    That's a really, really intelligent thing to do.

    Not trying to start anything, but would they have done something if this was say something extremely hurtful about McCain or Palin if this had been the case? I'm guessing no!

    Punishment was fair tough. Hopefully he'll get another shot at the team next year.

    What about the 4 letter C word that will get you infraction points here on the board?

    And opps I forgot that this is clearly a Black/White issue in most people's mind. Nothing hurtful worth banning/dismissal/SS intervention/etc. can ever be said to a white person. One black person can say this word to another black person and it's cool, but OMG if a white person says it it becomes the worst word known to man times infinity +1. People call Bush a nazi(One of the worst regimes in history if not the worst, the raped, killed, and enslaved it's own citizens) and it's cool, but don't ever ever say a word that is used by certain people all the time from one to another.

    I grew up right and was taught that you don't say the word no matter what happens, even though I have never done anything to hold anyone down socially or physically. Some of my best friends are Black, but this will clearly remain a damn race issue.

    I furthur my point as everything envolved in this being a race issue if it is at all hurtful to Obama by what I heard on Fox news the other day about something done for Halloween which was a hanging Palin manican(sp) which was fine, but OMG but when someone was found to have done this to an Obama one they are getting charged with a hate crime. But clearly this is not a race issue and there are no double standards ever.

    The hippocracy in America today is disgusting! People call Bush a nazi(One of the worst regimes in history if not the worst, the raped, killed, and enslaved it's own citizens) and it's cool.

    So go ahead and Neg rep me, I don't give a flying fug, this is a message board and something stupid called the internet.

    So what the Backup Center said was wrong and maybe he should have been sat out for say the next year and a half to think about his choice of words or even had his Scholorship taken from him to teach him a lesson, but since this is what it is he is getting extra punishment.

    Lastly even though I dislike(cause I can't say the 4 letter H word as the Gov't may come after me for saying this or I may get banned from SI) Barrack Obama I'll respect him as the leader of our Gov't until he is out of office as long as he doesn't impose on my view of religion, which pretty much would have to be Obama and the Government telling me your country or God with a gun pointed to my head waiting for an answer, which isn't gonna happen.

    I gaurantee you if this guy had said Palin was a white nazi, and then added every degrading hurtful thing that can be said to a person this never would have been a story.

    Double standards suck, but in this case, I think this kid is getting exactly what he deserves.
