The purpose of my final two questions posed to Twins outfielder Torii Hunter at today’s news conference was not to make him feel uncomfortable or to force him to expound on his previously stated views on gay marriage.


BS

This is getting to be the liberal-policy version of jankenpon, or rock-paper-scissors: black trumps woman, gay trumps black, woman trumps gay. Torii Hunter (sounds like a man who searches for Shinto shrines, but I digress) has been a good baseball player, and also someone who has worked hard to rebuild baseball's cachet in the black community, to bring black youth back to baseball. Doesn't matter: rock crushes scissors, scissors cut paper, paper sits on rock, gay trumps black.

So being anti-homosexual is bigoted? OK. So be it.

Nothing more clearly illustrates the frenzied, but determined, bias of much of the media, than their tendency to apply ridiculous & inappropriate labels to those with whom they disagree. This type of mislabeling makes it virtually impossible to hold an intelligent conversation with this type of reporter.

Of course, they will cry foul if someone labels them back, but to gratuitously characterize the view of most peoples over the past centuries, as to a particular type of behavior, as "bigoted," without offering any reason for doing so, pretty much disqualifies the reporter in question, without the need to label..

"My purpose...was not to make him feel uncomfortable or to force him to expound on his previously stated views on gay marriage."""

of course not,sure/////////s

I don't know anything about all this, or who they are, but the fact that he made the above statement means that was exactly his intent as he already knew the "view on gay marriage"

Don’t sweat it. For some reason I read the headline as saying Torii Hunter was saying all who are anti-homosexual behavior are pricks. I had to read the article twice to understand who was calling who a “prick”.

So great (weak?) minds think alike I guess.

.....I was sorry to see him leave the Angels.

Me too. Torii was a leader on and off the field.

Ya gotta watch out for those gay-activist sports reporters. When they fire loaded questions at you just tell them you have nothing against homosexuals and that you support traditional marriage. Thats it. If pressed on what you think of homosexuals say: That’s none of my business.

It is a trait of NORMAL men that they are disgusted by the BEHAVIOR of homosexuals. If that’s bigotry, then NORMAL is the new “N” word!

Oh, no... did he really say that?

I... I can’t believe it.

Wounding people with words is so hurtful.

I think I’m going to cry.

Someone please hold my hand.

Deadspin is the Gawker/Wonkette of sports, id est: Garbage.

yep...it's infested with single, self absorbed, white "hipsters" who think they know what's best for everyone else (especially minorities). They certainly don't tolerate dissent over there. An echo chamber of the worst kind.

Homosexuality is a perversion, homosexual acts are unhygienic, homosexual “culture” spreads disease and destroys lives. There is absolutely nothing good about homosexuality or homosexual behavior.

And this reporter seems like a real jackass, and obsessed with sodomy.

> A few seconds later, during a lull in the press conference, Hunter decided to tell everybody what he thought of Berardino and his questions. “Hey Mike is kind of a prick huh? No, seriously, you’re a prick man. I don’t even know you. You’re a prick. Seriously. Ain’t nothing wrong with that man, that’s your job. He’s definitely a prick though.”

Bravo to the quasi-coherent ball player for standing up to the shill!

Here’s a hand holder for ya so you will feel better.

So one night at the dinner table surrounded by the men of the family (two teen sons and one husband), Sarajohnson said something very hurtful.

They were all whining about something I had done and would not stop so SaraJohnson told them if they did not whining like little girls, their d!c_s would fall off and they would all grow pu$$ys.

Then, a couple of years later, one of the evil sons with a very good memory, a senior, had to put his favorite quote in the year book and he used this quote from SaraJohnson claiming author unknown (thank God).

So the moral of the story is - males, don’t whine like little girls. The consequence are even worse than masturbation. : )
