    I get this sites members are pretty oblivious/racist. It’s very clear.

    As someone who leans republican, and doesn’t really get offended by anything, and is often annoyed at how easily others get offended,

    How you can’t see the issue in this comment is pretty clueless

    But it is not meant the way you are literally interpreting it. AGAIN, this expression has been around forever and it is used toward ANYONE that does or says something stupid. It is absolutely no big deal.

    It isn’t a big deal. The intent of what was said wasn’t racist.

    Now that I finally heard the audio for first time, announcer used term as a COMPLIMENT, i.e., Westbrook was playing out of his mind. He did not use phrase how it is normally used. Either way, not offensive.

    On top of that he's an announcer for an NBA team that is well known and liked. His love for the game and players is also well known.. Chances of him being racist are slim and none.. Call it a slip of the tongue at worst but to call this man a racist is just wrong on every level.. It's a harmless old term that was used even in older cartoons.. Not ment to be racist..

    "slip of the tongue" would imply he said something wrong. He just used a common expression (at least for us older folks), nothing to see here.

    Not remotely offended. Am intelligent enough to know why a black athlete may have issue with some old dude referring to him this way. But we did figure out your reading comprehension sucks.

    But they should not be offended knowing the term is used toward anyone of any race.

    Oh my God.

    The Thunder have just suspended the announcer.

    They suspended him? Dam. That's harsh. Honestly, he didn't need to apologize for this.Even though a "It's a stupid thing say. I never thought about the origin of the phrase before" apology would've made everybody happy.

    Watch you say at work boys.

    I am the furthest from a racist you will ever meet. You ARE aware those are my kids in my avatar, right? And now the suspension is ridiculous for what should have been a non-issue.
