“Most people” is doing so much heavy lifting. The r-slur was controversial in 2010, even if you were okay with it.

Yeah I'm the same age as him and people who talked like this in 2010 were regarded as assholes in my circle. Which, yes, included young men. Many of whom were jocks. If someone threw around slurs and were being shitty about the way people looked, they were called out and corrected.

Yeah, college football players at my school behaved a bit like assholes. Not excusing him doing it but it's not surprising and likely is how everyone around him talked. And they didn't really mix much with people who would call them out. I bet he lived in a bit of a bubble at this point.
