Why the heck did they give him a 5 year deal from the beginning? Stotts didn't get close to that. http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on...-mike-brown-as-coach-hire-david-griffin-as-gm
Organization is so stupid. That being said, I have said for as long as I can remember that Mike Brown is a terrible coach.
Didn't like the hiring from the start (not that I was alone) BUT if you are going to hire someone that looks mediocre you certainly don't give him a long ass contract. The organization is showing they are a train-wreck just throwing away money like that.
You have to be some special kind of retarded to hire and fire the same guy twice in the span of.... what..... five years?
I would feel bad for him if one year of his contract wasn't so much money, because he didn't deserve any of it. A 5th grade girls YMCA coach would be as good.
retarded - characterized by a slowness or limitation in intellectual understanding and awareness, emotional development, academic progress, etc. It's a word in the dictionary, and actually had a meaning before the PC police got ahold of it. It's no different than calling someone stupid or dumb. I don't care if someone is offended by it.
Admitting your mistake twice. Some where in Mercer Island Washington there is a billionaire sayin' 'not me'.
Not saying MM, just that I think freaking out about that word is a little ridiculous. It's not at all like the "N" word because we still use "retard" in other facets of English. There is no other use for the "N" word, other than maybe *****rdly, which has nothing to do with black people.
Bullshit. Even if what you say is true (I won't deny it), you used it specifically in the context that definitely means "special needs n**ger." I'm guilty as anyone of using the term, because I was born in the 70's and it was used all the time. But that's no excuse. Have some self-awareness and clean your mouth a bit.
People say "slow," "stupid," or "dumb" all the time, but nobody says anything then, why? Saying someone was mentally retarded was not meant to be a slap in the face, but was an actual term because it meant that they had developed slower than everyone else. Retard means to slow. You can use the word "retard" without having anything to do mental intelligence, but someone will take offense to it. The ONLY reason why people get butthurt is because we are so PC now that it has become an insult. Does anyone get pissed when we use the term "fire retardant?"
Critics of the word "retard" never offer a suitable replacement. We have to guess how to please you. Is this what you propose? "You have to be some special kind of Special Needs idiot to hire and fire the same guy twice in the span of.... what..... five years?"
Seriously, which replacement word packs some punch when you want to call someone an idiot, moron, etc. You won't like any replacement.
Special needs directly implicates a certain demographic, whereas retarded means slow. It doesn't have to mean someone that has special needs, but the PC police made it so. So if "special needs" became an insult in common usage, what would they change it to? Just start calling everyone unique snowflakes and leave it at that.
Why on earth should the onus be on the offended to propose who the offensive deal with themselves? Use stupid. Use slow. Use moronic. Use idiotic. Use dim.
