we as a society are to just accept any change as is? I don't think so.

Some of this was not as noticeable in the past - now with every game on TV and cameras everywhere hard to cover up situations where this type of activity happens.

I don't think it was that folks were not soft - I think it was more that folks didn't see it in real time on their TV screen.

No doubt. It's beyond silly that everyone excuses the first word, only to be triggered by the second. Society these days... yay!

Fisher administered the appropriate punishment, as did the fans. Beat him and embarrass him on national TV.

So would have been OK if he had called him a celibate ******?
