Parcells uses slur talking about trick plays

ESPN.com news services
IRVING, Texas -- Bill Parcells apologized Monday for calling the surprise plays used in practice "Jap plays," saying the remark was inappropriate.


The Dallas Cowboys coach was talking to reporters at the team's minicamp about how his quarterbacks coach and defensive coordinator try to outdo each other when he made the comment, perhaps a reference to Japan's 1941 surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.


"You've got to keep an eye on those two, because they're going to try to get the upper hand," Parcells said about quarterbacks coach Sean Payton and defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. "Mike wants the defense to do well, and Sean, he's going to have a few ... no disrespect for the Orientals, but what we call Jap plays. OK. Surprise things."


After a murmur in the room of reporters, which included a Japanese journalist, Parcells repeated, "No disrespect to anyone."


"Bill Parcells is a brilliant coach," John Tateishi of the Japanese-American Citizen's League, a national civil rights group told DallasNews.com. "Unfortunately, he is ignorant about racial slurs. I take great offense by what he said. Parcells ought to know better. He sorely needs more education on what is offensive and non-offensive to Japanese-Americans. I am shocked that he would say this."

:boohoo:
 
Somebody needs to point out to this "Tashimoto" motherfucker that if the Japs wouldn't have sneak attacked us then it wouldn't be a slur. You reep what you sew you dumbasses, how the hell to you think the poles feel?

Parcell's is an old school guy, that is just the way it is. Personally I find it refreshing that he speaks his mind. The only dissappointment I have is that someone made him appologize. :biggrin:

How's this for offensive: Fuck off, slanto. Then again, racial slurs are a problem that need to be nipped in the bud. Guess I should be all over that like white on rice...
