Not sure how WV can justify keeping him…. I'm sure they'll find a loophole
Refraining from using that word, and receiving consequences if you do, isn't "woke." It's basic human decency.TXBEAR_bf said:
Pretty expensive choice of words. If this would have been at UT or Berkeley he would have been gone as there would have been massive protests. Huggins is old school, and old school doesn't work in this new woke school world. It was a mistake to be sure, but if this is the first time he has used language like this he deserves some grace.
Everyone has a different definition of decency. I would also say it's basic human decency to forgive and move on...ctxbear said:Refraining from using that word, and receiving consequences if you do, isn't "woke." It's basic human decency.TXBEAR_bf said:

Sources: WVU and coach Bob Huggins are finalizing details for him to return to the sideline next season in the wake of him using an anti-gay slur in a radio interview earlier this week. He's expected to receive a suspension, $1 million salary reduction and sensitivity training. pic.twitter.com/w2VSVrl22p

The moral of the story is:
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) May 10, 2023
If a play by play guy says a homophobic slur on the radio, his career is over immediately.
If a Hall of Fame basketball coach says the same slur on the radio, AND disparages the Catholic religion: Three games.
"Cracker"? Do you live in an episode of Good Times? I haven't heard that word used in years.fadskier said:
You can't say "fa*s" or the "N" word, but calling white people cracker, etc is just fine.
Sounds like gays need to get a thick skin and harden their feelings...

West Virginia is one of the reddest states..I certainly wouldn't call them woke.
There's no Woke Police out there writing tickets for politically incorrectness. West Virginia..the school..answers to it's fans..alumni..and constituents..so they can do whatever the hell they want as far as punishing him
Huggins will be required to meet with LGBTQ+ leaders from across West Virginia with guidance from the leadership of WVU's LGBTQ+ Center. We want to partner with ACLU-WV, Fairness WV, Morgantown Pride and other organizations to elevate the conversation regarding the issues that… https://t.co/9ajRxkqP8S

Who feeds? WVA fans? Or the administration? Look it up if you don't believe me .That's a red state..and those inbred hillbillies are the worst in the Big 12.. they chanted the most despicable things to our basketball team after the Briles scandal .
We have our issues..and everyone likes to pile on Mack and Linda for the stupidest **** ..but I'm proud I'd never see our fans act like that OR any of our coaches do what that drunk ass Huggins did. And ain't no state redder than us. Everything isn't about being woke or liberal .it's just being a decent human being.
And it's a false equivalency to begin with. No white person is really offended by the word cracker. To equate it with words created and used by the majority to dehumanize already marginalized populations is absurd.ctxbear said:"Cracker"? Do you live in an episode of Good Times?
