Punishment Announced For MLB Announcer Who Said N-Word

While this was uncalled for and inappropriate, it's funny that swift action was taken. Meanwhile, mass shootings are cropping up with nothing but thoughts and prayers. Something is inherently wrong here.

Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

If "the word is painful and has no place in our society", why are we so OK with rappers and comedians using it with impunity?

Well, SOME rappers and comedians!

AMIGOS!! as Elton John said in the 1975 song "Grow Some Funk Of Your Own" (AMIGOS) from the album "Rock Of The Westies" (thought that Elton said "Negros"). Song went to # 14 (Hot 100) in March of 1976. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6epw8_7 ... John-Topic

I've been listening a lot to the Rock of the Westies album lately. Elton would probably be crucified today for both "Island Girl" and "Grow Some Funk of Your Own".
