re: Murphy’s bar apologized for LSU/A&M shirt with possible homophobic slur.

if they were being sold in a shitty Arab tshirt store on Decatur St no one would know or care

The shirt shouldn't be sold bc of a slur, the shirt shouldn't be sold bc STTDB is the most cringe tag line in sports.

Whatever your position on the shirt may be as far as "should they/should they not" there's no arguing that it features a gay slur.

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

It wasn’t smart in “today’s climate.” Today’s climate sucks. It’s better that the past in that people who are different are more accepted and not discriminated against but as with most things humans do, society has swung to the other extreme where free speech and discourse are highly restricted. So you get people who are afraid or resentful on both sides of whatever hyper polarized issue is being referenced. For any issue there are two acceptable but extreme takes to choose from.

I don’t get it. Why did they get in trouble for callin A&M by their mascot.

Didn’t yall get the memo? We aren’t apologizing for being normal human beings anymore. Call people figs all you want. It’s not like you want anything bad to happen to actual gay people, so what’s the problem?

r/BatonRouge melting over it.

not offensive but not very clever either. They can do better

Or maybe the world has grown less tolerant of homophobia.

It’s all getting so tiresome.


And the fans clamoring for Neck is just as bad, but they cannot fathom why its classless.
