"Homophobic slur" reported as fact -- no "alleged" and no way to judge whether it was anything at all, much less a "slur" against homosexuals or whether there was anything irrationally fearful about it.

"you're a faggot"
To: Hunton Peck
Perhaps it was misinterpreted as “Blew gays.”

Maybe he was trying to COMPLIMENT the other players. “Congratulations, you are a homosexual!” Gay pride, you know.

What does it read when he looks in the mirror?

“Diversity Central, we’ve got a problem...”/s;)
To: Hunton Peck
No way he wrote that himself. I suspect someone was having a little jike at his expense.
At least.....that’s the story he oughta stick to....
To: JoeDetweiler
“Jike” being a homosexual dogwhistle for.....dogwhistle.
To: hole_n_one
So, when the AP says “[t]he slur did not appear to be directed at any person in particular”, they’re saying he called everyone a faggot, I guess...

Homophobic shouldn’t even be a word.

Homophobic shouldnt even be a word.I guess homophobic is supposed to mean an abnormal fear of homos.
To: Isabel C.
“I guess homophobic is supposed to mean an abnormal fear of homos.”
But in practical parlance today, it means: Anyone who disagrees with a liberal.
To: Hunton Peck
Well, about the only way one would really spot this is if they were trying to look deep into his eyes.....
And read Spanish - should not affect non Spanish speaking (reading) people.
Then again, maybe he was ‘advertising’
Much ado about nothing.

Without my glasses I thought the headline said “hoplophobic slur.” For a moment, there was hope.
