[QUOTE="Hoosierfrog, post: 2890587, member: 59"] Played softball years ago with a former Prairie View football player that was called the N word in the Houston Chronicle Tournament. The guy was about 6’ 260 (Which seemed pretty stupid for someone to yell at him from only 9o feet away). Boy, everything just sort of stopped and got quiet. I guess We were waiting to see who would volunteer to get in front of a charging bull. But he only laughed at the guy and said “I feel bad for you man, because that says more about you than me.” The umps said they didn’t hear it, which was BS. Every time he passed the guy between innings just laughed even harder and the guy got more red in the face mad. I asked why he didn’t do anything and Sheldon just said, “If you laugh at them and show it doesn’t bother you, it takes all the power away from them.” Maybe if you are 260 with no neck and lats that go from your ears to your shoulders you can get away with it. In any event I just thought that was a very wise way to handle it. He said if everyone laughed at that word, it just might disappear. Not entirely sure that would happen, but it just might cause people to use it less if they thought it wasn’t getting the intended rise out of people. [/QUOTE]
