johnny_elbows said:The only difference between calling someone an N-word and a F** these days is most people realize you can't get away with the former anymore. Same problem, different era. Good call by the league, they just need to keep it up.

Scribe said:So how many games should the OHL suspend a guy for if he checks a guy from behind, or slashes him and breaks a bone?
Not that it has anything to do with the topic at hand, but what are you basing this comment on? I've not heard a single negative comment from the rest of his teammates (excluding Aliu, obviously) in Windsor or Peterborough.copperandblue said:Does anyone know who levied the complaint against Liscomb to the league?
Did he get an unsportsmanlike penalty or anything for his comments? If so, then perhaps the ref's informed the league but if not it seems like a pretty relevant question because it's not like the OHL commissioner was standing in the scrum listening to comments.
Was it Downey who complained? If so then what does it say about him...it's not like he has the reputation of a real stand up guy.

HFNHL Commish said:I think the question that's being asked here is: should the same standard of decorum that exists off the ice be enforced on the ice?
Obviously, invoking the "N" word is a no-no...that particular slur has been elevated above all others in our society. In this particular instance, I think what we're seeing is that gay-bashing is slowly being elevated into the same league as the "N" word.
Am I okay with that? Yeah, but then again I think we live in a society that takes itself WAY too seriously. If this precipitates a zero-tolerance policy, however, where guys are getting suspended for generic cursing...well, let's just say that would be a tad ridiculous.

The judge wants a case of name calling thrown out because he sees it as no different than being called fat at school.
""Have we really got to the stage where we are prosecuting 10-year-old boys because of political correctness?
"I was repeatedly called fat at school. Does this amount to a criminal offence? "
Actually it's supposed to be the one that ends in -ER that is most offensive.JWI19 said:And the dumbest post of the week goes to Steve L
You have no idea what in the hell you are talking about. Call one of my black co-workers that word and lets see if you survive. I know black people who hate it when other black people use that word (well the one that ends with a) because it is and always will be a disrespectful term to describe a particular group of people.
And the word in question with this thread (sounds like bag) is the same thing and people shouldn't be calling other people that word....even if they are boys and are just joking around on the ice.
The term Gay is used daily. "Man cricket is sooooo gay". It's basicaly an alternate for "lame", I don't see it as an insult to gay's. F-g word can be used as an insult, but I don't think it should result in a 5 game suspension that's ridiculous. Their's always going to be trash talking in the game and, if anything the more offensive slurs should only get a 2 minute for un-sportsmanlike imo.Zamboner said:What about sexual orientation based?
How can you miss why implying that gay and lame/stupid are synonymous is an insult?Shabutie said:The term Gay is used daily. "Man cricket is sooooo gay". It's basicaly an alternate for "lame", I don't see it as an insult to gay's.
