You have a very good grasp with that comment. I must say that sometimes, with the individual of the world stature of a Brady, it puts proper focus on these issues. So,it’s not huge overall, but good that it was focussed on.
There are kinds of sub issues here.
1) The appropriateness of certain words and what consequences they bear.
2) The legality of certain words in some jurisdictions and the different legal responses applied, where one does NOT have the “right” to say anything.
3) The use of certain rude words and whether, in polite conversation they should be used and whether anything at all should be done in response.
I personally try to avoid use of many words of 1), all of 2), but do indeed use some of the worst in 3).
Only a few persons need to be pilloried, but in this case, certainly not the GOAT.
