Justin Thomas and slurs
Apr 8, 2021, 7:02 PM

Sorry for posting this here but I had to reach out to someone. Justin Thomas recently used a homophobic slur when he hit a bad shot. He was roundly criticized and had at least one sponsor cancel on him. I read an article that said if it had been a racial slur he would have been suspended indefinitely. But he just now hit a bad shot and shouted "Jesus Christ, Justin!" I think some will find that offensive, taking the Lord's name in vain. Does anyone think there will be any backlash?

I personally just think they should keep the microphones

away. I daresay, if any of us had directional microphones following us around on a bad day at work, we would have parents covering their kids ears all over the country. If they did this at an NFL game during plays, for instance, the sound would probably just be one constant BLEEEP.

Of course not and that’s the way it should be

I don’t care what he says.
Microphones shouldn’t be allowed. Wanna play wanna play devils adovate? Let’s mic every NBA and NFL player. How about translate some Spanish and mic MLB.
It’s stupid. And NBC and everyone else making a big deal out of it is just as bigoted for calling it out.
As for using thy name in vain. That’s between him and our Creator. I shall not judge.

Think your not comprehending the fact that NBC could care less when it comes to offending a Christian yet when it comes to a male with a thong on, you had better watch your language. Overall, it’s probably a Justin Thomas issue.
The only part that offends me is someone being shocked at anything that NBC does. Try watching their coverage of the trial of the Cop in Minnesota and it’ll kind of make you want to puke a little.

anything controversial they are beside themselves. CBS golf coverage with Faldo is pitiful.I know a lot of people dislike Patrick Reed and I get that. However what Faldo and his buddy Jim Nance did to him at the Farmer's Insurance open was despicable. Reed knew he cameras all over him. He did everything by the book which the head official stated at the end in handling the plugged ball situation. He called for an official when Rory who had a somewhat similar situation did not. As far as language goes-I'm sure you guys remember Tiger's colorful metaphors and I don't remember those being a huge deal in the past. We are all human for those going the biblical route. That's why there is this thing called grace and the New Covenant. No one can keep all the laws that precede us. Go hang out in Leviticus if you doubt my assertion.
Bottom line-why do so many people have targets painted on them. Why is there preferential treatment given to some but not others? I imagine someone saw a Trump sticker somewhere on Justin's golf bag or something and went ballistic. How much more childish can we get??

Microphones aren't going away

Up close microphones are what viewers expect and that ain't changing. It's part of the negotiated TV package.
Among golfers, Tiger Woods has been burned by them more than anyone else. LOL, at least he won't have to worry about that again.
The 7-second delay and mute button prevents the vast majority of inappropriate words from TV audiences.

He has filthiest mouth on tour but can’t criticize him. He’s untouchable.
