DoEspn pays him to offer analysis and opinion..because you or others may not agree with his perspective does not correlate to his overall decency.
just reading what you wrote is scary.I agree that he meant reservation, but that isn’t exactly a sensitive expression to native Americans either. I know it was heat of the moment, but it was both callous and ignorant. I hope he survives and learns from it.
That is good enough for me. Beyond them it is all BS. They are with te guy every day and should know what kind of man he really is.Well the players say they are going forward with McDermott as their coach per the assistant coach's tweet.
Or NovaCreighton looks lost tonight wow. Talk about distraction.
Wow. He offered to resign and I heard he spoke for like 5 minutes at his presser after the game last night addressing the situation and showing contrition. I am sure if he had said guys I need everybody to stay on the ship they would have said he meant slave ship.McDermott has been suspended. Creighton University bends to the woke mob. Absolutely pathetic.
I’ve been woke for years growing up in the hood of burlco. Seen stuff most haven’t. Soft served with jimmiesMcDermott has been suspended. Creighton University bends to the woke mob. Absolutely pathetic.
good move to offer to resign. he knows they would never. and the woke mob wants to run people out of town so now they get no satisfaction. plus makes him look good. smart moveThe guy freaking misspoke. It happens to all of us. The people blowing this out of proportion are absolutely nuts. That appears to now include the "leadership" at Creighton University. I hope their fans hit them where it hurts, in the wallet.
He apologized (as sincere as it gets), offered to RESIGN, the players said no we still want you as our coach, he coaches last night and NOW this? It makes no sense.
They must have found out he was reading Dr. Seuss books and took a harder standThe guy freaking misspoke. It happens to all of us. The people blowing this out of proportion are absolutely nuts.

Should he have escaped with nothing just because he said he was sorry?McDermott has been suspended. Creighton University bends to the woke mob. Absolutely pathetic.
Love the monday morning qbing on here, cave to woke mob, appease one side, they are a Jesuit institution, the verdict was delayed but respect it.Lol, window dressing to appease one side. Shocking he wasn’t suspended immediately with Nova in sight but now we’ll just sit a home game vs Butler. He’ll be back for BET.
I agree with this but I thought it was McDermott himself who brought it to the media.I don’t think this is Creighton caving to public pressure. I’ll bet there’s a player or coach who won’t let this drop. Probably the same person who alerted the media.
As well he should be.
It’s not right to blame the players or coaches. They were not the one’s who said it. This is a big deal and this is a shout out to everyone no matter what your profession that inappropriate language will not be tolerated. You don’t know who was in that locker room. For all you know the athletic director was in the locker room. What was the AD supposed to do not say anything about it. Even if it was a player they have every right to report something to a supervisor if they don’t feel comfortable. We have seen too many times in college athletics of students and coaches not speaking up.I don’t think this is Creighton caving to public pressure. I’ll bet there’s a player or coach who won’t let this drop. Probably the same person who alerted the media.
Gus Johnson and Raff going to bat for McD on the broadcast tonight. Glad to see some sanity exists for his poorly worded speech.
Disagree.
McDermott misspoke, he apologized and is suspended.
Jerry Stackhouse at Vanderbilt calls the fan base racists and somehow weaves in the election in defending his putrid record...and all is well. 😂
Double standard much?
Jimmy B jumped the shark this season.I disagree that it's a double standard because they are different institutions. If both happened at the same place and one was suspended while the other wasn't, then it's a double standard. That doesn't make either correct necessarily but different schools (companies et al) evaluate things differently.
Personally, I have no issue with what Creighton did. McDermott made a mistake (and owned up to it) but there are consequences. A short (hopefully) suspension gives the University cover that they've taken action. I certainly don't think he should lose his job over it. I'm not familiar enough with the Stackhouse situation but if it went down as it reads above, then yes he should probably be suspended as well.
We also have Jim Boeheim making fun of a reporter's physical stature as a reason why the reporter is not qualified to analyze his team. I'm surprised there isn't more being made of that.

Should he have escaped with nothing just because he said he was sorry?
I forgot you live and work in such a utopian mindset.Yes. He was contrite, recognized that some on his were affected by what he said. I give the benefit of the doubt to someone who has been a coach for two decades teaching and mentoring mostly black men.
Organizations like yahoo pay people like this person to publish articles like this, if you dont like the subject matter don't read it. Now you are just being like Boeheim, having played for a team sport is not a qualifier to this person publishing this.A real hard hitting piece from Yahoo, and some author I assume has never been on a sports team.
Texas boosters, Greg McDermott and others in college sports are telling us who they are. I hope Black student-athletes listen
A couple boosters said if Black student-athletes don't like the Longhorns' controversial school song, they can go elsewhere. Take their advice.sports.yahoo.com
