Kansas State Suspends Coach for Using the N-Word While Telling Students Not to Use It
“While addressing the issue, the coach inappropriately repeated the offensive lyrics”
It seems like every time someone gets in trouble for saying this, it’s because they’re saying it in a context like this one.

Kansas State suspends soccer coach for saying n-word while telling players not to use slur
Kansas State University suspended its women’s soccer coach for two weeks after she used the n-word, while explaining to athletes why they should only play clean music during games.
“According to sources with knowledge of the situation, [Colleen] Corbin had asked players not to play pregame music that included some swear words, including the N-word, before K-State’s exhibition versus Arkansas on March 7, in Kansas City,” The Mercury reported on March 31. “In a conversation about the music, she reportedly said the N-word, and players complained to the university.”
The coach reportedly “used the word again when relaying the situation during a staff meeting, which led assistant coach and goalkeepers coach Maddie Dobyns…to resign from the team.”
The school suspended her on March 23.
The athletics department said an official investigation has been launched into the situation.
“Coach Colleen Corbin was suspended for two weeks following offensive lyrics played during warm-ups before a spring match,” an unnamed representative told The Mercury.
“While addressing the issue, the coach inappropriately repeated the offensive lyrics,” the school stated.
“The incident was reported to the University’s Civil Rights and Title IX office, and K-State Athletics took action, issuing a suspension. Athletics takes these matters seriously and expects coaches and players to respect others.”Corbin has a long coaching record, coming to Kansas State from Saint Louis University, according to her university bio.
Prior to that, she coached the professional San Diego Wave team and at other universities including James Madison University and Arizona State University.
The College Fix has previously reported on other situations where professors have been punished for quoting the n-word to make a point or using it in context.

This is the black version of “Mother, May I.” It’s a gotcha game.
“she reportedly said the N-word, and players complained to the university.”
Ask the players why they never previously complained about the music itself.
The forbidden word is like Voldemort. You give it more power by perpetuating this farceof outrage. At this point, it’s outrageous because it is in a circular backlash. Very little thought goes into context.
Send them all copies of Blazing Saddles, ideally in leau of pay.
I can say n n n all I want but you can’t. My radio stations can blast the words, n, f and mf repeatedly but yours cannot. What will the next forbidden words be?
I have one word for Kansas State PC idiots: semprini!
“used the word again when relaying the situation during a staff meeting, which led assistant coach and goalkeepers coach Maddie Dobyns…to resign from the team.”
If y0u just quit over a word you probably do not have what it takes to be an even half decent coach anyway. Quitters do not make good coaches.
So the students are playing ‘music’ with offensive lyrics, and that’s all fine, but when the coach says nigger, a word heard in the lyrics, and in the context of don’t use it, “Oh Nos the Heavens are Falling”!
It seems pretty clear the issue isn’t the word – the students were listening to it and obscene lyrics, but that the coach telling students not to play pre-game music that used bad words was a trigger for them, and they used the pretext of its use as grounds for a complaint.
In a sane world students complaining about a coach saying a word they repeatedly listen to in their music, and possibly use themselves, is not cause for action. Frankly it shouldn’t be cause for action at all, but Leftists and rationality have little in common!
The best summary of this was the comedian who said “the one word white people can’t say is “N#**$@,” and the one word black people can’t say is “ask”.” Tears to my eyes.
the word is sooooooo bad that only certain people are allowed to use it
great parenting skillz
see we got the power over you whtys!!!
thats the end game
