I feel sorry for Lamey but believe his 'retirement' was justified. Lamey is a visible representative of this organization. He apparently told a joke where the punch line included the n word. Zero tolerance for a public organization like the Colts makes perfect sense. Among many people, in 2018, it is morally unacceptable for people to tell jokes that contain the n word. It doesn't brand Lamey as a racist or erase his decades of good work. But actions have consequences attached to them. For all involved those consequences were truly unfortunate.
