Some people offended that Bill Walton used the "m" word

During halftime of Arizona State’s eventual 77-72 win over USC on Thursday, Walton — who serves as a broadcaster with ESPN — used the “m-word” while complimenting the in-game host.
“He does not need a little chair because he is a giant in a world full of shriveling midgets,” Walton said.
Walton then turned to his broadcast partner, Dave Pasch, and joked: “Speaking of shriveling midgets, what is your name again?”
Pasch, who shook his head and laughed, asked, “What is wrong with you?”

no decent human being is "offended" by this ....
anyone who is "offended" by this is media, or other anti-white / anti-America propaganda artist.

Is there a midget basketball league? There should be, let Walton do commentary.

It seems like there is a revolving door where a word is deemed offensive, a new word is proposed, in five years this word is deemed offensive, and so on. In some cases the original word even becomes preferred again (“queer”).
It’s all so tiresome and pointless and feels like needless banter from people with nothing better to do in life than farm Reddit upvotes.

Good God he is so fricking obnoxious. I remember how political and hypocritical he was last year calling PAC12 games when they were still playing games in front of zero crowd. Bill blamed his co announcer for not caring about people when he said it was ridiculous they were still playing in front of no crowds while everyone else in the country had already returned to allowing fans.
And last night watched the Arizona game, he adds nothing to the broadcast. Just sounds like he’s trying to troll the entire time. “Conference of champions” probably came out of his mouth a few dozen times and arguing committee had an agenda (prob due to UCLA being on 2 line). Had to take a stab at Russia during broadcast too lol. First time I remember turning a game on mute in a long time.
Eta if he’s being called out by his own ilk, good. Letthemfight.gif

He should have used Lilliputian and nobody would know what the heck he was talking about.

If you watch a game called by Walton, he’s like the weird uncle you just ignore most of what he says.

It’s just more fascist “new speak”. As soon as everybody’s using the language they are demanding now they’ll change what’s acceptable to something else so they can get offended and attack people again. This is a never ending carousel.

This controversy dwarfs my problems.

They are midgets and dwarves just like really stupid people are morons and imbeciles.
Dainty talk does not change reality.
Calling someone a cancer patient is depressing. Let's go with person who feels really bad.
