Former University of Central Florida defensive coordinator Paul Ferraro accuses UCF football coach George O'Leary of explosive racist remarks in a breach of contract lawsuit filed in circuit court on Friday.

The suit alleges that O'Leary used a derogatory word for African-Americans and called the NFL "one big 'Ru-Ru' tribe." The suit also alleges O'Leary once advised coaches to check African-American players "to make sure their gums are blue, because they are bigger, faster and stronger than (African-American players) with red gums."

I find it shocking that an east coast Irishman has made racist remarks.

WTF??? My gums are a light reddish/pink color. Of course I'm mixed with other things. I bet I'm a lot faster than some of those blue gummed frickers.

I'm not even mad about what he said. People are too damn sensitive. This is some funny shite.

UCF immediately investigated the allegations Mr. Ferraro made when he abruptly abandoned his job," Heston emailed. "The university's Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action office found the allegations to be untrue.

"None of the individuals alleged to have been the subject of, or to have overheard, these supposed statements corroborated Mr. Ferraro's claims. In fact, until seeking compensation after abandoning his job, it does not appear he ever discussed this with anyone at UCF."

While The Greek was hilariously wrong about the extra tendon/muscle that made black people faster, he wasn't wrong about them having way more elite athletes.

Different evolution from different parts of the world has led to different physical traits.

Its time people quit being sensitive about shite like that. Its actually really cool if you think about it.

No one screams racism when people talk about Samoan's being genetically perfect for the game of football.
