@terrell ivey It isn't you that is the problem... No you don't use the word, but others that look like you use the word and instead of getting called out for it, they are praised for it and celebrated for it. It isn't even blacks that are at fault for this... whites and other races as well. It was acceptable for blacks to say it and of course many blacks do say it... 0 repercussions. Sure a few blacks will say "I don't use it", but until everyone can use it or no one does, it will always be a problem.
Believe it or not Nascar and Indycar have harsh precedents for situations like these, Conor Daly from Indy car got sponsorship pulled because his dad said the word, not him, nascar suspended Jeremy Clemens because he used the word in an off broadcast interview that no one watched, they are serious about this they’re no nonsense as it should be
@@poolsoup6650 It's beyond excessive, but it is absolutely true... and his father who was from Ireland used the word in the context of the Irish dialogue thirty-five years before the clip was mentioned by Bob Lamey (then the Colts play by play announcer) who interviewed Derek Daily thirty -five years earlier, and he got fired from his job for simply telling the story of what happened thirty-five years earlier (sensing a theme here???). And Lamey was the best play by play guy for Colts and hockey, ever!!! IMHO!
I was watching Newgarden's stream by chance last night, and I think no one wanted to admit that it happened or were hoping that what he was saying got cut off. But the look on Josef's face kinda said it all, and then after a bit when everyone else was commenting. Dumb way to end a career though.
@@OGSharpshooter317 I don't agree with potentially ending his career. That's why it's dumb. I think at worst he should have to sit 5-ish races. If Chip wants to fire him, that's his choice, but definitely not banned or anything.
Sponsorship is required in his sport. No one will touch him. Doesn't matter who you are saying it to. Its off limits. If you haven't learned that or want to rebel against that then go for it and see what happens.
@@UK_WMB Sure, but given time I'm sure some lower tier sponsors will go for him. If he does get back into Cup in top equipment again, it will be a long time and lot of work to do so.
His Nascar career is over, you could apologise all you want but if the sponsors refuse to support you than they have to release him. So Chastain is now probably running for a cup championship and Larson will probably win a bunch of sprint car championships.
@Chris L well once upon a time blacks were called that as a way to demean them, then at some point they chose to start using the word as a term of endearment to take the power out of it. And now even whites are up and arms like yourself that they can't say it anymore. 🤷
His career is not over and the word wasnt used against anyone in particular. He will be made to attend sensitivity training and then he will be reinstated..His contract was up at the end of the season anyway and was talking about leaving. Tony Stewart wants him and will most likely sign him.
His career ain't over. The whole Nascar community probably share the same views. Emphasis on the *Suspended* part of the sentence. He's going to timeout until everyone forgets. He'll be back
"Character is defined by what you say or do when everyone else isn't watching" It doesn't matter what race he is or isn't, he knows the history of that word. My best friend is a Korean I served with in the military. I don't see color in people, just the character they display.
Kyle Larson just became NASCAR champion in a dominant performance with 10 wins on the season after coming back signing with Hendrick Motorsports something that would not have happened if he was still with his old team lol. This might of been the best move of his career ironically. A well deserved Championship.
Kyle Larson suspended without pay. NASCAR drivers and employees are still being paid without any real live racing events? They are being paid to sit at home?
I wonder how Pat feels about how Kyle Larson is not only dominating the cup series right now, but since the moment of this video for over a year now has been dominating many forms of motorsports and earned his reputation back. A true champion. He will be soon, maybe even this year in cup.
Im African American i went to an majority white school what i found out is there is very little cultural awareness in areas where black people such as myself does not reside i am still trying to figure out what is motive of disrespecting a culture of people you know nothing about ?

Seek Light Not Darkness because we are not threatened. Just like you said. We’ve always had to “show and prove” to get respect, and when given that chance, we usually knock it out the park.
@@ericsonclaude9314 I don't think he was saying it was cool in the sense that you are implying. He is saying that far more people turned a blind eye to racism back then, which made them seem "cool" with it. Frankly, it was terrible back then but the way that racists are doing it now is downright sinister. They even try to shame people for being too soft if they stand up to it. There are some sick people out there still hanging onto anything that makes them feel superior to others.
While McAfee is sitting on his high horse, there is a better than average chance that someone in that studio he is in has used that word more than once. The only difference is they had the sense not to say it when it could be recorded for all to hear.
This is so stupid it's a word! Like he meant anything by it. What if he was black it's all good? The context behind it should be the ultimate factor. Don't see this as that big a deal.
You answered your own question... And he is not black, so let's not wish another color on him so it can become acceptable in your mind. He's of Japanese descent and his grandmother was put in a internment camp by white people during WWII. He should know better since his kind was disparaged by white folks too. This is common knowledge unless you thought he was white.
Just saying sounds like he said it to get a reaction from whoever he was talking to not to degrade another human race. All of that said he's still a dumb ass for saying it.
Raised in Northern Minnesota, that word was never used, never said. Only heard in the music we listened to, I knew nothing about it until I played college football. I learned a lot that day and fully understand now.
Double Standards need not exist. PERIOD..! If a White individual cant say it Then no one else should either. PERIOD..! Double standards create issues. Always have and always will.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about and I hope that is as evident others reading your comments as it is to me.
The majority of NASCAR drivers, crew, and personnel are not racist bigots and are appalled and saddened that any driver or NASCAR personnel would say this. Please do not further stereotypes of any kind and let only truth prevail.
I agree that the word is terrible and I wouldn’t say it, but is it fair to ruin a mans life over one word? Isn’t it racist how a black man can’t say any one word that would demand they lose their job
I have absolutely no problem when there is a word that has been used by one race of people to disparage another race of people, for the disparaged race to request, or even demand that the word never be used again. I am all on board. But, if the disparaged group decides its ok to use that word amongst themselves, then it means context matters. I will then lose respect for anyone telling me that it still isn't ok for me to say it regardless of the context I use it in even if it is the same context they use it in. Either the word is bad, or the way the person says it is bad. I don't believe it can be both.
Not exactly sure how Daily was able to race in the NASCAR Iracing, but Dale Jr raced in the Indy Cars Iracing and actually placed third. Seems like if those series need drivers pretty much any name currently in racing can cross over and race. I mean it is all virtual so contracts, sponsorship, nad other things aren't a factor
This is a lesson to all my black, brown, Latino, Asian, Native American people in this world. This is what they think of you. Systemic and institutional racism, hate mongering is their default switch. A majority (98%) of the "dominate society members" idealology and schema is based on hate, segragation, and capitalism. No mattter how much education, or how long you have worked at your job, no matter how articulate or intelligent you are they have shown time and time again, all that matters is the color of your skin. Because there are no consequences for their hate, they are able to rationalize it, and justify it by devaluing people of color.
Funny how i guy that's never covered nascar before wants to put his 2 cents in. Just because all sports events are canceled in wake of covid-19 an he ran out of stories to talk about.
Ever considered that it might be a good thing that the younger generation doesn’t care about using it? We no longer have to worry about pissing the whole world off, it’s just back to being another slur like the rest of em.
Why does he say the one word White People are not allowed to say as opposed to the one word, non black or non-African Americans are not allowed to say?
Canada’s PM re-elected after multiple black face pictures are released Video of Democrat Virginia Ralph Northam saying racial slurs, wearing klan hoodie and black face. Both got a second chance... Kyle Larson should too!
Jai Rasta you take a look at actions like this that have happened in the last couple of months... NHL had many issues reported during this winter... all of them apologized and were given a second chance.
@@hockeymaster306 An apology doesn't erase the wrongful and intentional actions they committed. When it comes to people in a position of power especially, when we live in such a diverse nation, same as Canada, we don't need ppl who are known racist leading us. When it comes to sports, the mass majority of the sports played are exceptionally diverse as well. How are ppl supposed to be team mates when you hate your team mate just for the color of there skin?
There's footage of Josef Newgarden hearing it and his eyes get really wide like in his mind he's thinking "I couldn't possibly have just heard ... what I definitely just heard . . . right?"
To be fair, what was said is a cultural exchange that is not uncommon for Kyles generation. It is something that can be heard on a regular basis for those in this age group depending, of course, where you grew up, who you grew up with and the closeness of the friendship. To put a blanket of disciplinary over reaction on him shows a fear of open communication based on a lack of understanding of the people in his generation and how for the most part they have outgrown the stereotype of racism.
well maybe you should look up the history of that word and see why no one should ever use that word, and if you are not able to understand it then just be better off just keeping your mouth shut.
Firstly. Larson is Asian American. Secondly, that word shouldn’t be used in any form of Motorsports, or society itself. Larson put himself and NASCAR in a corner.
Kyle Larson is not a racist. He used the word as shock and dark humor. While I can agree it's not something he (we) should say, there's no way he meant to harm anyone by it. We're all guilty of saying things we shouldn't out of humor when we think no one is watching. But, that being said, outrage culture is real, and some of the ones who believe it's the worst thing you can say about someone are also probably making death threats towards him. So there's that.
“appropriate parties” most likely references sponsors. Larson is primarily sponsored by Credit One Bank and McDonald’s, and since McDonald’s has their own diversity thing going on, i imagine he’s probably done in NASCAR honestly.
This is when someone gets caught for saying it but a lot of the time, the issue is people who don’t say it but have racist undertones with their decisions in said business or industry
history gives it power. its the same reason no one rocks the hitler stache or use the swastika which is a symbol used thousands of years before the nazi's.
So one man says a word and it puts black eye on Motorsports, I've met Kyle Larson and he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met does what he said doesn't change my view on him, people make mistakes and now he has to live with his mistake.
No one should use that word, not even black people, there is no such thing as "reclaiming" a word. Jews, Asians, and Hispanics aren't doing that with words against them. So lets drop that word all together please!
First time here. It’s weird getting fired for saying a word, but it is what it is, reality in our times. I say just strike it from your vocabulary so you never have to worry about it. It’s easy. 🤷♂️
I think Halo 3 would be a more traumatic experience, but pretty much any PS3/360 era FPS definitely fits the bill. Side note: Has anyone else noticed trash talk has just gotten notably worse since those days? Most of what I hear in lobbies now is just cringy, instead of aggravating or funny. Sad times to be an FPS player.
Why should one person lose a job but others can use a word and it is fine? If it is a vile word for one person to use it should be vile for all to use, stop with the excuses and apologies, people make mistakes and sometimes say stupid things, but should not lose their entire livelihood for using a word that others are allowed to use.

Racism doesn't take breaks...even during a pandemic. Damn...
Lost a 8 figure salary all because he couldn't contain his racism!! He was raised that way he can't help it!!fired on his day off!!😂😂😂
Pat really wants you to understand that he has black friends
Almost desperately it seems.
Haha exactly
I don’t hear nor see that. He is stating he disagrees fully with that word period
Funny 🤣 I love how u put it
And he won today!
Ever considered that it might be a good thing that the younger generation doesn’t care about using it? We no longer have to worry about pissing the whole world off, it’s just back to being another slur like the rest of em.
Why does he say the one word White People are not allowed to say as opposed to the one word, non black or non-African Americans are not allowed to say?
Canada’s PM re-elected after multiple black face pictures are released
Video of Democrat Virginia Ralph Northam saying racial slurs, wearing klan hoodie and black face.
Both got a second chance...
Kyle Larson should too!
That's now how it works.
Jai Rasta you take a look at actions like this that have happened in the last couple of months... NHL had many issues reported during this winter... all of them apologized and were given a second chance.
@@hockeymaster306 An apology doesn't erase the wrongful and intentional actions they committed. When it comes to people in a position of power especially, when we live in such a diverse nation, same as Canada, we don't need ppl who are known racist leading us. When it comes to sports, the mass majority of the sports played are exceptionally diverse as well. How are ppl supposed to be team mates when you hate your team mate just for the color of there skin?
There's footage of Josef Newgarden hearing it and his eyes get really wide like in his mind he's thinking "I couldn't possibly have just heard ... what I definitely just heard . . . right?"
Kyle said it so freely you know he uses that word frequently for everyday things. “Can I get a cup of coffee?” “Nigg@@ black please.”

first time viewing your show ... enjoyed the video
To be fair, what was said is a cultural exchange that is not uncommon for Kyles generation. It is something that can be heard on a regular basis for those in this age group depending, of course, where you grew up, who you grew up with and the closeness of the friendship. To put a blanket of disciplinary over reaction on him shows a fear of open communication based on a lack of understanding of the people in his generation and how for the most part they have outgrown the stereotype of racism.
what happened to sticks and stones?? people are way to sensitive to words
well maybe you should look up the history of that word and see why no one should ever use that word, and if you are not able to understand it then just be better off just keeping your mouth shut.
@@Gman21-g2v
Firstly. Larson is Asian American. Secondly, that word shouldn’t be used in any form of Motorsports, or society itself. Larson put himself and NASCAR in a corner.
Kyle Larson is not a racist. He used the word as shock and dark humor. While I can agree it's not something he (we) should say, there's no way he meant to harm anyone by it. We're all guilty of saying things we shouldn't out of humor when we think no one is watching. But, that being said, outrage culture is real, and some of the ones who believe it's the worst thing you can say about someone are also probably making death threats towards him. So there's that.
95 percent of NASCAR fans use that word all the time in private and see nothing wrong it. That's why I'd bet this guy is back within the year.
Hadrka don't say it just everyone shut up forever! Hahahahaha
“appropriate parties” most likely references sponsors. Larson is primarily sponsored by Credit One Bank and McDonald’s, and since McDonald’s has their own diversity thing going on, i imagine he’s probably done in NASCAR honestly.
Never confuse shouldn't with can't. "Can't" is only enforceable by government intervention and that is a no go.
This is when someone gets caught for saying it but a lot of the time, the issue is people who don’t say it but have racist undertones with their decisions in said business or industry
This why the word has power, you give it power with rants like this.....
history gives it power. its the same reason no one rocks the hitler stache or use the swastika which is a symbol used thousands of years before the nazi's.
😂😂😂You just got a new fan. Subscribed man!!!
Man I just watched the video, that R was harder than and more deliberate than anything I’ve heard lol.
Will Live Damn you’ve lived a pretty sheltered life that’s the hardest R you ever heard
Pat McAfee is hilarious...I have been missing out on his podcast
Might as well get rid of rap music, the NFL and the NBA. The double standard is ridiculous.
So one man says a word and it puts black eye on Motorsports, I've met Kyle Larson and he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met does what he said doesn't change my view on him, people make mistakes and now he has to live with his mistake.
I'm glad they made an example out of him. Its 2020. Just stop already
Yes your perfect and never done anything wrong
Not true. Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, one of the least racist people on the planet, said it in two songs on their debut album.
No one should use that word, not even black people, there is no such thing as "reclaiming" a word. Jews, Asians, and Hispanics aren't doing that with words against them. So lets drop that word all together please!
Now all of a sudden he is white???
First time here. It’s weird getting fired for saying a word, but it is what it is, reality in our times. I say just strike it from your vocabulary so you never have to worry about it. It’s easy. 🤷♂️
Act like u havent said it
🤷♀️
Exactly
so it’s cool ? lmao
Imagine the populous of 2020 heading into a MW2 lobby, they would cry in a corner
I think Halo 3 would be a more traumatic experience, but pretty much any PS3/360 era FPS definitely fits the bill.
Side note: Has anyone else noticed trash talk has just gotten notably worse since those days? Most of what I hear in lobbies now is just cringy, instead of aggravating or funny. Sad times to be an FPS player.
Dude, BO2 lobbies were total cancer lmfao. I miss those days.
Thank you for this video Pat 🙂
Wrong, MANY of the other drivers in the race heard it and responded right away!!
yeah one guy was like dude everyone can hear you
Extremely well said, Pat lol
Kyle got what he deserved. Disrespectful conduct shouldn't be tolerated at all!
It's just then exerting control over us.
Here's the bigger question...why do you need a "spotter" playing video games?? Neckcar people are nuts
It sucks because I have been waiting for Pat to talk NASCAR. But not in a negative light such as this.
As a former African American
..... I remain offended.
Ohh fuckin well
Never go full R.
Why should one person lose a job but others can use a word and it is fine? If it is a vile word for one person to use it should be vile for all to use, stop with the excuses and apologies, people make mistakes and sometimes say stupid things, but should not lose their entire livelihood for using a word that others are allowed to use.
Kyle Larson is a minority too. You would think of all people he would know better
It sounds like that they use that word at his workplace regularly and they were silent because they was like oh s*** he's on the air
The chair that has to support this guy all broadcast... that’s the real hero LOL
Yea so much power a word has.
"How u get fired on your day off!"
-smokey
still the beat movie ever lol
Broke Man Fishing 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
@Joe Sudz Don't be a party pooper to a funny joke
Mrclassic7 I mean since it doesn’t apply it’s really not funny. He was literally at work
The Asian guy that utilized Nascar's Diversity Program drops the N- Bomb. He even went the -er route. Sheesh
Tim D - What sucks is that he actually is talented and has won a few races. Sucks to see his career stunted (who knows who will hire him now) because of something so avoidable.
He definitely didnt use the diversity program to get to where he is. He made it on pure talent.
@@jeremyray7869 used it to get a seat homie.
He doesn’t look Asian he probably identifies himself as white
@@KKirbyWho ya right. Ive never heard any of them say that. They cuss yes. Go back and find one example of what you say. You'll be looking for a long time. Keep in mind 1000s of people have been listening to every teams channels of every race and never have I heard of this. It wouldn't go un noticed. Go back to your tea and badminton
The irony of this whole thing is Kyle came on the series through the Drive for Diversity program since he’s Japanese American
So an Honorary Aryan lives up to his title?? SWEET!!!!!
Drive for Diversity - lmfao
No, hes white. Hes a white person. His mother is Japanese. But hes still white, looks white, culturally white etc.......
Dave Everett biologically he’s not, just because you believe he’s white doesn’t mean you’re right
Yes, dave everett gets to decide whos white and who isnt.
I always wanted Pat to talk about NASCAR. Never thought that it would be about this though
How could it NOT be this?!😂
Yeah, kind of the immediate thought was this is about as nascar a thing as could happen so sure that’s why it’s on here, that’s kind of the nascar/country meta.
I always hoped if for some reason Pat did mention Motorsports it would be something positive. This is a terrible look for NASCAR. I feel this is worse than the Brian France ordeal.
@@JohnYenchick brain France or deal was way worse because how hell can get dui when owning a Motorsport and then going and sueing someone twitter account for it being drunken Brian france
No one ever talks about NASCAR. Same thing with the 500 when Newman wrecked, they just talked about how he almost died until he walked out of the hospital, then you never heard another word really. NASCAR always gets a bad wrap
He got fired on a day off
Lmao
He didnt get fired.
@@ChazISfat Maybe not but he will have a tough road ahead, the social media today will destroy people overnight.
Suspension without pay
Close enough
@@jostrander71 remember when lebron james made a racist Taco Tuesday video???? He caught very little heat for it. It's okay for blacks to be racist....
@@ChazISfat It is called a double standard, Lebron can say or do anything.I am not saying it is right.
The sad thing is that he came into nascar because of the drive for diversity program since he's half asian.
I knew it too.
Asians have a stigma of hating blacks. No matter how much $ we make then n hair and nail shops they wont respect that we have $ 2 pay.
But Pat told us he was white
He's only a quarter asian. His mom's half Asian. So yeah, he's caucasian. 😉
Kyle Guy2 If a quarter black person is black, then a quarter Asian person is Asian.
Literally an entire South Park episode on this situation.
I though I was going to win $30,000!!!
30k for people who annoy you hahahahaha. First time I watched it I'm like oh this is going to be bad when he said it and then it came up Nagger I couldn't stop laughing hahahahahaha.
