    Here's more:

    Antonio Brown, drama queen of the NFL has called the GM of the raiders a racial slur. Should racism be allowed in the NFL? Do we all remember what happened when the Eagles WR used the N word at a concert and the outrage? Will we see the left wing condemn such racist behavior this time or will there be excuses?

    "Cracker" is NOT a "Racial Slur".

    And, there is NO Comparison (whatsoever) to the Visceral Racism of the N-Word.

    How is it not a racial slur if it's referred to by one single race...?

    Can you please expand on your quick comment?

    Just to expand on my previous comment, it is by definition a "racial slur". Please let me know if you require the definition of a racial slur. Happy to help clear up your confusion.

    Should someone who calls others racial slurs be punished in the national football league or do you believe racial slurs should be ignored?

    I have a follow up question assuming you do not deflect.

    I don’t think anyone compared it to the n word, but it certainly is a racist slur

    I have come to the conclusion that there are some who are beyond saving. They will carry on creating a new reality by ignoring, side stepping and denying the real one.

    In my OP is asked if the left would condemn racial slurs being used or excuse them. @Andrew Jackson did not condemn the racial slur did he?

    They never will, you have to give the left credit. He could be Charlie Manson, they'd still support him as long as he offers to comply with their racist agenda.

    Waiting for him to be fired from his position, disowned by friends and family, dragged through the mud by MSM, deplatformed from social media...

    It's always fun watching those people that gave us such certain predictions in 2016 now justify racism.

    I don't know, but I'm moving his ass down my draft list right now...

    Although as a 31 year old having David Carr throwing to him, he wasn't in my top 10 receivers even at the start of pre-season...

    I think all of this "racism" crap has become asinine, but it is kind of funny seeing the shoe on the other foot.

    Honestly, I think Burfect(sp?) shook his brain up and made him worse than when he came into the league.

    You should be outraged. When you accept it and laugh, it fans the flames of racism.
