Steve Elkington ?@elkpga 56m
ESPN reporting Michael Sam is leading the handbag throw at NFL combine....
No one else expected to throw today
I really don't understand. Why do this? I don't know why somebody in the public eye, who stands lose easy money via sponsorships, would flush it all down the toilet like this.

This is just dumbassery at its finest. And I really don't care what the subject is.

I always liked Elk on the Jim Rome show back in the day when he would trash Colin Montgomerie and the Smothers Brothers.

He really doesn't have any sponsorships. He uses a golf website/forum that he helped create for his bag sponsor and last year used a mix of taylormade and titleist clubs.

People have the same right to have a negative reaction to what he said that he has to say what he did say.

That includes employers and sponsors.

Probably doesn't have all that much as far as sponsors go these days, has plenty of money and likes that he no longer has to filter himself to appease everyone.

Well, he's not helping himself.

I don't like the fact that you have to watch what you say all the time these days, but he stands more of a chance to make easy money than I do and I just don't get why he would say something like this, even if I'm the kind of guy who likes jokes.

I didn't quote the entire passage because I didn't feel it was necessary, but the butthurt over him making a joke implies he did something wrong.

He didn't.

And if this is the case then good for him. I just hate when people say things then complain when there are reactions to what they say. Then i have to go on facebook and shake my head at the fact that 70% of our population doesnt have a clue what freedom of speech is.

If the government is not involved, what does freedom of speech have to do with anything?
