He made a very racist and ageist comment by generalizing all white men over age 40. He should be the one going to HR and being fired. You made fun a sports person who choked on the biggest stage and then hid behind his hood in the post-game interview. Not one thing in your story was racist from your point of view.

If the OP's HR department is worth a damn, they won't pursue any action. So ridiculous for that guy to be offended.


This is correct, but again, depends on where he works.

My old company couldn't care less. The company before that would have fired the white guy on the spot.

No disrespect to you, but you don't understand how this works.

You're not wrong, Walter.
You're just an a-hole.



Seriously, frick Cam.
Not for losing, but for bitching-out during his presser.

No class cam deserves all the derision he gets for the next month or more.

Tell him you'll get him a Prius for his troubles. He probably got offended by their commercial too.

If only they realized Cam is not the first or only black QB.


Very few (if any) of the ones that came before him ran their mouths the way Cam does. They were pretty much professional in their attitudes.

Cam's been an arrogant POS since he got over at Auburn. People tend to forget that he ended up at Auburn after stealing and destroying a laptop at UF.

Double edged sword. I don't know that I could work for a company long term that backed the type of attitude the OP's subordinate has. Seems like a shitty environment to work in.

I was at a Super Bowl party last night where all the white men above 40 were going for the Broncos. And by the end of the game they were all calling him a ni****. So I actually do believe all white men above 40 don't like cam because they are in fact racist. I'm 23 and white btw

So you come to one of the most racist sites to ask a question about race and work bc you need affirmation from other racist people that what you did wasn't wrong?

BTW, what Breesus said was spot on. If you're in a position to be over people, you simply don't do unprofessional shite like this.
