So The Snowflake Soft-Handed Oxygen Thieves Now After Kyler


Dec 9, 2018, 11:00 AM

Kid wins the Heisman and some troll colony goes after him for calling some of his acquaintances "q u e e r s" on Twitter when he was 14. Sorry social justice warriors "q u e e r" is a word you hijacked, it had meaning long before sexually diverse people appropriated it. Snowflakes have it way too easy in Murica, send them to Iraq, Syria, Russia, N. Korea or another of the world's more enlightened nations and they would pull you fingernails out just for thinking about being diverse.

I feel bad for him and understand his need for an apology. Yet, I wish someone would stand up to them with a " Sorry if someone is offended by the remarks of a 14 year old." Point out if you are offended, it's on you for being too sensitive and indignant. SMH

And why would these comments surface immediately after he wins an award.
These so called "people" are trying to use his name to promote their agenda.
How low will you stoop to go back to the comments of a 14 yr old.
I put this in the category of "bring home the bacon", a senseless statement.

It's not that big a deal in any way. Him as Heisman winner, public figure, the accompanying platform does mean public scrutiny. Someone observing and saying something like I hope you've grown out of that, shouting "queer" or similar as a joke/insult is also not a big deal. It's not being too PC to simply speak with some consideration of such things. We evolve, learn and mature.

Well said. It's amazing how mad people get when asked to show consideration for others.

I'm not big on the screeching SJW condemnation of those who say a wrong word - that kinda self-righteousness can get annoying in a mighty big hurry - but on the other hand social mores change over time...and they should. We do not have all things right today and it's on us to at least try to do better tomorrow.

Basically, Golden Rule. Try to be decent to others, and they'll generally be decent back.

He's right.

The Golden Rule is strictly about my own behavior towards others. Considering the improved behavior they will probably return to me has nothing to do with it. That is sheer pragmatism that we pass off as "virtue", yet it is far from virtuous.
If we practice virtue as taught by Christ in the Golden Rule, we will treat everyone well regardless of their power or ability to return that same behavior to us, and we will even treat them well after being treated poorly at their hands.
The Golden Rule has no need to evolve.

Well, neither. I don't know the kid.

The kid was 14. He said something inappropriate...but...well, he was, you know, 14.

Good God Almighty, I don't wanna wind up judged the rest of my life for what I did at 14. Or 24. Or 34, for that matter. I did a lotta dumb stuff, like most red-blooded males...mostly for the reason, I just plain didn't know any better.

(As an aside...this is one of many reasons, actually, to avoid social media. It's a public record. Unless you're stone 4x4 certain whatever you post there today is going to withstand the test of time, you're best not posting anything. Digital media remembers. Which is its own problem. People forget, and for a reason. Otherwise we wind up killing each other with sharp objects for what we did or said when we were drunk 20 years ago. No good.)

The point is, when you get caught doing something dumb, or insensitive, or short-sighted - like all of us do - you own it, acknowledge it, apologize for it...and move on. It shouldn't be the end of the world.

Fortunately in this case, it ain't gonna cost the kid the Heisman. And it shouldn't.

Does the kid even owe the world an apology? Nope. Again...the kid was 14. But it'd be nice. Like: hey, I was a dumb young jerk, sorry. And hopefully the world would be accepting enough to accept the kid's indiscretion, and move on.

Alas, both sides seem entirely too polarized for that. Witness the craziness ensuing on other threads.

Yeah these “social media hero’s” need to go ahead and crawl back under the rock they came from. First he was a teenager do you really listen and take to heart what they say? Second it’s just a word. People really need to stop being so sensitive and let words hurt them. Our society is turning into a moody prepubescent girl that gets butthurt when ever someone says something they don’t agree with or don’t like. Tough $hit not everyone agrees or has the same morals and values. Get over this crap about how everyone should think and act the same. Our society is SCREWED if it keeps going down the path it’s on.

its wrong. Seriously. Queer is the word for Q. He didn't say a defamatory word. Is it ideal to call someone queer, probably not. Is it odeal to call someone homosexual jokingly? Probably not. But they aren't politically incorrect.
If you think so, where is the line? Can I walk up to 2 buddies and say "hello ladies" jokingly? I don't see the difference.
Fwiw, I'm liberal as hell.

Most normal dudes have a group of close friends that have hung out for years and usually have some set of derogatory words that you call each other but in reality they are words of endearment that come from past experiences, movies, song lyrics or just get created during golfing, fishing or tailgating. It's like the "Bro Code"! That said, it wasnt like he was trolling conversations to start problems, he was just joking with friends. Hell, I have seen some women friend groups that have more foul names for each other than guys do.

No way should Kyler even acknowledge the fact that he called a couple buddies queer! It isn't anyone's business what a 14yr old says 6yrs later. Obviously can't hold it against him!

If I were him, I wouldn't waste my time to even answer questions or respond to any concerned questions! Just move one on ñ
