posted by BR1986FBIs it just me or when Ted Stepien was involved, and did that stupid softball drop from Terminal Tower, did it remind you of the Turkey Drop, with Les Nessman, on WKRP in Cincinnati?
I didn’t watch WKRP back in the day. Now Pete Franklin.....I listened to him all the time!

The players? Or the public backlash? I’d fire him because he is going to lose the locker room (if he hasn’t already).

All of it. He clearly isn't racist, so the backlash is stupid, and he probably DID misspeak. Someone leaked it on purpose. Are there not white people on the team?
I've been called worse by a coach and have heard worse. Of course in 2020 this is a story.

More so the public backlash.
I agree that he should probably be fired because the players didn't like him before this but not for using "thugs."
The term "thug" has been around forever but now it supposedly only has a racist connotation?
Hockey players (a mostly Caucasian sport) have been "goons" and "thugs" since the 70's/80's and likely before. Back when the Cavs had Price, Daugherty, Hot Rod, etc, Bill Laimbeer (white guy) of the Pistons was known as one of the biggest thugs in the league but now it's racist to be called a thug or to have an NBA team have an "owner." Bunch of triggered bitches.
I'm sure the social media "justice warriors", likely lead by Lebron James, will make sure some 66 year old coach who slipped up and used thug instead of slug (which makes a helluva lot more sense) will lose his job over this. If anyone knew the history of the Cavs, they'd know he wasn't referring to them as thugs because the Cavs are THE softest bunch in NBA history (throughout their existence).
I just can't wait for woke Kerr to chime in.
He didn’t misspeak. Come on. At best, he said slug but slurred/didn’t annunciate and everyone thought he said thug. There is no way you say thug when you mean slow and lethargic/slug.

Why would he say "nice to see you aren't still playing like a bunch of thugs" when a) he supposedly meant slow & lethargic and b) unless I've missed something, the 2019/2020 version is as soft as the previous groups so thugs would be stupid to say.
God I hope he isn’t fired for this

Why would you misspeak a word that doesn’t even start remotely the same? The two words aren’t really interchangeable in speech. I can’t really beleive someone would mix them up. Who calls someone a slug, anyway lol?

Exactly and the coach is 66 so it's not a stretch.
So want if said slug or thug? He should have said "little bitches." Thug is not ni***r Get over it.
I’m not arguing what he said wasn’t bad. I’m saying he is lying to cover it up.

And I asked a couple of my kids who are in their late 20’s if they ever heard someone be called a slug.
Answer: no

You're a little older than me but we're cut from the same cloth. I probably use the term slug 3-4x's per week. lol
