CSU Coach Lufper should get fired for his comment at the New Mexico Bowl game. I don't understand how people who are celebrities get away with saying inappropriate things that others wouldn't get away with.

There is never an excuse in any way to say those kinds of words to another person; because of the nasty remark to the other team's quarterback, he got suspended for only two weeks. Why did he only get suspended? I talked to the dean at my school and asked if this happened at our school what would happen if a teacher or coach did this. He told me that the teacher/coach would be fired. If a student said this to another student, they would get a three-day suspension and have to write an apology letter.

I don't understand why Phil on "Duck Dynasty" didn't get fired either. He is a celebrity and should be a good example, too. Some celebrities in this same situation were fired.

People shouldn't get away with these kind of nasty remarks to one just because they are celebrities. If people say inappropriate comments, they should all have consequences. No one should be treated different!
