    It's BS that that the s--tstorms are much greater when the religion of Islam is bashed compared with other religions. It should be equal.

    Good thing for her she didn't say that about Jews or other minorities or she would have been fired.

    What's the difference other than offending a different group of people?

    Good point. I get how someone would find "F*** Jesus" to be pretty offensive. But isn't "Touchdown Jesus", like, massively degrading? Jesus as football decoration?

    That Kathy Griffin thing at the end made me laugh.

    It's not a football decoration. It just looks like one from the placement.

    Here it is alone: http://www.settimanasportiva.it/data/news/Touchdown Jesus.jpg

    And from the footbal field view. http://www.tomroeser.com/blog/img/f20711/touchdown jesus.jpg

    Anyways, I think Donahue is most upset with someone who represents a corporation saying F Jesus, that corporation not giving him an answer he was satisfied with and then him blowing it out of proportion (it was a Roast, but still tactless and vulgar). His point is valid though, in my opinion, that it's easy to hate on Christianity and not feel the same vitriol or heat that say Don Imus got for using something equally offensive or crass in a "joking" manner.

    I doubt he thinks she should be fired, or that if she really didn't like Jesus or Christians she should force out an apology other than for the vulgarity of her statements. It seems more like his beef is with ESPN sitting back and saying that kind of thing is ok.

    I'm shocked. Not only because the language is so out there, but because I pretty much assumed most female sportcasters had no personality.

    Exactly -- that's the whole point. Then today, I was listening to McClain and Lord earlier and they were trying so hard to gloss over the issue as if it were nothing ... and then summarily ignored the hordes of emails, texts and calls they got as a result. Quoth McClain, "she just didn't say it right." Exactly how do you say "f__ Jesus" the right way?

    If this had been anything else - Mohammed, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, some Jewish figure ... everybody would be calling for the woman's head on a platter. On ESPN yesterday, Bayless and the other dude were talking about that golf channel anchor's comments about Tiger Woods and they sounded really disappointed that he wasn't making a big fuss about it. Frankly I've never quite understood why people get so offended over everything, but it's even more baffling when you see double standards like this one.

    You guys are right, the religious right never ever make a fuss about anything like a boob sighting at the super bowl or never have their voices heard. I expect this to go right under the rug.

    put it this way, which statement is more likely to cause a fight?

    "yo man, your house is ugly!"

    or

    "damn man, your mom is ugly"

    Why is it okay to say tasteless, offensive and hurtful ***** at a roast?
    I think she should be punished.
    I'm sorry but saying '***** Jesus' is just unacceptable to me
    I'd fire her.
