The University of Hawaii has suspended head football coach Greg McMackin for 30 days without pay for his offensive remarks about the Notre Dame Irish Football team. McMackin has also volunteered to take a 7 percent pay cut from his salary.

McMackin apologized to the Irish and those that were offended by his comments. "I know most of the coaches in the country are rooting for us to beat Notre Dame," McMackin said. "Charlie gives this talk, ‘We do something special at Notre Dame,’ and (the players) get up and they do this little cheer … this little faggot dance."

That's right, the head football coach of a Division I university (who recently played in a BCS game) called an opposing team's players "faggots". McMackin should be thanking his lucky star that he still has a job, much less that he was only suspended for a month of the off season.

McMackin's seemingly sincere apology may be enough to redeem him amongst the season ticket holders, but you can be certain that the Hawaii athletic administration will make sure that this was McMackin's first and final slip up of his career.

What is especially ironic about the situation is that a man who represents a athletic department who refers to itself as the "Rainbow Warriors" had the nerve to call someone else gay.
