Jesus Christ

So its okay to use Jesus's name with explicits, he is the guy that "white" people follow.

But if anyone dared use Mohammad, or Ghandi's name with explicits so loosely, it would be all over the news and people would be calling for this guys credentials to be removed.

Insensitivity doesnt stop with the minorities or other religions, and it should extend across the board.

Shameful how loosely this word is allowed to be used.

Like I told our neighbor's 5 year old kid yesterday when she told my 5 year old that the Easter Bunny wasn't real..........neither is Jesus Christ.  So anyone that has to comment on why things are ok to say this way but not that way and why blacks are minorities and why a woman can't be president need a reality check......there is no light at the end of your tunnel.  You keep believing it's okay to sin as long as you spend countless hours of your life asking for forgiveness and sending your cash to the man above.........

PS-I drafted Patterson with my last pick just in case he is a late bloomer....

Not to get in a pissing match but:

-Blacks are minorities because they don't make up 50%+1 of the population. 

-A women can be President, however lets see how well she would deal with Muslim radicals who look down on women.  Not a good position of power, and not a place I want the United States of America negotiating from. 

-History makes clear that Jesus Christ did indeed exist.  Which means that unless you went out and bought a bunny on Easter, he was more real than your Easter Bunny. 

Good luck with the Patterson pick.  He sucked in Chicago... 

Well in that case i make my case for a new naming for the award

The Jesus was real, just not who you really think he is Award.

givin to the more popular bearded man who really, is not the son of god, or in baseball sence... not really that gifted or great

Yeah, I guess Revs. Al & Jessie weren't watching this thread...

I have a bigger problem with the hypocricy at CBS. Half of these posts are going to get yanked because CBS has a filtering system that pulls every uncomfortable word automatically.

Yet on more than one occasion I've seen their writers cross the fairly conservative boundary set by the network.

Let's have the same standards for everyone - and I'm all for wide-open, let 'er rip language.  I'm a big boy. I can handle it.

Here's another way to look at it:

I actually think the higher standard should be applied to paid writers like Mr. Dobrow. I think they should be professional enough and creative enough to not rely on word choices that some, many in fact, will find blasphemous. I think there are more creative ways to describe a disruptive locker room presence than "pain in the" arse. Where's the editor here? I know writers want their personal style intact but someone needed to look at that copy before it was posted and say "find another way."

I don't think writing styles like this should be banned (so relax, Marino dude), I just think they're weak, lazy and there are writers out there would could make an equally good point without stooping to this.

Excellent job calling Dobrow on this, Irish. Probably a shout in the wilderness, but appreciated just the same.

Walja, I think Christians just tire of getting rapped in the snout with a newspaper for standing up for their beliefs, while more radical faiths are restricting the freedom of an entire gender by force or plotting the next act of mass murder. And before you start, I realize Christiantiy isn't without its atrocities.

If we're going to fly off the handle about a cartoon drawing of one God, then let's maybe call a sport writer out for unnesessarily dropping the J.C. bomb in one of his cheezy columns. This isn't one of the great writers of our time trying to bring about social change. Just a lame hack who thought his attempt an irreverent style would get him some attention. He needed to do better. Religions aside, we can agree on that, right?
