Squeeing like a (sports) fanboy
Jun. 22nd, 2006 09:25 pmRadio host Mike Felger: "Now we've go Bill on the line, and he wants to talk about Ozzie Guillen.
Me: "Hey, Mike. First-time, long-time. I understand your point that reporters have to deal with people they whack, but it's the word that bothers me. I don't think the reporter would use the word that begins with "s" to talk about Hispanic players, and no one's gonna use the n-word. It's not so much the criticism, it's the word."
Mike: "Thanks for the call, Bill.
Mike: "Ya know, I agree on the word. That's just not a word you use . . .
Mike's sidekick: "Yeah, I agree. You can criticize, but you should being using that word."
I WAS ON THE FRICKING RADIO!!!!!
Driving up Beacon Street!
The word is "fag," but it apparently doesn't bother the stupidhead commissioner that much because he only fined Guillen for calling a sports writer (who I guess is an asshole) a "fag."
