Sorry if what I said was offensive to all of the POS out there. If you can't understand the difference between calling someone a POS (when they clearly are) and using a hateful racial slur, I'm not sure what I can do for you. Perhaps it was a bit harsh. Doesn't change anything about my original post though.
The irony is rich. Who is trying to justify their language now?

Only the part that fits your narrative. The apology must be fake, right?

Good grief, I don’t have a narrative. I don’t have any skin in the game. The stuff she felt comfortable enough to yell in a public venue tells me what I need to know about this woman’s character. Do I want her life ruined? No way. Do I want her to go to jail? Of course not. Free speech and all. I’m comfortable enough to call her a POS though.

I guess my question is how will they keep her from buying tickets to UK events? Oh, they may not sell her season tickets, but she can buy tickets from scalpers on the street, on stubhub, etc. No way they would ever know she attends.

That is fair.

What she did was wrong, but this is an over reaction. NCAA rules state if a player uses a racial slur against another player they are ejected from that game. But you are going to ban a fan for life or an indefinite amount of time for the same thing?

Where is resident lawyer who defended her so vehemently the last couple of days? UK had no choice but to go this route. You can't let this kind of stuff be tied to your programs without making a bold move to distance yourself. Trying to explain it away because she has had brain cancer is just ridiculous.
Are you referring to me? Is this really how you would summarize the points made last night?

In my decade plus on catspause, I don't know if I've ever come across such an obtuse mischaracterization of a recent conversation as what you have posted here.

I don't like what the woman said, but you can find someone else to debate how evil she is (or is not). How racist is she? I dunno. Probably at least somewhat, but that's subjective, and the subjective is boring to me. Your guess is as good as mine.

I'm not like most "people people" in the sense that I am much more interested in what is possible: what is likely to occur, what is unlikely to occur, and the relative probabilities of all of those outcomes. The legal precedent thus far established is just one important component in determining those probabilities.

UK did what most institutions would do from a PR standpoint, and their decision will almost certainly go unchallenged for the reasons I laid out previously. This is exactly what I predicted would happen.

100% of my points centered around legal nuances that will likely never play out (as I discussed in excrutiating depth) and an array of physiological possibilities that still don't necessarily satisfy Ockham's razor (as I discussed in even greater depth).

If you want to call me out, then do it properly. Here is my screen name. I'm always here for you.

Her apology. Sounds heartfelt. You guys are over the top

My reaction after the game was unacceptable, period," she told the television station. "It was against all values of the university and state of Kentucky. I humbly apologize to the individuals at which my words were directed. My words were hurtful and hateful and have no place in this world. I apologize to the university and state of Kentucky for the embarrassment I have caused. I want my apology not just to be in words, but in actions moving forward."
It does shoot down the freedom of speech in our country and it is a public university but In today’s climate banning and firing are common for things like this. Hope they don’t start banning me for calling people a d$;@ while driving or I’m gonna lose my license. :joy:

By the way, most women would consider being called a 'stupid *****' very hurtful. Maybe you aren't best one to be passing judgement.

There you go defending her again. She looked into the phone and said what she said. Yea I would say she's a stupid *****.

She could have called that Tennessee fan anything in the world and nobody would care. But she made it racist.

That Tennessee fan was probably an obnoxious ***** himself. But she couldn't just call him that.

She's an adult and 12 year olds have more sense then that. She deserves what she gets.

They continue to display their ridiculous, outdated paradigm by being unnecessarily obtuse and difficult about something that the rest of the modern, developed world realizes is very simple.
Ok, I guess I'm obtuse too, and I am sometimes, so what is so simple?

The ban is for PR purposes. Logistically it would be difficult to keep her out of Rupp if she wants to get in. Not sure why people are getting hung up on that.

Guessing she can still attend road and neutral site games as long as she doesn't buy tickets through the UK Athletic Association.

Still, the right move by Mitch.

It was a hard call ! I may rotate: Parker, Stargell, Moreno, Tekulve, Garner, Ott, Bobby, Candy man, Milner, Sanguin, etc..... Probably roll with The Cobra for a while. :smiley:
Pirates had some dudes for sure. If not for the Big Red Machine, they likely win a couple more WS titles. That was a really good rivalry in the 70's.

Exactly. It shows UK will not tolerate this and she's no longer welcome at UK sporting events. That's the perfect message and Mitch did real well.

Not much else she can say. Although, if those words come out, the feeling is in there. That is the unacceptable part. Maybe this incident will let her realize she has a problem. Unfortunate all the way around. UK had to do this.

It was a hard c right after the Pirates had won the World Series. Tall ! I may rotate: Parker, Stargell, Moreno, Tekulve, Garner, Ott, Bobby, Candy man, Milner, Sanguin, etc..... Probably roll with The Cobra for a while. :smiley:
I went to Bradenton, Florida and watched the Pirates play a spring training game against the Detroit Tigers in 1980 right after the had won the World Series. They had a great team back then.

I'd really like to hear a black poster's perspective of what he/she would want to see done to this woman if he/she was the one whom this insult was directed toward.
