And kindling? I don’t think you’d be allowed to throw a couple of faggots on the fire any more. We’ve all moved on these days.

Sorry but you cant use a homphobic slur on national TV and expect to get away with it these days. I think if you are gay you dont need to "find a way" to be offended by that particular term, it would just come naturally. In fact I am not gay and I was offended quite naturally, and didnt need to "find a way" to be offended. If you are in the public eye and expect sponsorship deals with national brands, then you have to live by a higher standard than using offensive language like that by the mic. Justin Thomas probably doesnt have a single gay friend, so he uses terms like that with his pals. Its sad really. If Justin Thomas muttered "n*****" after missing a putt to "let off some steam" would that be ok in your world?
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Can you tell me that's ok then.

It's not like he said it in earshot of a couple of members of the public walking down surrey street, now is it. What do you expect to happen – the commentator apologises and we all move on? The fact that it was clearly an automatic reaction which he said without thinking also adds even more on top – clearly part of a set of phrases he uses pretty often. He's probably a christian, so it makes sense. I would expect the viewing numbers at the time and post that run into the millions. Perfectly understandable that sponsors would pull or suspend contracts. Finally – the way you end your post implies that you think this sort of dross exits everyones mouth when annoyed or 'letting off steam'. Which is interesting.
Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons. |
