I don't know, sounds like there is too much of the thought police going on here. The question wasn't directed to him, and it sounded like someone had his voice singled out simply to try to catch something like this. He said it to himself under his breathe. I'm sure there have been worse things said in the same situation before and not been caught like that.

I would be guessing that this incident could play some part in his deciding to go in the draft or return.

No doubt. My guess is he was gone anyway, but I'd say he's packing right now after so much of the BBN turned their backs on him so quickly.

Yep. It was a private comment that he was saying to himself that no one else was to hear. The mic picked it up. I think we have all muttered stuff under our breath before that was not intended for any ones ears.
Lesson learned from him and he corrected it head on.

Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.

Tell that to the former Nets owner who was forced to sell his team.

What would we all be saying if Kaminsky said the same thing about Andrew? If the roles were reversed the news media would be having a field day compared to what is now being reported.
I love this team as much as anybody but that remark was plain STUPID and hurts the reputation of our team. Black or white, that should never happen.
Right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.

But the remark was not aimed at anyone, he didn't think anyone would hear him, little different.

Not a big deal to me. The press and the public have been acting like a bunch of retards for a long time, making big deals out of nothing events.

Regarding the press field day with Andrew's "double standard" comment......I'm not a fan of ANYone using the "n-word", 9 times out of 10, when a black person uses it, they're using it as a slang, regarding ANYone, regardless of race. It has, unfortunately, become very commonplace with today's youth (of all races). Again I say, I don't agree with it being used, but that's how it is. When Harrison said,"F that nigga", it was tasteless, uncalled for, and immature, yes, but racist? No.

That is exactly my point, gasp and heavy sigh! We are only allowed to use the first letter of a word that has become so dangerous to society.
Preventing anyone from even using it in reference because it is so damaging, that society itself may fall apart right before our eyes if uttered or written.

I don't care. Was it wrong in this day and age to say it? Absolutely. Kaminsky himself has been interviewed about it, and said he's 'over it'. If he's not bothered why should anyone else be?
I'm curious what Ashley Judd feels about it? She's the voice of the common folk, stands up for those unable or unwilling (or who don't want the attention) to stand up for themselves.
It was a stupid thing to get caught saying, but I don't care. Now, if Kaminsky said it about Harrison, I would expect Sharpton and Jesse Jackhole to be all over it.

I have looked at several news stories on this. The comments sections are filled with hateful crap about UK and especially Cal. When you are King of the Mountain, everybody wants to knock you down. Think what it would be like if we had actually won the championship!
