There's no excuse for Harper to use this word, nor for him to generally say stupid things. Others who also have no excuse:
- Harper's Washington Nationals 66 year old field manager Dusty Baker, who is quoted in the ESPN Magazine article, and is old enough to know better
- Nationals upper management and ownership
- Commissioner Rob Manfred, the A-Rod Slayer.
