At this point, I can take or leave Hayes. Sure, he's a racist. He's also a SD writer...and last time I checked, SD was where minorities tend to flourish. *shrugs* How do you figure? MVP is the only one that comes to mind. Khali, Henry, those two don't really count since they would probably be dominant regardless due to their size. Name me a minority honestly "flourishing" on Smackdown. I don't think Yang counts since the most he has had is a job and tag title shots as one of the only two regularly paired, face tag teams on Smackdown. Well, the show's immense Hispanic audience usually results in at least the pushing of Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio. Plus, while you can say that Khali and Henry would be dominant regardless...no one forced them to put the belt on Khali or make Henry a perennial World Title contender. |

I guess the fact that he used to paint the Confederate flag on his face doesn't really help his case

Its not like Vince cant find another writer. I mean crap the guy deserves to be punished. What he said not only has an effect on the roster but the image of Vince himself.

If Hayes was contributing anything useful or positive in the storylines, MAYBE it would be OK to let this slide. But the fact that he's clearly a terrible booker in addition to being a prick makes me wonder why he hasn't been fired already. Do you even see how bad SD! is now without him? At least with him they had some good Edge/Taker fueds. He even was one of the contributing ppl to book the Batista/Michaels fued way back when. So he has some talent. |

You're an ignorant dumbass, educate yourself for God's sake. Kid..Im probably twice as educated as you. I refuse to worry about a race problem. EVERYTHING in the world is always built on race. You have black people calling each other nigg@s..but when a white dude says it, they wanna kill him..even if he calls someone his nigg@ and not using it in the racial slur way. when people like Al Sharpton are all over the news making everything whites against blacks I refuse to care about it. Ignorant is a black guy getting pulled over by a white cop for a busted tail light, and then shooting that cop in the face because he doesnt want a ticket...THATS IGNORANT. --oh and that happens almost on a daily ing basis... dont go calling people ignorant and uneducated, when you have no clue what you are talking about. your post was not even relevant to the topic if you want to talk about educated, you need to learn to read the topic, and contribute something to that instead of trying to call someone out because of their opinion on a subject. |

The guy needs suspended if not fired to be honest. Now, one comment is bad enough. But this is like the 3rd in a month. WWE needs to take some sort of action.  |

dont think he'll be fired - he's been a loyal worker in WWE since the mid 1990's and I think Vince sorta respects him for that.

Frank Sinatra used to be ruthless with Sammy Davis Jr and nobody blinked. America needs to lighten up. Frank Sinatra: Entertainer of the Millennium Michael Hayes: Un-entertaining Southern intellectually- disabled person. Yeah. They're comparable. |

Firstly please don't call me kid, I'm a man, I don't enjoy being looked down upon. Secondly your grammar and general ideas of how something like this works leaves a very simple minded view of the world taste in my mouth. Things do not work the way you percieve them, sir. Now seeing as how this is the internet, you could claim to have 6 degrees from various Ivy league schools, but it doesn't mean jack. One's education is constantly demonstrated, it's not just pulled out for dispaly when needed. Now to the topic at hand. Well I guess I should start with the fact that you need to not paint the world with such a broad brush. So because some black people use the n word in an endearing fashion to each other, does that mean that every black person enjoys that word? Does every black person not feel offended when it's used? So because of the actions of a people in his race Mark Henry must sit idley by and be offended? It doesn't work like that my friend. Now I know you were harping on the fact that it's a word that is common in the black community. Yes the word has flourished in popular culture, but the context is very much so different then the way Hayes used the word. When someone usually uses the n-word, it's an endearing term for there friend. Hayes used it to imply he was more black then Henry. Hayes is implying that he can use this word because he represents and feels black culture more then Henry. No doubt this was in a joking manner, but I can see the hurt this would cause. Telling someone they're detached and non-representative of their race? That's got to hurt. Now I could sit here and go on for days about the debate over the use of the word at all, but that's not what we're discussing. Although I really am troubled at your clear animosity towards blacks, your post just reeks of it. I suggest you open your eyes sir, and realize that you're generalizing and you are speaking for people with whom you have no touch on. |
