Second-year Hawaii football coach Greg McMackin said Notre Dame players engaged in a "little **** dance" when describing a banquet the night before the Hawaii Bowl last December.

quote:

"Don't write that '****' down. I was misquoted," he said. "Just please … cover for me," McMackin said Thursday. "Go ahead, say ‘**** dance.’ No. Please cover for me on that, too — right Karl? I’ll deny it. Anything else?"

About 15 minutes after McMackin left the room, he returned and added, "I want to officially, officially apologize. Please don’t write that statement I said as far as Notre Dame. The reason is, I don’t care about Notre Dame. But I’m not a … I don’t want to come out and have every homosexual ticked off at me. You know what I mean. Because I don’t have any problem with homosexuals. But I apologize for saying that and I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t run that word. If you said dance, that’s OK. But don’t use the bad term that I chose, please. Thank you."

Kind of ironic to hear this coming from the Rainbows

They haven't been known as the Rainbows or the Rainbow Warriors for about a decade now...

Really, nothing is gayer than that dance they do before their game.

Tell that to the New Zealand All Blacks, any Fijian, Tongan, Samoan, or any other Pacific Islander and let me know how bad you get your arse kicked.

I guess you think that this: LINK is "gay"...

Well, that term is pretty incendiary (pun intended, since it is a reference to when gays were burned at the stake), and he's at a meeting where the press and executive types are present. Locker room language is not the same as press conference language.

Incorrect. Football is the Warriors, Basketball is the Rainbow Warriors and Baseball is the Rainbows. Each sport is allowed to choose their own mascot. Therefore, we can still call them the Rainbows.

Since he coaches football, he doesn't coach the Rainbows.

This really sucks where we live in a world now where we can't make fun of homos. I kind of wish it was still the 50's or 60's because making fun of pillow biters was the one thing most of us could agree on, black or white.

Really? Those dudes wear armor and need entourages to protect them. They use modern weapons (except Ray Lewis...).

Fiji is not far removed from being a cannibal culture. One of my former team mates once threatened to eat a dude when he tried to start something.
