the severity of his words

What happened to the old "sticks and stones" rule?

It apparently wasn't even directed at anybody but himself. Sorry Justin, we have to fire you because you called yourself a fig.

But even Tiger never said anything racist or homophobic or bigoted.


Neither did Justin Thomas. He simply uttered a derogatory word that popped in his head, he didn't drive his truck through a pride parade.

By who? Even Wal-Mart won't want him. Do you think Nike and Foot Joy are banging on his door?


Oh young Ralph, you have much to learn about the world

anti gay slur


I hate that term

Every time I read these things, there's nothing anti gay. He's not ripping on gays. He said a word that most grown men say.

What’s the difference between a gay slur and an anti-gay slur? It should also be noted that the man slurred himself, for crisesakes!

Uh, he was saying it to himself; so now you're excluding the preparator and the victim of the slur.

It was an excuse for a company that is hemorrhaging cash to get out of an expensive contract. No more and no less.
