Trying to find a pic of the shirt to gauge the level of this controversy.

ETA: yeah, it’s what you think it is…

quote:

Murphy's bar owner Ty Hingle says a T-shirt design poking fun at an LSU rival will not be used after concern that it featured a homophobic slur.
Murphy’s created a T-shirt "intended as a lighthearted jab" at the Texas A&M Aggies, Hingle said, an SEC opponent that will face off against the Tigers in Death Valley on Sept. 26.
"While the wording was not meant to reference anything controversial, we recognize the layout was not thought through carefully enough and unintentionally caused concern," he sent in an email to WBRZ.

I still have my “beat the cocks” t shirt from when we played South Carolina in 2012.

Man has the world gotten soft.

Just go look at how many people are upset about what Arch said about the AI Holly Rowe video. People are pissed about an obvious joke.

I’m so sick of everyone tiptoeing around, afraid or apologizing for micro-comments and tones. I blame the fact that there are cameras on everyone 24/7 and social media making everything go viral and people getting cancelled. I respect gay people and all types. Even Aggies. But fk this bullshite. And no, i didn’t even look at what the t shirt said.

It says "Faggies"... yeah, that isn't a smart one to print. They were stupid to think that was ok.

Seriously, who will protest? The ones who *might* aren’t their crowd anyway. Might just be doing it to call attention to their obviously lame-arse shirt to try to boost sales.

It's ok.

The irony is having "STTDB" underneath that line. Anyone wesring the shirt looks like he's asking the "faggies" for sexual favors. Very poor shirt design choice.

If you don’t like the shirt, don’t go to Murphy’s or buy the shirt!
