Its inevitable, with touchy subjects comes bad choices. This list looks for the worst choices people have made when making comments in the world of race and gender and preferences; can you recall some others?
| | Tim Hardaway (Former NBA Star) - "I wouldnt want them on my team... I would distance myself.... I hate gay people." |
| | Michael Irvin (NFL Hall-of-Famer and Analyst) - (talking about Tomy Romo) "If great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandma pulled one of them studs up out of the barn, 'Come on in here for a second,' you know, and they go out and work in the yard. You know, back in the day." |
| | Michael Richards (Played Kramer on Seinfeld) - "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass...You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now motherf**ker. Throw his ass out. He's a n******! (repeated) ... A n*******, look, there's a n******!" |
| | Howard Cosell (legendary sportsperson, commentator and reporter) - (referring to Redskins wideout Alvin Garret) "...that little monkey gets loose, doesn't he..." |
| | Isiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy star) - (At Golden Globes following rumors he made a slur towards his co-star on set) "No, I did not call T.R. (Knight) a faggot..." |
| | Nick Saban (Univ. of Alabama Football Coach) - "He was walking down the street yesterday before the Sugar Bowl... There was a guy working in the ditch, one of those coonass guys that talk funny. I can’t talk like them, but he can. Most people in Louisiana can.” |
| | Don Imus of the now infamous “Imus In The Morning Show” on WFAN made some comments about the players on Rutgers University women’s basketball team aka The Scarlet Knights. “That's some nappy-headed hos there, I'm going to tell you that," |
