Talk about a push poll:
A survey on a this local tv station, WTAE: Do You Feel Joey Porter's Punishment Was Enough?
What about asking if he should have been fined in the first place?
To: beyond the sea
I'm assuming he called him a fag?

Well, if that's the word he used, I have to agree with what he said. We said that growing up as often as we said 'the', 'and', and 'if'. And it was totally non-gender specific, too.

My thoughts also ... my son was amused at this story. He said if the media ever heard what passes for conversation in a high school football locker room, we would all be broke.

Let's say Winslow is gay, what's wrong with calling him what he is?
Then, if Porter was just using it toward Winslow to refer to a guy who made the 'chicken-sh*t' late hit on the Steelers' Farrior, then it was even less of a problem.
This fine is a bad JOKE. I wouldn't pay it, even if I lost the appeal.

My mom used to buy "faggots" ( a polish or russian food ) from a lady who personally made them.

Big BROTHER is here! What happened to free speech? Are we going to have a dictionary of banned words now? This is disgusting. Fining players for dancing in the end zone, saying "bad" words to me is plain stupid. It makes me lose interest in the sport. Should we watch games to see if anyone dances or uses bad words; that is a boring distraction. What else are they going to cut back on?
