Homophobia is the sports world's new bigotry
San Jose Mercury News ^ | 07/19/2011 | Monte Poole

Posted on 08/04/2011 10:24:40 AM PDT by presidio9

When idiots of yore tossed slurs and epithets at sporting events, they had the sorry excuse of living in an America where segregation not only was common but also legislated.

Impolite folks too ignorant to know better and too lazy to learn routinely wrapped themselves in bigotry, sparing no one, as was discovered by Jewish slugger Hank Greenberg and black pioneer Jackie Robinson.

That was the 1930s and '40s and '50s, when many were denied civil rights and voting rights and the system was contaminated with the poisons of prejudice.

What's the excuse now that we're supposed to be so much more evolved?

Hatred within the sports community isn't gone; it simply has a popular new target. Instead of ethnicity, it's sexuality. With the K-word extinct and the N-word rarely uttered with malice, the new undisputed champion of epithets is the F-word.

Another Affirmative Action’d “journOlist” lecturing us that the only “victims” are PC types. Never the other way around is it?

I wonder how many better qualifieds didn’t get your job, Monte?

Well Monte, what say you about the current racists, who are almost inavariably “persons of color”.

After all they are “idiots and “too lazy to know better” too, now aren’t they.

Additionally, faggotry remains a perversion and deserves to be shunned. Few thinking people are intimidated any more by the ignorant, grossly inaccurate “homophobia”.

So, in short, shove your PC bullsh!t.

Equating bigotry based on ethnicity and race with bias against sexual practices is ridiculous. Our society judges sexual behavior constantly. No sexual practices conducted in public are lawful, and many sexual pracices conducted in private are unlawful. I insist (call me a bigot) than none of my personal relationships require to accept and embrace necrophilia, pedophilia or sodomy. I can interact with both straights and gays amiably, so long as neither demands or requires that I condone what they do in private. I don’t even want to know.

this is not limited to pro-sports. This is the same group of villans who were trying to access boys via the boy scounts.

So instead they want to access minors via the junior sports leagues.

What a laugh. As long as the N-word is used 100 times in every rap song and kept in 'the hood' then the word is fine.

shall we substitute any of the following and have the same article?:

polygamy,
wife swappers,
leather fetishists,
people who have sex with animals,

any sexual behavior can go in this non-article.

I know. I find cat sh*t repulsive, because it is. But it doesn't frighten me. Same with homosex.

In the MSM it has long been fostering the illusion that sexual deviancy is a particular problem specific to Catholic clergy. And it's working.

Whenever someone criticizes me for my opinion on homosexual acts, I simply tell them their argument is with God and not me. When they question that, I refer them to Romans I.
