Looks as if MRR is going to feel the pain for his remarks for a while, which I think is pretty ridiculous. If the man has Jewish family members I'm pretty positive that what he said was not meant to be harmful to anyone. PC people need to relax and take a look into things before they react.

Did you read this comment on the second ESPN story?

"I am not anti-Semitic," he said. "I was giving compliments. It's like saying the NBA is 85 percent black."

He is a steroetyping mofo. I for one hope he never ever gets to coach in Great Falls. How dare he lump in NBA players as "85% black". Instead of promoting diversity he is dishing out racist rhetoric. This is what is wrong with this country. He should just keep his mouth shut. We shouldn't judge NBA players based on their skin color only on their ability. As far as I'm concerned we're all one race, the human race. There aren't smart people and dumb people, only people.... well except for the Asian kids I went to high school with. They were all really really smart.

There's a stereotype in itself, even if it's a comment. Can't even prove your point without making yourself just as guilty as the other.
