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

I'm not sure what the steep price he paid was

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

What exactly price did he pay??

Blue for Life

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

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

He did, especially in mental anguish and distress

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

I can’t believe I’m on a message board w/ people who defend the n word. What am I doing here?

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

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