DOG off TV

Surprised?

Published on November 3, 2007 By Dan Greene In Current Events

I guess November is lets be a racist month and release it to the public. You would think that celebrities and people who have or do have the cameras in their face all the time, you know from being celebrities that they would know the words not to say ever.

Like the N word, in this instance, in a personal conversation with Dog's son where he says he doesn't want his son's girlfriend around because his family and he use the N word, where is just slips out. Right.

The link at the end of the article is to the page with a recording with numerous use of the N word. After the Michael Richards debacle, which happened last year, in November, you would think it ironic, based on the substance of Dog's conversation, about not wanting to trade everything he has worked for over the course of 30 + years for being labeled a racist, and that he basically perjures himself to us now, by his very choice of words.

I thought Dog was entertaining TV, but that's it. You have to know as an entertainer you golden rule to success is not to offend your audience with racial slurs. You don't see too many successful doctors prescribing arsenic. Unfortunately for Dog this wasn't even a public event, or a slip of the tongue in the line of his duty. It was a supposed personal conversation with a family member.

I am a bit surprised, with his understanding that you can't trust anybody, you know from family members turning in other family members, and from the impact these kinds of statements, whatever the context, have had for the people who use them, that Dog didn't just choose to substitute the "N word" for his use of the racial slurs.

So what does Dog say now that he got caught and the world knows...

"I have the utmost respect and aloha for black people who have suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred," the elder Chapman said.
"I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world. I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused."

Even for a network's, A & E, numero uno rated program, nobody, even a down and dirty kinda guy like Dog, survives this kinda thing.

By the way Dog's really adopted name is Duane Chapman. Listen to his phone call here...

but Vic has a right to work his job was the NFL.

No, he does NOT have a right to work in the NFL, danielost.

I realize you're going to weep many long nights because Vick isn't suiting up in the pros, danielost, but if he has a "right" to the job in the NFL, why haven't all of the also rans who get cut in training camo sued because their rights are violated?

Because he HAS no such right, that's why!

you people have condemned them both with out going to court

Did you miss the news where Vick pled guilty, you maggot infested piece of offal? Vick HAS had his day in court. He chose to PLEAD, which means he IS, legally speaking, guilty!

As for Dog, I have convicted him of nothing. I ALWAYS support the right of an employer to choose their employees, danielost. ALWAYS. And A&E was Dog's employer.

and you have no right to write on this blog except that the owner brad allows it.

Are you claiming to have some power to expel me from this site, danielost? Because I think, coupled with your threat to cut me up, that admin just might be interested in some of your comments.

Now, having said that, yes, Brad has the right to cut me loose from this site right now if he so chooses. This is HIS site.

I find it terrible that a private conversation is being used to destroy someone's image. I think Dog's son will someday look back on this with regret.

I don't think anyone would defend what Dog said. I do think he sounds racist. And he has the complete freedom to say whatever he wants whenever he wants. But free speech doesn't mean that it's free of any kind of consequences. I can say that my boss is a dumb ass who couldn't tell the difference between a bean and a doughnut hole, but I don't have the right to expect my job to be secure when I say something that inflammatory.

Dog's boss is the media and the public. They shun racism or any apperance therein.

i didn't mention any names so you must be feeling guilty about something. i can use the same logic as you can.

no i am not claiming that. and if i did i wouldn't.

If you're going to speak out on current events, maybe you should actually READ the news. Especially when it's two months old!

No, you simply said "most".

Actually, had you READ, you would see most of us have been DEFENDING Dog's right to say what he said. We're simply not getting outraged at his firing, because that was A&E's right.

Dog DOES have a right to work, danielost. I'm sure his local WalMart would happily employ him as a stockboy.

i do believe that he will continue to be a bounty hunter don't you.

and i do agree what he said was wrong but he still had the right to say it.

your right little whip no body has a right to a JOB. but everyone has the right to work. unless you want more people living off of the government.

you wanna feel sorry for someone, chris elliot--or 'skink the bounty hunter,' is an appropriately innocent victim who will now be unable to work that character thanks to dog's stupidity.

"you people have condemned them both with out going to court and in the case of dog. there is no reason for a court case. unless he sues his son for invasion of privacy"

If you are talking about Vick. He pleaded guilty to the charges I believe, and offered a public apology. Dog hasn't been charged with any crime but he clearly made the statements, as they are on tape, whatever the context, being in the public domain they probably violate the terms of the deal with A & E, which is why he was suspended pending investigation. He has also offered a public apology and now he's doing the talk show circuit. The sure fire celebrity healing process I'm sure. Can't be on my show cause I got it kicked off the air so sure I'll go on your shows, give me a fucking break

"I find it terrible that a private conversation is being used to destroy someone's image. I think Dog's son will someday look back on this with regret."

Anger, regret and shame, LOL. Boo hoo huh. I find it is right where Dog was gonna be one way or the other, in the middle of the spotlight, 24/7. Circumstances don't matter to him as long as the cameras are on this guy. It is unfortunate for the rest of us who have to put up with the media airing this dirty laundry all over the place.

"Actually, had you READ, you would see most of us have been DEFENDING Dog's right to say what he said. We're simply not getting outraged at his firing, because that was A&E's right."

If you recall it took the Richards story about a week to develop last year and it was a you tube event. The Imus thing, very similar but it took about 2 weeks for them to pull him off the air, A&E moved much quicker and to their credit suspended the show rather than outright canceling it. They will end up canceling it unless Dog can pull of a Bill Clintonesque type salvage of the situation.

"He lost his job because he's a freakin' criminal, and yeah, he's free to look for work elsewhere, but the NFL does not owe him a living."

I believe Vick, has been suspended not expelled from the NFL. Meaning when he gets out and has served his time, a team could still pick him up to play.

"but everyone has the right to work. unless you want more people living off of the government."

Where are you from Danielost? How old are you? Just curious.

IF the commissioner decides, Dan. His suspension is indefinite, meaning the commish pretty much gets to say whether Vick comes back or not. And given the general treatment of sports towards anyone involved in gambling, his chances appear very slim.

And if the state DOES tack on chargers, Vick could actually be looking at several years' imprisonment, meaning he will be removed from his prime if he ever returns. Yes, the legs will still be there, but age has a way of doing funny things.

Dog is one of those kind of impulsive people who might actually kill himself in this situation. Maybe I'm wrong, but he does go to far in a lot of different areas, not to joke about it.

"IF the commissioner decides, Dan. His suspension is indefinite, meaning the commish pretty much gets to say whether Vick comes back or not. And given the general treatment of sports towards anyone involved in gambling, his chances appear very slim."

Yup, there's always the chance there will be a new commissioner. A lot can happen in a year or two or three. People forget, people move on. I bet Michael Richards is getting gigs even after his missteps.

"And if the state DOES tack on chargers, Vick could actually be looking at several years' imprisonment, meaning he will be removed from his prime if he ever returns. Yes, the legs will still be there, but age has a way of doing funny things."

Lol. Your talking to a Brett Favre fan here, he's 38, breaking all kinds of NFL records still, and playing at a pro-ball game level. The media has been asking him when he plans to retire since 1998. Frankly, I was sick of it then, and with each passing year/month/day, he is asked again and again, and without end. Castro will probably retire before Favre so I wish they would stop asking.

Point being, I'd rather not count out a player or person because he has made mistakes. Clearly, the lifestyle isn't what he was prepared to deal with, the celebrity gets all kinds of people into trouble. I would rather see, Vick, serve his time, do his community service, reshape and refocus his outlook on life, move on, and have the sport allow him to do that as well by moving on with him. If he is rehabilitated. If he reverts into another criminal situation, then my opinion radically changes. It is based on his actions and alone his actions.

Same with Dog. Fix what's broken, but pay the price, in this case, Dog is getting additional spotlight time which he/his clan/the wife crave, and he doesn't stand to lose anything yet for his actions, except his TV gig. Which maybe should be the limit of it.

Yeah, it worked for the Chicago 8!

You know, my wife's from Wisconsin. I spent twelve years there. I missed Favre's lengthy prison sentence in the prime of his career. Did he play the games with an ankle bracelet?

Favre never stopped playing, Dan, and that's the point. Vick is out of the game. Favre also never depended on his legs to carry him. Vick has, at best, an average arm, and as his legs deteriorate he becomes less useful. Show me an NFL running back still putting up Pro Bowl numbers in their mid-30's. They are very rare, Dan, and face it, all Vick was was a running back with a good arm.

"You know, my wife's from Wisconsin. I spent twelve years there. I missed Favre's lengthy prison sentence in the prime of his career. Did he play the games with an ankle bracelet?"

Lol very funny, I was just making the point that people have been saying for years he's washed up or, his best years are behind him, or when are ya gonna retire. Favre made some mistakes as a man too, with an addiction to pain killers that nearly killed him.

"Vick is out of the game."

"Favre also never depended on his legs to carry him."
All throughout highschool his father never let him throw the ball because he made bad throwing decisions.

"Vick has, at best, an average arm, and as his legs deteriorate he becomes less useful. Show me an NFL running back still putting up Pro Bowl numbers in their mid-30's. They are very rare, Dan, and face it, all Vick was was a running back with a good arm."

All good and accurate points, Vick is only an average QB which won't save him, he'll need another angle if he can become successful in the NFL again.
