Bill Parcells apologized Monday for calling the surprise plays used in practice "Jap plays," saying the remark was inappropriate.


The Dallas Cowboys coach was talking to reporters at the team's minicamp about how his quarterbacks coach and defensive coordinator try to outdo each other when he made the comment, perhaps a reference to Japan's 1941 surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.


"You've got to keep an eye on those two, because they're going to try to get the upper hand," Parcells said about quarterbacks coach Sean Payton and defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. "Mike wants the defense to do well, and Sean, he's going to have a few ... no disrespect for the Orientals, but what we call Jap plays. OK. Surprise things."


After a murmur in the room of reporters, which included a Japanese journalist, Parcells repeated, "No disrespect to anyone."


"Bill Parcells is a brilliant coach," John Tateishi of the Japanese-American Citizen's League, a national civil rights group told DallasNews.com. "Unfortunately, he is ignorant about racial slurs. I take great offense by what he said. Parcells ought to know better. He sorely needs more education on what is offensive and non-offensive to Japanese-Americans. I am shocked that he would say this."


Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple apologized on behalf of the organization, and Parcells later issued a statement.


"Today during my news conference I made a very inappropriate reference, and although I prefaced it with the remark, 'no disrespect to anyone intended,' it was still uncalled for and inconsiderate. For that I apologize to anyone who may have been offended," he said.

However, people in the public eye have been fired from their jobs for making less of a racial remark.

How much bullsh!t is the public supposed to tolerate.

This comment is no big deal. This political correctness crap is out of hand.

And furthermore...

So professional athletes can rape and decapitate people... but not supposed to make a JAP remark!

Give us a break!

(Not directly referring to Kobe on the rape comment.) I say no way he raped her. She is a low down slut and should not even be allowed to file charges!

Dave Campo could get fired for remarks like that. Not Bill Parcells.

It makes me nauseous that it is even an issue that he said "Jap plays"

What a pathetic country this is becoming that something like this is an issue. What worthless, loser, scumbag, people that have no life whatsoever are even making this into something?

How bout this for a quote...

Bill Parcells had the following to say, "Quarterbacks coach Sean Payton is working hard with Quincy Carter. It is great fun to see that LITTLE MONKEY running all those JAP PLAYS!!!
"HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW!??!", said Parcells.

(Just in case... This is a joke... not an actual Tuna quote)
