Bosh said, "That's a very tough situation.Ā  It's kind of like if that's the case you should ban all slur words.Ā  And I know it's a big deal because that word is used too much especially in mainstream these days.Ā  I don't know how they're going to implore that, it's a tough thing.Ā  It's your word against his word.Ā  I think that can get kind of tricky."

Bosh said the word is used on the basketball court.

Bosh said he is okay with penalties but "there's a bunch of other things I could say and not get a penalty. If you're going to put one thing in, you have to put em all in a hat and that'll work out a lot better."
