How about this curveball.  Some podcaster, denouncing what Huggins said played on his podcast the full interview to show the context of Huggins slurs.

The parent company that owned the platform of the podcaster, told him he is no longer able to be a podcaster on their platform.  Zero Tolerance regarding "Hate Speech" regardless if he was using Huggins interview to denounce it!

What weird times we live in.

 

Reminds me of some books in school libraries that can't be read aloud in public forums.  

We definitely live in weird times.

I wish I could add a poll this conversation:

a) Truly just an honest slip of the tongue, bad humor mistake?

b) Huggins showing his true colors?

I am going with B, looks like @nkypeteis with me on B, @Voice of Reasonis going with A

 

What's the old saying? When someone tells you who they are you should believe them.

The reality is using the slur he used was commonplace (for better or worse) up until not long ago. And that's fine, but this shows he is so out of touch with the world and has not evolved or he simply does not care. I can't decide which is worse.

Or both. ?‍♀️

I've always respected Huggins because he calls things as he sees them. But with that being said, I know of no other coach who gets the publicity he does with the results he's had over the last thirty some years. He's had zero championships and only 2 final fours. Ky. fans would have sold his house by now.?

HE gets the positive publicity he gets because he wines and dines the sports reporters, much like Bill Self. I honestly can't believe he wasn't fired with cause. Defenders will say " He's losing 3 million dollars", I respond with "What is 3 million over the course of 30 years getting paid serious money?". I am a union employee and I would be extremely hard pressed not to lose my job if I dropped that F bomb in front of the wrong people. 

That being said, what if he would've used any other religion instead of Catholicism?

Darn, Huggins and Self must be very busy wining and dining all the sports reporters.

Huggins making WVU look good again!

Nearly 3 times the .08 level of intoxication at .210.

 No way he keeps his job now.    Another DUI shows he hasn’t learned a thing after his first pop in Cincinnati.  Can’t teach an old dog new tricks, you just fire them.  

What a train wreck. 

C-ya Huggs!

Like I posted in May, he's his own worst enemy.  I was surprised he survived the prior issue, no way he survives now.

Looks like this could be the end for Huggins.
