1 espn headline writer fired, one suspened for thirty days.

Oh, I do too. I watch every week, because I usually enjoy it. I was just making the hipster, it's-been-cool-to-mock-SNL-every-year-since-'75 joke.

I needed to spread around more rep before everyone else needed to spread around more rep.

Anyone know how we can get Skip Bayless to use a racial slur on the air?

They could have him discuss NFC East football, specifically Washington...

I really don't think anyone should have been fired. I think a suspension would have been sufficient.

There is no way of proving any malice and that is a term I've heard before. Unless they admitted to it, which I doubt, the one may have a lawsuit.

This is coming from a guy who dated a Chinese girl for 3 years. People really do not realize how hurtful their words and actions can be sometimes. People take their fingers and slant their eyes, make fun of the way they talk, etc.. It's not appropriate, but a lot of people dont even realize that they are doing it.

If a person doesn't realize what words/phrases are hurtful, then I'd suggest a different career than "headline writer for huge news outlet."

Exactly - it's ludicrous to think that a headline constructed to get hits that relies on a slur isn't premeditated. A little different from a question in an intereview.
