He's a good old fashioned homophobe and racist.

 

Makes it even easier to cheer against him on Saturday.

As a black man...I don't see the way he was using the n word as being racist. He clearly just thought it was ok for him to use the way black people do. He was likely enabled and given a pass by close black friends. What he failed to realize was that pass is only good around them and not in public.

 

Also the use of the word f***** doesn't necessarily mean he was homophobic either. He did it before it was frowned upon as much and was a common derogatory term that really didn't hold its literal meaning but a terrible way to insult someone. 

 

The homophobic thing is up in the air for me but I can easily tell from context if a white person using the n word that ends in an 'a' ID being racist with its use or trying to be cool at the wrong time and place.

"Pat Ricard out here playing like the Titans Defense stole his Doordash order" 😂

 

But seriously .... a 300 lb guy who can move and catch....

100 percent a problem. He scares the crap out of me!

Thank you for posting that. He sounds like a racist, homophobic POS, and I hope he has a very bad game.

How do you feel about how he views gay people? F***t hadn’t been ok in a couple of decades (at least) except among homophobes.

He’s a monster. He should mix in on the D line for them he’d probably be quite good there too 

 

 

Not this week though 😂

 

He used to play defense.

I don’t like double standards or discrimination of any kind. There are very few topics I will take a major stand on here, but I’ll die on this hill. 

 

 

 

Edit: This works both ways, which may be unpopular with some. I’ll stand by that, but I’d prefer to move on to more positive and productive topics.

If any of us had twitter as a 15 or 16 year old, pretty sure there would be a lot of crazy stuff on there.

You can't assume this...trust me I know....I have heard multiple gay people call others a f**** in a derogatory manner. They clearly have no issue with gays. 

 

Is it terrible? Yes! Does it necessarily mean homophobia? No! People interchange that word with other derogatory names and mean the same thing. None of it being intended as some attack on gays. Especially considering he was a kid...come on now. 

 

AGAIN...he coulda very well have been, or still is a homophobe but those tweets from his teenage years isn't enough proof for me.

When did he use the word... 1950?
