    Well, why not? Only other players (and sometimes, between plays, the ref) can hear what’s being said.

    My solution for this asinine rule…

    First pre-season game, every player, on every team, shouts insults at everybody. After the first 3 hour first quarter, the league will listen to the networks and kill the rule.

    How about someone explaining to me why “N-Word” is more acceptable than “N_____”. (I am quite capable of saying and spelling “that word”, but the censors would not allow the post if I actually did.) That some go into a meltdown upon hearing it – in any context – does not speak well of the person taking such undiscriminatory offense. I see such sensitivity as simply a way to exert a degree of power over others. Some people win by winning, others win by losing; this may be an example of the latter.

    …and only white players can use words such as honky, redneck, cracker and peckerwood. Fair’s fair.

    And only the English can mention “The French Disease” whilst only the French can mention “The English Disease”? (I refer, of course, to the common cold…..which, come to think of it, only commoners should be allowed to mention!)

    Reminds me of an old New Yorker cartoon: Sign in 5th Ave. shop window, “Ici on ne parle rien”

    Political correctness run amuck. There was a case recently where two African-Americans were involved on opposing sides. One of them had used the n word on the other. The one who it had been used on sued the other one for hate speech and tried to argue that since they were both African-American the word is meaningless. The court disagreed.

    timbob2313: A parody on the discrete signs in the window indicating they have staff to assist foreign tourists in a more comfortable language. Literally is says "here we don’t speak anything.
