See the link below. From the article:

University of West Virginia head basketball coach Bob Huggins is in trouble after making homophobic slurs toward Xavier University fans during a recent radio appearance.

Huggins appeared on 700WLW’s "Bill Cunningham Show," a Cincinnati-based radio show, on Monday morning, and he was heard calling Xavier fans "all those f--s, those Catholic f--s" who would "throw rubber penises on the floor and then say they didn’t do it."”



I’m sure it’s all just a misunderstanding.

Students and Xavier get a pass for throwing those objects on the floor though?

Feel free to go after the kids. What's the punishment for throwing something on the court?

Why would you think Xavier needs a pass? A pass for what?

In Hug's defense, he was probably drunk.

The rivalry is real. Worth attending a game between the X-men and the Bearcats if you ever get a chance.

Slightly OT- Didn't the Oakland A's announcer get in trouble this weekend, too?
That was a flub, he just stumbled on his words. Yeah, he got in trouble (couldn’t let it slide, mistake or not), but he’ll be back.

Well they did miss the intended RICHARD in Huggins so they need to be punished for poor aim? So let me get this straight...a HC who is paid millions to mentor and coach kids has the same moral bar as college students. Sometimes people just take the stupid pill and defend away no matter what.

This just in:

Maverick screwed up just this much and flew a cargo plane full of rubber penises out of Hong Kong.

Yep....but you'll see some idiots defending him in some dumb way.
Those signing off on the "settlement" of the issue between Huggins and his employer include Fair WV and the ACLU, the two most prominent advocacy groups for the gay and lesbian community in West Virginia. I was on the fence as to whether he should be terminated (since there is precedent for such actions against other offenders) but if those groups are on board with the punishment then it can be argued that WVU made a fair decision.

Huggins has been in trouble before with WVU and the local community so the school is showing remarkable restraint. The cynic in me wonders if that restraint exists because of the loaded recruiting class he has coming in.

Ok - my pet peeve. WVU stands for West Virginia University. It is not UWV (University of West Virginia) as stated in the article. Why is this so hard?

I know, especially since it reinforces the negative stereotype that West Virginia is a little bit backwards.

Inconceivable! What are the odds of WVU finding a way to wash, rinse, and funnel that $1,000,000 reduction into an NIL account(s)?

I’m not shocked by any of it. I’m sure a killer class helps.
