Coach punished for “faggot dance” insult; breaks down in tears while apologizing to gay and lesbian community [video]
”I know most of the coaches in the country are rooting for us to beat Notre Dame. … [Coach] 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…. Don’t write that ‘faggot’ down. I was misquoted. Just please … cover for me,” McMackin said. “Go ahead, say ‘faggot dance.’ No. Please cover for me on that, too — right Karl? I’ll deny it…. I want to officially, officially apologize. Please don’t write that statement I said as far as Notre Dame…. I don’t want to come out and have every homosexual ticked off at me. You know what I mean, because I don’t have any problem with homosexuals….
