There are so many other words that could have been used. The English language has no shortage of ways to poke fun at a person or people you don't like, as West Virginia men's basketball coach Bob Huggins was apparently trying to do in a recent Cincinnati radio interview when asked about his onetime rival, Xavier.
And Huggins chose a gay slur. Twice, just to bring his point home.
That came after the show's co-host, Bill Cunningham, vomited forth his own transphobic quip about fans at Xavier earlier this week.
