The double standard again:
After covering his eyes and firing round after round of verbal bullets at teammates and Roger Goodell, as well as posing with very real guns, Harrison issued a long apology, tweeted by Josina Anderson of Showtime's Inside the NFL.
After calling Roger Goodell a word used for hate speech against homosexuals and saying, "If that man was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I wouldn't do it. I hate him and will never respect him," in a recent article in Men's Journal, Harrison said this about his choice of words:I also need to make clear that the comment about Roger Goodell was not intended to be derogatory against gay people in any way. It was careless use of a slang word and I apologize to all who were offended by the remark. I am not a homophobic bigot, and I would never advocate intolerance of gay people.

And the reaction to the slur? It "raised some eyebrows" only.
His license to say and do whatever he wants is his skin color. Case closed.
ReplyDeleteBTW, take note of the mysterious, and oh-so unusual silence from the radical gay community. Hmmm...
I think it's interesting that he apologized to the gay community, but not to the man he actually slurred.
ReplyDeleteThat's a non-apology if I ever heard one.
He should be let go completely fro such insubordination. Any of us would have been fired and brought up on charges if we made such a statement about our bosses.
Let him find a job somewhere else.
