True, but why should I presume that the speaker doesn’t want the insult to be noticed?
He said “The sheriff is near!”
Can’t you see that that man is a nit?

If you work for any institution that cares about its public image, and you have a high profile in said institution, one simple rule: When the microphone is on you, don’t talk about inflammatory crap. Don’t talk about how black athletes have better leg muscles. Don’t talk about how that actress or lawyer or sideline reporter dresses like a whore. Don’t talk about how so-and-so should’ve been raped in prison. Don’t talk about how kids these days don’t get spanked enough. JUST. DON’T. Heck, it’s not like a putz like you knows a goddam thing about the subject anyway. If you do have to spew BS, do it quietly and in a place where there is zero chance of it being recorded.

There are very, very few people in this world who can say whatever they damn want with zero blowback. The First Amendment to the Constitution does not free anyone from the consequences of being a blabbering moron. If you don’t want to be subjected to un-American politically correct bedwetting crybaby liberal girly-girly sissitude, don’t join an organization that has those values. It’s that simple.

Good riddance. I’m sick of that song. (Never mind how HWJ butchered it about 200 ways from Monday.)
How long before ESPN has “You could write our next football song!” contest? It’d be a cool move.
Any idea how much they paid Williams?
You shouldn’t, but you *should *presume that the speaker has an interest in *not *appearing to be a prissy little git who can’t take responsibility for his/her own words. Or at least you should presume the speaker not to be aware of how that silly little pretense comes off.
