Anyone else watch PTI this afternoon on ESPN? In a discusssion with Tony K. on whether Cam deserved to be fired, the topic got to whether Bill Belichick could have won more than 1 game with this team. Dan Lebetard was getting kinda heated up, and said no way Belichick could have won with a "mormon quarterback" and a MEXICAN reciever.

That is now a racial slur?
-
he also said a Samoan fullback.
I actually emailed ESPN about it cause there's no place for it -
It might not be a slur but he did not have to get religion or race involved.
-
Yeah, I saw the same thing and it was really in bad taste. He should be BAM!!!! Kicked off the air. This guy just simply pisses me off when I see him on the show.

Golly Gee Whillickers are you guys over sensitive or what!? I could care less about that fat cuban, but what he said was in no way a racial slur...
-
-
no way will philly win anything with a black qb
sounds pretty racist to me...lets be equal on all fronts to all races, not just blacks -
Exactly, he was making the point that no one, not even Bellicheck, could win with a Morman at QB, a Samoan at FB, and a Mexican WR. He was suggesting, IMO, that these types of people were not good enough football players to win with. That, I thought, was borderline racial and at least in very bad taste. This guy is just an idiot. -
Mormons as far as I'm aware are a religous group not a race.
Mexicans are from the country of Mexico, and are not a race, and are mostly a mix of Amercan Indian and Spanish (caucasian) races.
Samoans are members of the Polynesian race who come from the Island of Samoa.
So whatever he said it definitely wasn't racist -
Is this something you are OK with, Racial and Religious slurs? Please, enlighten me, I'm VERY interested to hear your response... -
if you guys ever listened to his show....he has named multiple times the dolphins "lead the league" in samoans......and has had those same somoans at his show sponsered movie events.....
he has asked john beck himself, how it funny it is to be on a team with "mormans and somoans" beck laughed at it and answered with something funny....
And after camarillos game winning TD catch he had "greg camarillo" day and asked who was the best mexicans in the NFL......
How in anyway is him saying those things "Racial Slurs" ?!?!? This is america....its reasons like some people on this board that cry about him saying "a mexican reciever and mormon quaterback" that we have censored EVERYTHING in this country....if the MEN HE IS TALKING ABOUT dont have a problem with it.....infact they laugh about it....and make appearances at HIS shows.....why do you?!?!? heres a statement for you.....its not racist or anything i promise....."GET OVER IT".....in a world where gas prices are through the roof, the economy is horrible and we have soldiers dying everyday in foreign countries.......THIS is what we cry about?!?! "a mexican reciever...and a mormon quaterback"..........
WOW
and for the record, if it was SO bad....in this laughing stock of a censored country....ESPN would have edited it out.....its a taped show -
LeBatard just said that he is catching hell from ESPN.
He is on with Mortensesn on 790 right now. -
-
Im or irish decent....i dont "get offended" when people always stero type us as drunk people with anger issues......its life, get over it.....get a hobby

Congratulations! She WAS offended bye it....other mexicans (including the one he was talking about) are NOT offended....they dont share the same views.......you crying about it on here...is whats uncalled for -
See here's why I'm offended. How he said it made it sound like we are bad because of our minorities.
For those who don't see the big deal, fine. But if he said the same thing except Mormon was Black, he'd be fired already. -
Without having heard the comments I'm not prepared to venture a firm opinion as to whether this was relatively harmless joking or something more offensive. On paper the comments look very bad. -
We should all just learn from Ricky and find inner peace and love through medication, I mean meditation. It's hard to hate when you're high...unless Taco Bell's closed then it's on!!!!:bighug:

hes speaking of the IRONY.....of having a morman QB, and SAMOAN fb, and a mexican reciever....its funny......its a insane mix you dont see everyday in the nfl.....its RUNNING joke on his radio show....sense they were drafted, and these same men think its funny and do show appearances for him.....so why is it not a problem for the VERY MEN HE IS TALKING ABOUT.....but it is for some people on here? its hilarious to think about

For gosh's sakes...knock it off.

Yeah its REAL HILARIOUS for someone of MEXICAN DESCENT to be offended by it, but apparently since someone of IRISH descent doesnt find anything wrong with it, it's ok, huh? [mod] completely out of line[/mod]Last edited by a moderator: Jan 3, 2008 -

...stretch IMHO...fact is Beck is Mormon, Mauia is Samoan, and Camarillo is of Mexican heritage.......are we that sensitive...and I could care less one way or the other about Lebbie.......
