CBS Pittsburgh reports that Paul Smith, the chief of the volunteer fire department in Cecil Township, Pennsylvania, posted on Facebook that Tomlin just added himself to the list of no-good n*ggers for his decision to note take the field during the anthem.
Yes, I said it, Smith added afterward.
Many people in the town reacted angrily to Smiths post, and said it was inappropriate for a town official to spout racism.
Im completely upset, especially for a town like this, coming from the fire chief, thats disrespectful in my eyes, said Cecil Township resident Dylan Pareso. I dont agree with it one bit.
Smith apparently realized that hed made a big mistake, as he quickly sent a message to CBS Pittsburgh apologizing for his racist rant.
