Until the twitter mob got a hold of him to try to spoil his entire evening. I was kinda pissed that Tua didn't win but this actually infuriates me way more.

Imagine for one moment joining the best fraternity on the planet and some dork in a basement reports this crap totally killing your entire buzz.

People who choose not to forgive, don't deserve forgiveness.

Should have stopped right there before going into your "but maybe" B.S. Posts like this are what's wrong with the internet.

Yep. Kyler called his friends the dreaded "f" word (look out that window) when he was a freshman and sophomore in high school and some yahoo from USA Today tries to make it a story an hour after he wins the Heisman?

edit: looks like he didn't even call them ******s but instead called them "queers". Good lord, our t-shirts used to say "steers and queers....". People have got to stop apologizing for this bullsh.

I thought queers was an accepted term........the "letter train" that describes them is LGBTQ. If not acceptable, what does the Q stand for?

He'll be playing ball in the Bay Area. He may have his own section of boo-birds.

He shouldn't have apologized.

Billy Beane is certainly a smarter baseball executive than I am but I won't be surprised if he's stuck with the Midland Rockhounds for a long time in which case he'll have nothing to worry about.

Good lord. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Let's see a show of posts from people on this board whe never used the "f" word or far worse as a teenager. If cell phone cameras and social media existed when my generation was growing up we would all have to go into hiding. This is rediculous.

There's a thread on forum 16 about this and maybe that's where it belongs but here's the guy who waited for an hour after the ceremony to write this.

This dude doesn't have an agenda or anything. USA Today is tabloid trash. If they want to salvage any sort of integrity this guy will be given the pink slip by lunch time TODAY.

I remember just 15-20 years ago when it was weird if kids weren't saying "gay-wad", "******", "queer-bait", as general insults. Times change in a hurry.

I know this isn't the R&P board but I'm not sure that's how the forgiveness thing works.

People could have brought it up before the ceremony in hopes of costing him votes. That would have been bad. While it's not much of a story, there was nothing really salacious in the article. Did Kyler say it? I agree it's not that big of a deal but he did say it.

What shocks me is how many of these people don't go back and scrub their twitter accounts. Times change. Before you step out in a national stage, go back and check your account before everyone else does.

Good lord. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

I believe the correct version is: Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. Jesus probably knew the correct pronoun

When is one of these celebrities gonna step up & tell pc masses to shove it...

I wish somebody would just say "sorry you're butthurt, but I think gay jokes are funny"

Or race jokes, or religion jokes, or whatever

Why do they keep appeasing the pc pieces of *****

He was probably speaking Aramaic if he said it at all.

To keep getting paid. Employers don't like people who piss off a large part of their customer base.

I think Kevin Hart refused to apologize and that's why he's not hosting the Oscars.

And a few comedians have. Seinfeld and Chris Rock (and lots of others I'm sure) refuse to play college campuses anymore because of the sensitive P.C. bullies.

Well this may bring it all full circle. We've now reached peak intersectionality of R&P, Politics, and A&M related football.

Look, a vicious slur targeting the vertically challenged!

Once, there was even a song that said they "got no reason to live"!

i don't know why people use twitter unless one is really important in terms of what one says.

I am not, so I deleted all my likes and tweets because i don't want a moran to look at my tweet and assume things about me. same with linkedin, i don't post or like anything controversial. for example, there are articles about good and bad bosses and i don't want my current boss to assume I am talking about him when i may be talking about a previous boss

not worth it. create a fake account and tweet if you want

What a great moment for Kyle Murray...


I thought this thread was going to be about refusing to go back into the Alabama game or having to leave the Auburn game due to a routine hit that 100% of college football QBs should be able to take....
