The whole gay organizations getting in the middle of this doens't make any sense. Kinda like the clowns Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton when they get in the middle of something considered racially motivated, or when they want to skew it that way.
I'm more than sure LJ doesn't hate gays. I don't hate gays. Doesn't mean I don't use the word faqqot a lot. And I bet he does too. A lot of people do, and to be honest I don't think it's at all like calling a back person the N-word. It's much different.
Should have LJ handled that differently? Sure. His remarks about the coach reflect the team, which is the most important. I understand his frustrations with the team. They havent won nearly shit in 2-3 seasons. 7-31 is the Chiefs record since the last few seasons including this current one. LJ's performaces reflect this obviously. His comments made about the coach and his credentials are very uncalled for. There are coaches out there that are great coaches that never played professionally. Belichick to be named....and Haley grew up around some of the greatest football people EVER.
The whole faqqot calling is stupid. It's minor. The reporters need to sack up and grow a pair. Jesus Christ...seriously. It's a locker room after a game in which they just got their asses kicked....this isn't nearly as bad as some of the shit players like Michael Irvin used to do. Guys call eachother faqqots, queers, pussies, etc all the time. It doesn't require an apology or press conference apologizing. Uncalled for IMO. Stupid, waste of time. If anything, suspend his ass for his comments to the coach.

I hope you're kidding. It wasn't just a reporter. It wasn't joking around with his pals. He called a fan a bundle of sticks and then told him he must hang out in some gay area. What do you mean he doesn't have to apologize? If I ever did that where I worked, I wouldn't even have a chance to apologize. I would be canned and HR would do everything they could to avoid a PR nightmare.
Don't excuse somebody for being a dipshit.
