Really? i guess I don't understand video games. I played COD back in the day and I may yell at an NPC (never really did that head to head stuff), but I don't think I ever dropped an N bomb or racial slur. I'm sure I called someone a bitch, so maybe I am not immune from that. But, I just don't understand people that use racial or ethnic slurs at all.
I was born in the 70's and it was a well known derogatory term to me. So i am also surprised, but some of these younger people must not have been exposed to that word as being offensive. I think part of it too was the more openness and anti-semitic forwardness of the KKK during the 80's maybe? I don't know. Just speculating here.
Did you know it was a very derogatory term for Jewish people? That's all i know. I didn't know anything else. Edit: oh nevermind, you addressed that above.
I figure most people have seen George Carlin work this derogatory term angle and at least have seen Robin Williams in the Good Morning Vietnam bar scene with the brain dead redneck marines.....
If you go into one of those games you'll see a lot of racial slurs, things like "hitler was right" stuff like that. It's kids trolling. It's stupid. With that said, this isn't Meyers trolling. This is just a straight up racial slur.
That's interesting....I believe you but to me it's like someone saying they don't know what the N word means or a certain chinese slur....etc....the Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin used the word all the time. So did Don Rickles
No way he makes it back from this. His 'murica shtick and then of course he's clearly a biggot. What about all that love stuff he was preaching? He doesn't belong in the league on any level. Fuck him. You think he he stops at the slur he used?
He has been streaming a lot for a few years. I think he started when he was a Blazer. He was streaming Fortnight. He's not very good. Basically the dude has a ton of free time on his hands.
I don't know. There are a lot of teams that would probably overlook this if he could help them win a championship to be honest. The problem is that his talent/skill level makes it unlikely that he would be a better option than most other players without the recent injury history and PR issues. Time makes things go away. Unless this blows up and becomes a big thing, the world will probably forget.
That word doesn't come out in anger unless it's already been instilled in you. Meyers is done. He wasn't good at basketball anyway.
I'm looking forward to the "I have a lot to learn...didnt know what this means...just heard the word myself..." in 5....4...3...2...
