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.

Little People of America (LPA) called Walton’s use of the term “m—-t” on the mic “deplorable and inexcusable” in a statement to TMZ on Friday.
“Those who use the term midget or any terminology that further stigmatizes people born with dwarfism are asked to educate themselves to eradicate this word,” LPA officials said.
The organization also demanded an apology from the former All-Star center.
“Little People of America is asking Bill Walton to issue an apology and vow to use appropriate terminology rooted in respect and dignity going forward.”
LPA also implored they hope Pasch “will speak up against disparaging language in solidarity with our organization fighting for disability equity and justice.”

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

I laughed way harder at this than I probably should have.

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.

I can't stand Bill Walton with the heat of 800 hells but this is just stupid.

Am I the only one who finds the term “little people” to be far more offensive than the term midget? I really don’t understand this one

I agree that being offended about the word is silly but wow you went off the deep end here

Never made sense to me either. Calling someone a "little person" has negative connotations beyond simply stature, whether they're a midget or not.
