So my first thought was, okay, let's see what she said. If she's going to lose her livelihood over this, I assume her comments were egregious.

Here's what she said:

quote:

Hatchell, among the winningest coaches in women's college basketball history, this season allegedly suggested her players would be "hanged from trees with nooses" if they didn't improve their play,

What, people can't apologize anymore and just move on? I wonder who was behind this? I can't imagine it was the players, but maybe. Who knows?

That is rather harsh and ignorant. She should know better.

Next time just say you'll slice them apart and pour lemon juice in the open gashes. It gets the same point across.

Hanging black people should be illegal.

Or people need to toughen up and quit being cry babies.

Poor choice of words, absolutely but to get so "offended" by it, GTFO here with that BS.

I don't know about harsh. It's hyperbole. She's not ACTUALLY going to hang them.

Insensitive? Sure. But can't she just acknowledge that, apologize, and everybody moves on with their lives? She has to lose her job over this?

I don’t know anything about her, but I don’t believe for a second she said what was quoted.

I see that aa a form of dark humor - (dark in the universal sense, not pigment associated) {God I hate having to speak in legalese}

There is a legitimate place for dark humor when you are emphasizing a point.

It's the same as saying "that'll cost you an arm and a leg"

I LITERALLY - meaning i really really really - HATE this pusillanimous constraints on language === ESPECIALLY when it goes one way.

Any group of leftists can follow someone around yelling RACIST!! and interfere with his pursuit of happiness all day long and send death threats to his family, yet be celebrated for their "courage" === or the president of the US can be called TRAITOR!!! - TREASONOUS!!! - BIGOT!!! - RACIST!!! by esteemed members of congress and the entertainment industry and spread to all over the CNN/MSNBC?etal 'newscasts" and win awards.

But God help us if someone utters an insensitive remark which is obviously mere an play on words.

Piss on this modern era that attaches freedom of expression while simultaneously vomiting hateful dogshit attacks 24/7 with complete impunity

Fwiw, she denies saying it. She says that she said "hang you out to dry."

That's a legit frick-up. The way that is written, it could be construed as a threat.

I don't care about the racial component, it's just a really stupid thing to say

It's also a phrase that wouldn't come naturally to anyone, so I doubt she actually said that anyway

This sub melts when people make Katrina jokes, so why are you defending this?

Are you learning impaired or just a troll?

I said she should apologize and everyone should move on.

Have someone read my words to you and explain them to you.
