Gordon Gee's mouth leads to early retirement

I couldn't find a thread about this although I think there may be a comment or two in other threads. If so, let me know and I will consolidate.

Here's a punishment that fits the crime for things someone should not have said...

What were his comments? Because I'm only seeing reference to one—a joking use of the phrase "damn Catholics." Is that REALLY the line for offensiveness now?

Oh there were more - I started a new thread here in order not to drift Roy's thread too far off course.

Eh, still seems sort of overblown. Maybe I'm just too accepting of people shooting their mouths off.

Also, apparently font colors don't work on the new board. Weird. I blame those damn untrustworthy idiot computer programmers.

A bit ironic that Gee is a Mormon. I suggest if the statement made was "damn Mormons, you can't trust 'em" a greater uproar would have ensued. Substitute any other religion into that statement "Jews, Muslims, etc.." and there'd have been even greater uproar, IMHO.
