The head of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, which monitors diversity in the NFL, expects the league to ins ute a rule where players would be penalized 15 yards for using the N-word on the field.
John Wooten, the head of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, anticipates that the NFL's compe ion committee will enact the rule at the owners' meeting next month.
Wooten, who previously has urged all players to stop using the N-word, thinks the NFL will rule an automatic 15-yard penalty for first-time offenders and an ejection for second infractions.
"I will be totally shocked if the compe ion committee does not uphold us on what we're trying to do," Wooten said, according to CBSSports.com. "We want this word to be policed from the parking lot to the equipment room to the locker room.
"Secretaries, PR people, whoever, we want it eliminated completely and want it policed everywhere."
Wooten thinks the compe ion committee will officially agree to the rule next month before presenting it to the owners.
"I think they're going to do what needs to be done here," he said. "There is too much disrespect in the game."
The soft wave continues...it's a term of endearment among brothas for chrissake
"Personal foul...nigger...15 yard penalty...first down."
Or Jerome Boger: "Persona fou... ...15 yawds, it be first down."
I'm loling saying it in my head in Ed Hochuli's voice.
unreal. even blacks will be forced to use the Canadian code word.
White-on-black will be a suspension, black-on-black will be a penalty
" personal foul, sharpton rule... number 68 ... 15 yds penalty "
Good rule
Just as funny as someone thinking Newton is better than Wilson tbh
thinking Cam couldn't do what Wilson did this year on a stacked team
What if someone uses mother er or piece of as insults on the field? Equal treatment right?
I hate to see the mean/vicious being ed with. Football is all about kicking ass.
Now it's going to be.....ref ref ref he called me a ******. Accused....nope! Then.....yes you did, then.....nope!
It's stupid!
it's a shame we still have bigots like this ^ still livin' in this great country. You know we have 'oldier 'ver 'n 'raq 'ightin' 'or 'er 'ight to 'ype 'at 'entence?
'ouldnt be 'ore 'roud to be 'murican 'fter 'eading 'bout this rule. Our forefathers 'ould be 'roud. I think the great thing about this country is our ability to tolerate others and respect change and I'm DAMN proud of that!
Time to go another......I mean write another song dedicated to the progress that this great Nation is making every single day!
