Around the Horn rips Rodriguez for postgame comment

Was just watching Around the Horn when the entire Around the Horn crew ripped on Rich Rodriguez for his "You wanna hang me from a building?" comments. They said he needs to stop making everything about him and the wording bothered them. First of all, it bothers me that it seems like you can't say anything these days without offending someone. Second of all, all he is doing is telling people to calm down and things will be okay because it is just one loss. He isn't making it all about him. It's the media that always makes it about him and tries to come for his head at the first sign of trouble. Give the guy a break.

i love sports shows, but we don't need the opinions of 4 people to set a negative image about our program. Shows like this were cool at first, but they do make things way too personal. heck the comment wasn't meant for them as they probably aren't fans, so i wouldn't even consider them relevant for comment!

Anything relating to ESPN generally pisses me off. First of all, Denard takes a solid drop in the Heisman poll because of the MSU game. Whether it was deserved or not, I hate the hype that organizations like ESPN (and others) place around one athlete so early in the season, then they have one bad game (sorry they are HUMAN), and all of a sudden they fall off the radar. Give it up already. 

Second, I hate the way they fricking analyze every word that rolls out of the lips of a coach. Like it was already said, RR wasn't trying to make this loss about himself; he was simply trying to say that the fan base (and others) shouldn't come down on him because of one game. And that's a fair statement.

Not really the appropriate place to delve into it, and points are doing their job so I'll keep my opinion on this as short as I can:

I think that's a total cop out. It's a deragatory term for a gay person. The fact that people have co-opted it to use it as a term which means "bad" just shows how horribly ingrained (and wrong) it is. He called the guy that word in an attempt to potray him in a negative light. Plug in the N-Word and it has the same effect. And I hardly think if he used that word instead anyone would call it "immature." The only difference is( for some reason which is still lost on me) the use of "fag" is way more socially acceptable today.

Just an observation: I speculate that the co-opting of the F** word has been accelerated because it is easier (than other bad characterizations) to use as an adjective to describe particular actions that people see as 'girly'.  I suppose if I am on the dance floor, someone might say that I am dancing awfully 'white'.  But it seems like calling someone a 'girl' tends to be a bigger smack-talk among guys.  I am not saying that is right but I have definitely heard that context being abused the most.  (BTW...I am not defending this guys stupid comments)
