Well the hate factor has been entrenched for a while but it seems that the revenge attitude is beginning to emerge full flower.

I would never intentionally throw out a racial remark to anyone but I also feel I can’t be held liable to know every derogatory term in the world. I know there may sometimes when words that have multiple meanings in various cultures but what puzzles me is why anyone would think I would know the meaning and intent of something that is literally foreign to every other culture. I still have no idea what the term means in the elsewhere planet and I’m not sure I want to know. It something I try to avoid. The only other ways I have heard it used is with Jack Frost nipping at your nose and drunks nipping from a bottle.
Words are funny sometimes, no matter which choice of word is used to describe certain things or people, it always devolves into an offensive slur that causes a new word to take its place, only to be repeated again and again

Take "retard" for example, it replaced idiot which think replaced the word imbecile which I think replaced the word moron

per wikipedia:

the term retard (which originated as a neutral substitute for the terms that had previously designated those with disabilities, namely idiot, imbecile, and moron) has come to be considered offensive
kind of funny imo

You probably don’t know but I have a daughter with Down’s syndrome and I call her a retard all the time. Same with my “normal” son. But I only call them that when they do retarded things.

It’s just a fucking word.

Just innocuous silly little words, yet we censor the n-word here.

Even Emmitt the Cardinal caught the fan’s wrath for revenge. Cheered when Roy williams gave him a shoulder injury to knock him out of the game. Why wouldnt a coach who squandered the best years of the franchise’s best QB with only one playoff win?

He won’t get a standing ovation at our stadium when he runs onto the field for the first time.

1. Which free agent Cowboy player(s) does Garrett sign? Amari Cooper? Jason Witten?

2. Does Jerruh get fleeced in a trade?

I’ve had term retard thrown around at my feet a few times from certain individuals fairly recently. My take is that folks that express themselves in this manner just didn’t learn enough of the language to adequately describe their thought process. But it takes all kinds I guess.

So what?

This asshole was not like Campo or Phillips or really any other crap coach in our history.

He literally sucked the life out of the franchise for a decade and brought nothing but mediocrity, failure and misery.

I would hope the hate factor kicks in for anyone who respects the history of this franchise.

You are a rarity.

In today's society, that gets people chastised, fired you name it.

No so what about it. It’s an observation not a judgement.

How much do y’all want to bet that our first game next season is against the Giants? Or our last game?

People give words power. The word itself holds none until some pathetic idiot bestows upon it said power with their weak pussy ass mentality. Or, more accurately, trying to play the victim.

All you got to do is get the Giants in 3rd and 10 and GARRETT will call a play to the slowest player on the field 2 yards out.
You mean a screen to the slowest player on the field.
