Of course he should have laughed it off. But I also find it understandable that he didn't. I don't feel you're a heartless racist. However, you have frequently argued positions on this board not from points of fact but from points of emotion. That something is right simply because it feels that way to you. So I will say it is suprising to see you reject that the words were offensive simply because they weren't offensive to you.

And if the award is stripped it is just for PR reasons. It isn't like somehow over the last three days the head butt has somehow become less appropriate that the decision needs to be reconsidered.
