You all are taking what we are saying and making it something else. Is the Military and athletics the same? No. But, the structure is the same. Don't take one point and make it something that it's not just for the purpose of proving us wrong. That's a common debating tactic when you have no other argument.

Really? Seriously? You have to know that the military is it's own world. Much happens in the military that wouldn't be allowed in the civilian world.

 

And you have to know that high level elite athletics is its own world as well. This isn't Trinity football, it's a multi billion dollar business. Jones is an adult that has clearly decided to go on his own over listening to his coaches message. Some would say that makes him a selfish MFer...

C'mon. Don't even start that crap. I replied specificaly to specific posts. I have not used hyperbole, and I'm not the one who even brought the military into it. I simply pointed out it's not apples to apples.

 

And, you guys are acting like I'm demonizing Calipari, which is not the case either. I am simply stingently opposed to using profanity in the course of any kind of conversation. But it is especially true in professional relationships.

Then, if it's a multi billion dollar business the "managers" need to behave in a professional manner toward their "employees". In a buisness world, Jones would have grounds to sue Calipari.

And the wussification continues....

I don't know of anyone who would sue their employer because their "poor little feelings" got hurt...:idunno:

For those of you that say it's wrong, I'm assuming you feel that it's wrong for NBA coach's to do it to their players as well? Lebron, Kobe, Durant etc can't handle it?

There are laws against that type of behavior and language. They fall under the harrassment laws.

I have said numerous times in this thread that NO one should curse at another person. This isn't about being able to handle it or getting one's feelings hurt. It's amazing to me how you guys can't see that!

I've always had the belief that they are just words. Now, I know that if I use them at my job I can get fired so I don't just sling them whenever. However, they've never upset me when someone used them toward me.

It's way too utopian of a viewpoint for the real world to think curse words aren't a part of the majority of people's everyday language.

Wondering how many here wouldn't have a problem with thier boss calling them a MFer?

Serious question - do you think the views are greatly influenced by gender? I do.
