Hawaii Coach on Irish Jig: “little faggot dance”*
1-liner, College Football, Kind of Gay July 30th. 2009, 3:00pmCoach Plants Foot in Mouth: “Second-year Hawaii football coach Greg McMackin said Notre Dame players engaged in a “little faggot dance” when describing a banquet the night before the Hawaii Bowl last December.” UPDATE: LISTEN TO THE AUDIO HERE (via; note laughter in the room). After saying the quote, McMackin backtracked: “Don’t write that ‘faggot’ down. I was misquoted. Just please … cover for me. Go ahead, say ‘faggot dance.’ No. Please cover for me on that, too — right Karl [Benson, WAC Commish] ? I’ll deny it. Anything else?” Then he left. He returned 15 minutes later: “I want to officially, officially apologize. Please don’t write that statement I said as far as Notre Dame. The reason is, I don’t care about Notre Dame. But I’m not a … I don’t want to come out and have every homosexual ticked off at me. You know what I mean. Because I don’t have any problem with homosexuals. But I apologize for saying that and I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t run that word. If you said dance, that’s OK. But don’t use the bad term that I chose, please. Thank you.” If he really wants to save face, produce the video and let everyone decide for themselves. [Reno Gazette Journa via Pat Forde]

Wow. That’s a pretty epic stream of consciousness. Wish there were video of this.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:05 pm

July 30th, 2009 at 3:05 pm

July 30th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
How does that word just fall out of someone’s mouth by mistake, especially in public? I mean if your name isnt Jerry Lewis.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:08 pm

July 30th, 2009 at 3:08 pm

Dunno…always thought the Cabbage Patch was pretty damn cool.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I would’ve said “faggy” dance. But then I’m not a homophobe like Coach McMackin.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
UPDATE: audio added into the post … the good stuff is at the 1/3 mark
July 30th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
He should have said faggish, or faggy-like. Or just said Notre Dame, and everyone would have known what he meant.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
i prefer “clausen-esque.”

I don’t want to live in a world where coaches can’t say faggot. If you took away faggot, and it’s variations, my old high school coach would have been a mute.

Not surprising, considering that the standard insult in a locker room are stop being a bunch of pussies/faggots.

athletes are probably some of the biggest homophobes in society, not wanting to appear “weak” to their teammates/fans. Being a gay athlete has gotta be tough

Notre Dame must have learned it from Texas
July 30th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Those faggots put up 49 points at your home stadium, faggot.

like walking around a car dealership with bad credit and a suspended license. Things you want to ride, or take for a ride, everywhere, but there’s no way to pull it off.

Or a pedophile running a daycare!
No, yours is better.

beating up on hawaii is like punching a cripple. way to go.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Or a pedophile running a daycare
I am amused.

When you haven’t won a bowl game in over a decade, it doesn’t matter who the win comes against. Point is, you don’t get to call a team faggots when they embarrass you.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Well.. you don’t get to call a team faggots at any time, but you don’t get to talk smack when they sodomize you.

The Brady Quinn legacy lives on at ND.
July 30th, 2009 at 3:48 pm

July 30th, 2009 at 3:49 pm

The big question here is did JerseyYo! participate in these types of dances during his years in South Bend?

They were once the Hawai’i Rainbows, and then the Rainbow Warriors, and in a very gay-friendly state out of some repressive hypocritical “sensitivity” of the 1990s, the University of Hawai’i changed it to “Warriors.” Go figure a rainbow is also a historical religious symbol mind you, but that is overshadowed by all the PC stuff nowadays.
Anyway, this was only reported because the mainstream media out of New York skews liberal on this matter not to mention of course Hawai’i.
If this happened in most of the “red” states, it would have been dismissed without much afterthought except on the most liberal of media outlets chock full of homos and metrosexual types much like Hollywood. And of course again so many of those are out of New York and LA.
