He has plenty of time to have his own solo drinking team meetings now.

Is this a permanent ban? I don't think it was bad enough to get more than a week. He didn't use any racist word (such as the N word) . I think it was meant as a joke without realizing it sounded racist.

I gave him a week off. It ruffled a lot of people the wrong way, there were a number of complaints.

Did the comment get deleted?? I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to keep the comment up with an edit stating.. ban-worthy post...

Ironman went through and cleaned up the comments. They weren't heinous, just very racially charged and over the line. He said "he's black and from Texas, sign him up"... frankly, there is no room to be evaluating people in any way - positively or negatively - on skin color. That's just not really acceptable.

So then should we stop with Wes Welker/Danny Woodhead jokes in general?

I don't mean to bash him but him and I use to go at it all the time. I always thought he was kind of nuts

I understand that the line seems arbitrary, and it can be hard to draw the line sometimes. But this really isn't one of those cases.

Joking about Wes Welker is just that... a joke. And it's mocking analysts more than anything.

Saying "he's black... sign him up" or any variation of that (he's black, don't sign him up or he's white, don't sign him up or etc.) is just not acceptable. Where is the joke? Even in italics, it comes close to crossing the line as I still don't see where the "joke" is. It's simply a racially charged comment without apparent comedic value or reason, and it justifiably bothered a lot of people.

Just use your best judgement.

Heady Topper. If you like IPA's, it's the best hands down. One of the only 100% grades per beeradvocate.com.

th


@Pat - I've been to Avery's more times than I can count. You would hate them. Bunch of flip flop wearing, tree huggin', peacemongerin', hippies. I love them on the other hand.
