Should Detroit Lions President Matt Millen (white) lose his job for calling Kansas City wide receiver Johnny Morton (black) a slang name for being gay?

The NFL already has fined the Lions $250,000 for not interviewing a black canidate for coach.

Charlie,
What the hell does Millen being white and Morton being black have to do with the fact he called him a faggot?

Your injecting a racist argument into a non-racist situation.

According to Fox Sports Detroit, Morton has made it a race issue and is calling for Millen to be fired.

In addition, the Lions have called a press conference for tomorrow morning.

I was not the one making it a race issue, just reporting what Fox Sports Detroit is saying.

Michael, that is correct. But I wonder if that little bit of information is going to matter to William Clay Ford.

BYW, I used to referee high school basketball involving Dearborn Devine Child. Do you live near there?

Michael, Do you get tired of rooting for the Lions and Tigers, or are you still loyal?

Morton should still be a Lion. I hate Millen for that. But come on. Calling someone a fag isn't a huge deal. I can't believe the race card is being thrown in here. Millen should be fired for being a big dumb monkey after the season, not for this though.

Is Johnny Morton (black) a faggot? If so, Matt Millen (white) is simply calling a spade a spade, so to speak.

If Johnny Morton (black) is not a faggott, Matt Millen (white) owes an apology to Johnny and any other faggots (black or white) who may have taken offense.


VVV

p.s. not that there is anything wrong with being a faggott, of course.

Millen also had diahrria of the mouth last year when he went on the Mike Ditka radio show and joked about a player's manhood.

This guy should have left with Morningwheg. Just about every move he has made, whether it be draft choices, free agents to and from, trades, has been a disaster.

The Lions have nothing. They have NOTHING. They have no talent whatsoever on offense (including quarterback) and only a couple aging linemen and a couple decent young corners on defense.

This guy has done more damage to the organization in three years than Russ Thomas did in twenty.

Pitiful. I almost feel sorry for the Fords. They want to win. They are not cheap, never have been. They have always tried to win. They just are incapable of hiring the right people to make it happen.

If Matt Millen stays on, this team will set the consecutive NFL road loss record so high it will never be broken. They are going nowhere and nowhere fast and furious.

But I'm sure as hell glad they lost big to the Chiefs yesterday. Saved my ass from an ACH bloodbath tomorrow.

Millen doesn't deserve to be fired for that incident alone, but he does deserve to be fired for ineptitude overall.

He's basically an absentee GM that has not made very good personnel decisions and on top of that has drawn negative publicity for this, and prior, for calling one of his players a coward. Poor judgement all the way around.
 

There's always next year, like in 75, 90-93, 99 &

I think Morton is a faggot too.

He's certainly crying about this like a little biatch

If every man that ever called another man a faggot in anger lost his job because of it.....well, I'd probably get to meet all of you guys in the unemployment line I suppose!

Hey,


I didn't say fire him cause of this incident, i said fire him because of bad management overall. Let me flip the question:

What has he done to deserve retaining the job while presiding over one of the worst performing organizations other than the AZ Cardinals?
