Stop acting like everyone uses those words.  They don't.  The people who can't stop themselves from using those words as insults have a problem.  It is that simple.

Using a slur when you are talking to friends/co-workers "off air" because he thought the mic was off versus working people into a fever to kill those who are different?

Seriously Fred, you don't see the huge difference here?

The Klan, is hate speech, they want to hurt and kill people who are different. Hitler wanted to kill people. Thom, clearly doesn't like gay people... oh well... he didn't come out and say they shouldn't be alive, and they need to be killed.

Hell, maybe he dislikes them due to a religious belief, maybe it's because he is a sportscaster surrounded by jocks who have that "manly code" and use slurs all the time, or maybe he doesn't think it, and said it to try and be funny and fit in.

No one knows why he said it, but it once again... is just a word. Not a rally, not trying to hurt anyone or strike people down.

It's funny to me, the "cancel culture" and "woke" people are starting to be more like the historical groups they hate. If you think differently then them, you shouldn't be allowed to work, provide for your family or even exist.... that type of speech sounds kinda familiar... hmmmm when did I remember hearing this type of talk.... 

Also, let me state this once again. I disagree with the use of the slur, I disagree with discrimination, but to crucify the guy over a word is just pathetic.

A month suspension without pay is more then enough here.
