Thanks for clarifying, but I don't think it changes the initial point. Is "faggot" more derogatory in your book? I am having trouble keeping track of the levels of offensiveness, I just know that the pillowbiters are very easily outraged. Must have something to do with walking around with a sore ass all the time.

ah that is indeed derogatory ... he shouldnt have called him an old English term connoting a stick-used-for-kindling. Very insulting. (I have no idea why it became the derogatory term for homosexual though; queer used to be a derogatory term, until the (ahem) queers started calling themselves that. Funny how that naming stuff goes. )

According to ESPN, the term he used was "faggot". Okay, a little worse, but come on. They're football players. So they have a little verbal skirmish. So what? He could have said, "What are you, a girl." Same thing. Or sissy. These guys smash each other to the ground for a living. Do we need to turn them in to a bunch of touchy-feely women?
What is the world coming to?
