Alberto Salazar BANNED For Life for "Sexual Misconduct"

You can't get anything right. I said the word shouldn't be used IF IT IS INTENDED AS A RACIAL SLUR. But, as the dictionary shows above - and you are unable to understand - the expression "to call a spade a spade" is not a racial comment. If I was you I would blow my brains out. Wait - that would require you have a brain.

I have never disparaged BLM either, you cretin. The only subject here that I view with utter and complete contempt is you.

Wrong; your adopted source said that the phrase should not be used BECAUSE it has racial implications. This is different from IF it had. You continue to try and lie yourself out of the racial cul de sac.

Academic papers on the use of the phrase are superior to a simplistic and limited definition of the word.

Also your post above contradicts the definition.

As for BLM ; can you explain your comparison with WASP?

Silence on the Monkey taunts.Well well, no surprise there then.

Ps; have you got round to reading the stuff I sent on SafeSport yet?

- to call a spade a spade

PHRASE

- If you say that someone calls a spade a spade, you mean that they speak clearly and directly about things, even embarrassing or unpleasant things.

[approval]

- I'm not at all secretive, and I'm pretty good at calling a spade a spade.[/quote]

There is a dictionary definition. I see no reference to a racial term. You had better take your argument up with them and say they've got it wrong.

A limited and simplistic definition and one that has no context.

You have said it should not be used because it has racial implications.

Academic papers say the same.

Then add the rest of your context; monkey taunts and banana type taunts and the BLM/WASP matter and I am back to.

Talks like ; walks like…. must be a 🦆.

You could apologise for lack of sensitivity and education about current affairs and say it was an error because you did not intend to cause the offence to posters who said they were from an applicable community.

But that might be like Alberto apologising for saying someone has a plump bum etc etc .Who cares about due process I hear you say; now deal with it when on to your account.

I remind you that an England cricketer had to apologise for calling his dog Kevin.Has your bigoted self not learned anything.

Doubt it. But either way, it must be awesome for this abusive cheat to constantly see

Yes quite a pity as I would have enjoyed debating the word cheat and the concept of due process and the implications of strict liability.

The extra legal / quasi legal powers that now exist in sport continue to be of fascination.

However I think that you would be happy just seeing her name in highlights again.

I have never said that the word "spade" should not be used because it has racial connotations; rather I have agreed with those who say it shouldn't be used as a racial insult - which is quite different. Using it in its traditional sense of describing a garden tool - as I have - is completely acceptable.

But dialogue with you - about anything - is an exercise in futility; you are clearly of well below average intelligence, of no education, and possessing a constellation of personality disorders. You have proven that there is nothing to be gained from engaging with you. So I won't.

Wrong yet again.

It is the phrase that is in question not the singular word.You have been told this dozens of times.

It is the phrase that you have said that should not be used.

Your normal tactics in your posting is to change words about to divert from your unsubstantiated comments.

When challenged you issue vile insults and death threats.

It should be clear that I am of very high academic achievements and the only disorder I have is for people who lie and contort and are racists.

Quak … walk …. 🦆

And what about the monkey taunts?

But we don’t know the actual offence only the broad category.

Like calling you a racists without pointing to your monkey taunts.
