This is like the Ministry of Truth in 1984. They go back and revise history by removing one of their all-time greats from their record books? Besides, all this does is draw more attention to his comments (that is, I don't know what he said, but now I might research it).

The guy admits that he is a racist and calls a guy the N word but removing him from a video game is "insane" and an "overreaction"?

He deserves anything he gets at this point. He said some harsh harsh words.

The N word has no place in today's society. As much as I enjoy seeing Hogan around....what he said....man. He messed up.

WWE is a publicly traded company now, this is something any major company would do when it comes to an iconic figure. What Hogan did was incredibly stupid and I'm glad wwe is cutting ties with him. As much as I was a Hulkamaniac growing up, **** like this has no place in today's society.

I wonder if wwe will try to scrub the N word from YouTube as well. You can find Booker T using it in a famous promo and even Vince drops it in some backstage promo. It's pretty unreal.

Like I said, not defending or justifying his racist and bigoted remarks but history is littered with known racists (Ty Cobb to name one) that we acknowledge today.

We need to deal with these sort of situations in a more constructive manner than just making him a pariah of the industry. Heavily fining him, having him do public speeches involving race relations (much like Mike Vick did with PETA to rehabilitate his image) and taking serious counseling would be a lot more helpful.

After extensive counseling, obviously. Of course no one has ever done speaking engagements for non-profit organizations after being involved in questionable activities or after being reformed.

Danny Trejo, Michael Vick and countless other individuals never had first hand knowledge and spoke up against their own past transgressions?!?!?!?
