NFL wants to ban the N-Word?

So, a bunch of white, authority figures in stripes is going to dictate how a mostly African American workforce talks to each other.

This is going to go over well.

This was my first thought.

My second thought: Riley Cooper is in big trouble.

During the week 2 game between the Hawks and 9ers, you can clearly hear a player saying "Bitch N----r" during a punt. It just happened to be caught by one of the field microphones. The term isn't always used benignly between black players as the OP suggested. Not saying it should be banned. Just wanted to point that out.
