He's not a victim. I can't think of any other job outside of entertainment that he wouldn't have been fired immediately. Those types of things are one and dones at any big business. He's got a job because he's elite at entertaining people. That's the one and only reason he kept his job

Ousted to "Head Coach in Waiting". Got it.

Exactly, funny he is saying that.

If you think scalley didn’t go through hell with that situation I don’t know

Yeah he seems more classy than Whitt. I hope he can end the toxicity.

His name was vilified. It continues to haunt him even today.

He got all that stuff back pretty quick after the incident and I doubt a million

I think Manti is simply pointing out the hypocrisy of some in that fanbase

What exactly price did he pay??

Nov 21, 11:02pm

Didn’t it cost him more than a million dollars or something?

No, more like a 100k for about a year. To recover from the financial penalty.

He's a dork, but he doesn't deserve to be canceled over what he did

Jericho

Sounds like he didn’t pay anything. See above.

He did, especially in mental anguish and distress

I don't know, sounds like snowflake logic to me. Total beta stuff to be

Can we please stop bringing this up? It’s not a good look for us.

I can’t believe I’m about to defend a Ute and the n-word

You said the n-word a lot growing up? I never did, nor do I recall any of my peers. Well, my non-black peers.

It’s insanely common even today. Have siblings that just graduated from a UT HS

11 years ago was too recent for a man in his 30's to be using the N word and not get backlash. This is laughably

Sure. Okay 🙄

It’s kind of insane that you assume everyone uses the N-word. Lol.

I don’t think “everyone” USES it. I think many have USED it

Those of you who are shocked about this

AFtotheNW

Exactly. It’s edgy and coarse, but was not as bad as the f-word back then

It’s always been worse than the f-word

140 years after Huck Finn was written, there’s no excuse for using the n-word

13 years and 140 years are the same according to reddead's "data"
