I can see how the administration
could come to that conclusion via assumption...but coming to any conclusion via assumption doesn't necessarily make that conclusion valid. Basically, I can see how they could suspect that "hailing the monkey" could have a different meaning that buckeye intended...but I don't see how they could try to pursue any type of repercussions simply because they think that he may have meant something perverted. Now, had he said we "spank the monkey" before every meet, or even "we hail the monkey, if you know what I mean..." (
please visit this thread for more information on that subject) that would be a horse of a different color...but he didn't, he said only "hail the monkey", which really isn't similar to "spank the monkey" at all. If saying a phrase that was one word away from being perverted was a persecutable offense, I wouldn't be able to say things like "I'm going to visit the clown" because "visit" could be replaced with "punch."
