University of Arkansas Athletic Director Using the N-Word
LITTLE ROCK -- Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles acknowledged Thursday during Nolan Richardson's discrimination trial that he repeated a racial slur while recounting for a small group a question that had been posed to him in 2000.
Broyles testified that he said the word in front of people attending a banquet -- but that he did so while repeating a question by Razorback Foundation board member Jim Lindsey, a former Razorback football player, now a wealthy developer who sits on the university board.
According to Broyles: "A friend of the Razorbacks called and asked this question, the question, `Is there any difference in a black person calling someone of the Caucasian race a redneck S.O.B. than a white person using the word N.S.O.B.?'
"And I said `n-----,' regrettably," Broyles said.
Broyles said outside court, during a break in testimony, that it was the only time he had ever used the slur.

Broyles is on some bull-crap. If you have said once you have said it twice. Honestly on the discrimination issue I understand where Nolan Richardson is coming from yet, we have to remember Richardson was fired soon after he lashed out at TV media who was questioning him on his losing season. In short he stated, "I made Arkansas basketball, and I don't want any media in my practices questioning me on nothing."
I understand his anger but sometimes you have to know how to voice your anger.
