If im an African American and one of the players call me a N*****, they wouldn't step back on my team. It shows what kind of guys Rhodes is to allow it in the first place/.

Listen, I'm not black, but I am educated enough to know that that is a word that cuts deep. However, I just happen to have a job in an area which allows me to work closely with some trouble youths. I can assure you that if Rhodes has any serious desire to work with troubled kids, what ever their situation is, he anticipated dealing with that word and a lot of others. If he didn't, he has no business doing what he says he wants to do. Like I said, it's the kids who have attitudes and situations bad enough that they would actually say things like that that need the guidance. The kids who say "yes sir" and "no sir" are already doing just fine.
