NxtUp...Homophobia
Un-sportsman Like Issue
"In a press conference recently Hawaii Head Football Coach Greg McMackin used a derogatory word for homosexuals to describe the Notre Dame football team.
Realizing his mistake, McMackin used the word two more times in an awkward attempt at an apology. He then went on to ask reporters to "cover for him" by not printing the account of his apparent slip.
The university promptly issued a formal apology. "I sincerely apologize for the inappropriate words that I used," McMackin said in the statement. "My comments were out of character and I have no prejudices against anyone. I'm really upset with myself and I'm truly sorry for my remarks."
Homophobia is a major issue in college sports and McMackin's insensitive and homophobic remarks are likely to reignite the debate on what should be done."
