Former Boston Celtics champion and Hall of Famer Paul Pierce has been trending today since accidentally saying the n-word on the live broadcast of Undisputed on FS1. While many fans think this could lead to Skip Bayless and FS1 parting ways with Pierce, personally I don't think that fear is warranted. Paul Pierce is Black and the racial slur when said by a Black person doesn't hold the same terrible meaning to it. And while Donte DiVincenzo is white it, it wasn't like Pierce used a racial slur that is against White people.
If Pierce does lose his job it will more be someone using use this an excuse to can Pierce.
