Robert Griffin III used the word "jigaboo" a couple weeks ago on national tv but he's black and the press yawned.

dec 30 202 NC State radio broadcaster Gary Hahn has been suspended indefinitely after referencing “illegal aliens” in El Paso Texas while announcing the Sun Bowl score during the Wolfpack’s Duke’s Mayo Bowl loss to Maryland on Friday.

Hahn, an employee of Learfield Communications, the NC State broadcast rightsholder, has been disciplined by that company, according to a statement from Wolfpack Sports Properties general manager Kyle Winchester sent to the USA TODAY Network

“Learfield has suspended Wolfpack Sports Network play-by-play announcer Gary Hahn indefinitely following comments made during today’s Duke’s Mayo Bowl radio broadcast,” the statement read.

During the broadcast, Hahn can be heard saying “down among all the illegal aliens in El Paso it’s UCLA leading Pitt” while giving the score of the Sun Bowl. Hahn was the North Carolina Sportscaster of the Year in 2011 and 2020 and has been the voice of NC State football and men’s basketball since 1991.

What is wrong with "illegal alien". That is exactly what they are. It's not a racial slur. "Cracker" is a racial slur and Bill Maher is allowed to call white people that all the time on national tv.

I smell a lawsuit. This is outrageous.

If a white man said that he'd be fired within the hour and no one else would hire him - it would be an instant and total blacklist. If anything is done to griffin it won't be much.

"You will be hurt for saying the wrong thing" is rapidly becoming "You will be hurt if you dont say what you have been instructed to say" as the Revolution consolidates power.

Learfield communications is a private company and can choose to employ whoever they choose.

You do not believe private companies should have a choice as to who they employ and how the people they employ speak on their Network?

Really? Walmart is a private company too. Suppose they refused to hire blacks. You would defend that??

 

[Text Drivers are Killers]

It appears the media demands all illegal aliens be called "migrants. Pretty soon even that euphemism will be banned and we'll have to call them "citizens".

At this point I would be okay with that, the change has happened and the consumer would put Walmart out of business, not the government.

There must have been more to it than that. He was bashing both aliens and El Paso - which is a cool town, by the way, I'm headed there now.

Like what? Provide a link.

More white greivance. Exactly. The Sportscaster was being an asshole about it, he didn't just say, "illegal alien", he said, "down in El Paso among all the illegal aliens". He was trashing El Paso. They should have given him a chance to apologize - so there must have been other stuff going on that being the last straw.

He apologized. He claimed he meant to say, "bugaboo" and I believe him. You're just wrong.

"Robert Griffin III recently apologized after using the term “jigaboos” during ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown pregame show coverage between the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals.

While discussing Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ performance against the New York Giants, Griffin stated, ” People said that Jalen Hurts couldn’t get it done. He could not break from the pocket. He’s not the quarterback of the future,” Griffin said. “I think he proved all those jigaboos wrong.”

Based on the context in which he used the word, it makes sense. Your whataboutism fails, son.
