I still don't follow you, Axxon. I still don't understand how you know she was thinking in racial terms in using the word. Maybe she was just oblivious to the racial overtones of the word. Maybe she was just guilty of not knowing the word might be offensive to some people. I certainly did not know until all the publicity broke about the Jena Six incident, that many blacks see nooses as racial symbols, for example.

And you seem to think that those who don't think she should have been suspended think it was perfectly okay for her to say what she said. I don't see that either.

As for the cannibalism issue, cannibalism is to me on a different order of magnitude than a sportscaster saying something stupid.
