I mean, you hear the n-word and you turn around and you see either: 1. Two klansmen talking. 2. Two black people talking.
Do you interpret that word the same? I mean, the word is the same! By your account, you should react the same way both times.
let's take this a little farther. to something that is a bit more realistic.
case 1: two white guys are saying the n-word, and discussing its long-term implications for black people and how it shouldn't be used
case 2: two guys are talking about a black man shot by police and suggesting the "n-word" had it coming
that's closer to what we're looking at here
step away from the word. what happened here put simply was: "sports radio host came on show to talk about the worth of an ESPN female reporter. he was an asshole right away. the host cut his mic." full stop, those are the events that transpired
saying "his mic was cut for saying boobs" is removing the context. the issue isn't the word, the issue is that he went on the air and immediately suggested the value of a female reporter was primarily her body.
did it merit an article about it written by the host who cut him? nah. did it merit his mic getting cut? sure.
to be fair, what criteria do you think they use to hire female reporters in sports? I'm pretty sure looks (or boobs) are a factor, like it or not. I think there's also a legitimate argument that the hiring is based "primarily" on their bodies is not too ridiculous.
