Wow I can't believe some of the responses in this thread. Dez got called a racial slur in front of teammates as well as the rest of the media. Aren't these reporters professionals? Then act like it. Act like a professional. That is just so disrespectful to do that to a man. Inexcusable and whoever said it shouldn't be allowed back. HOW DARE YOU. All you people criticizing Dez I'd love to see how you react when someone calls you a slur like that. Dez did exactly what any human would've done. You can't stand for or accept that. This isn't about football or winning games it's about such a level of agregious disrespect.

This is absolutely ridiculous and it shouldn't happen. I feel terrible for Dez. All this idiots in the media will take this and use it against him and make him the bad guy once again. This has happened so many times and it's never been Dez's fault. When he was yelling on the sideline he wasn't doing anything that a Tom Brady or someone like that does. He was being emotional and passionate about the game of football. He was encouraging and being a leader. He is a great player, a great guy and person. It's so messed up how he's portrayed.

Dez is my favorite player. He's GREAT, big time, the best in the game and he loves the game of football. Works exceptionally hard and just is an incredible competitor. The media can **** off for all I care. They're pathetic, sacks of ****. They really are. They write all these bs stories, make things up on the fly and have the audacity to disrespect players and then wonder why they go off. I support Dez. He did what I would've done. You don't do that. You just don't. It's not right and something has to happen. He's clearly not 100 percent you see him making excuses? He's still out there giving it everything he has and making plays. Like great players do. I'm sorry Dez you don't deserve this kind of BS treatment from the media or anyone else. This guy went through hell just to get to the NFL much less become one of the best players in the game and that right there just speaks to what kind of man and player he is. Never made any excuses. He's matured and grown up before our eyes, become better and better and better.

Excuse me, isn't JJT black?

I have a very tough time believing JJT would have called Dez the N Word.

I have a tough time believing ANY reporter would use the n-word toward a player.

These are the minds of children.

Dude, it didn't happen. And even if it did, JJT is black. That shouldn't matter, but I'm told it does. I don't even know anymore.

Best I can tell from my admittedly upper-midwestern, caucasian, and naive perspective is that the the word is sometimes used as a term of endearment between African American men.

I don't even know why reporters are allowed in the locker room with so much access these days. If I owned the team I would severely restrict them. Most of these reporters have the talent level of a donkey with a recorder strapped to their face anyway.

These players are human beings. I'm not releasing Dez from blame but if you constantly jam a recorder in someones face and ask inflammatory questions then guys are going to snap. They 100% did this with TO once they smelled clickbait. He's one example that would have been much more successful in the league without the media barrage. If you don't think some of the 90's personalities wouldn't have done well with 24/7 access you're kidding yourself.

Were you there? No you weren't. I'll take Dez's word over yours. What difference does it make if he's black? You don't say that to someone's face in the locker room in front of anybody. That's just disrespectful.

:rolleyes: You are being pretty naive then and you said in another post that JJT is black so there is no way it couldn't happen which is ridiculous as well. A black person calling another black person the n word is used very often.

I've been told the word can and is used to indicate respect between black men.

Is there a rule book out there somewhere? Mirky waters.

That's not true for every black person. Regardless to say that in front of everyone is inexcusable and whoever said it needs to be at the very least suspended.
