ESPN going overboard on the PC/racist angle

Good grief everyone is so sensitive these dayshttp://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nca...comment/ar-AAjhjnw?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp

I'm not sure a reference to hanging should be used to describe anyone black or white. Poor choice of words regardless of race

Stick with hot seat. Too many broadcasters/journalists are searching for the best metaphors to set them apart.

Oh for the love of Jesus, Buddha and Mohammad H. tap-dancin' prophet....we are so freaking politically correct it's amazing we can carry on a conversation anymore. On the other hand this IS Texas we're talking about. So maybe Virk should have said that Charlie was coaching his way to a "necktie social"....

True. But, we know the narrative that is being advanced in America right now.

Poor use of words to be sure, but also being hammered too hard by the PC crowd.

The broadcaster was speaking off the cuff and said the first thing that came to mind. It wasn't malicious.

So execution by electric chair is fair game, but not by hangin'

Good to know!

Ive heard this phrase used before by journalists, but of course this time its shocking and racist.

Damn I wish they'd bring the electric chair back. Talk about a game changer and much more unpleasant than lethal injection.

Yes it is. 6 sheriff's-- 6 rifles- 5 bullets- one blank- nobody knows which is which. But the inmate has to request it.
