    Dennis Prager upset that he can’t say it anymore. Probably said it all the time in his youth:

    You can say it. It’s not against the law. Just suffer the societal consequences. Coward if he doesn’t say it. Lacks principles if he doesn’t say it on air.

    Why does he so badly want to say it?

    It’s the god damndest thing.

    I never hear old white guy lament the fact that they can’t call Italians “dagos” or “guineas” anymore.

    never hear em bitch that that can’t call the Irish “micks.”

    But man, do they get triggered on this. And it’s always the same rationale. “But they call themselves that!!!!” Yeah, kinda like how Italian and Irish and Polish will do the same To one another. It’s the same rule with all of these: we can call ourselves this, but you can’t. and yet they have no desire to use ethnic slurs on any other group... except this one.

    Wonder why...

    I continue to believe what I said on a different thread about this: Garrett heard Rudolph say something, in the middle of a brawl in front of a screaming crowd, that he plausibly, but mistakenly, thought was a racial slur.

    No. Garret was out of control and acted thoughtlessly and in the heat of an emotional game just went off. It was an emotional reaction to take whatever was in his nphands and attack someone because he felt like it. If his wife or children got him that mad he would smack them too. He’s using any excuse to avoid responsibility. And he’s using the best excuse, he’s now the victim and the media who is his real audience will never question his sincerity. They will say Rudolph denies it, in the same manner that a man on the electric chair says he’s innocent, right before they throw the switch.
    Garret played it well. Rudolph will be gone long before Garrett makes a ProBowl.

    Rudolph was the one out of control. He charged at Garrett after the play was over and Garrett was done. Garrett reacted based on what he heard and Rudolph's actions.

    I don't even doubt that he could have heard a racial slur, but given the chaos going on then, I have no clue if Rudolph was the one who said it.
