      Jeremy. You are being wildly insincere. Why did you use this word? Let’s get to the heart of it.

          Are you really using a article from nine years ago to justify what you said. You may not have meant to say it on air, but it was said with overwhelmingly familiarity. Time... makes a difference and racism is no longer tolerated.

          Very insincere. You don’t just fumble over words & say that. It was already on your mind. Must use it frequently if you’re accidentally spewing it out on live tv. Definitely not a coincidence

          Incredulous that you decisively claim insincerity from that sound bite without serious consideration of language processing and speech. I said to my wife while shopping, "Don't forget the crapples". We needed crape-paper and a pineapple desert for our daughter's B-day party.

          Bs example. Nothing that he said after "king" had anything in it related to "coon". I could see if he had to say "soon" after that but he didn't and I'm sure those that fired him reviewed what he had to say on the teleprompter and realized that...he got what he deserved.

          So you contend that on live TV he had the intent to use the word at bar and then apologize later? And regard to what he said, in my opinion he said "coon" as a morph between the K sound in king and junior. K and june"ior". Say "Kjune" no emphasis on "j".

          He intended to use the word. The apology came when? Most people on the air correct themselves immediately on SMALLER and less offensive stumbles. He DID NOT.

          I agree with you on most things Shaun, but you are just plain wrong on this one. If you listen to the video, he clearly got tongue twisted and ran “king” and “junior” together. I can’t believe we are destroying someone’s career over this. Insane.
