Really tired of all the gay jokes.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I realize I'm not from Texas. I'm a Californian. However, I'm as much of a Spurs fan as any of you and I'm disgusted and embarrassed that there is so much phobic hate speech on this site, particularly about Richard Jefferson.

I have no idea if he is gay or not. I don't care. What I do know is even if he was, it has nothing to do with him being a ty basketball player and a soft one. There is zero relationship between one thing and the other and anyone who thinks otherwise is ignorant at best or a bigot at worst.

Regardless of whether people here mean what they write or it's said in jest, it really has gotten way out of hand and it sickens me, calling the guy a " got" because he doesn't go to the basket or whatever. It's 2012, people should stop thinking this way. You're better than that. Quit embarrassing yourselves, embarrassing the Spurs and embarrassing me.

Frankly, I'm surprised and disappointed that L.J. and Kori have let it go on this much and haven't policed it better.

Anyway, Jefferson is gone. I hope all your phobia goes with him. It's just sad.

Ummm he couldn't even if he wanted to seen as how that bridge is nowhere near California.

Ummm you not getting it.

[Reck]

Ummm you not getting it.

Yeah I got it.

I just thought I'd go geographical on him.

[DeadlyDynasty]

At the same token, OP has the right to say what he wants as well. And we have the right to agree with him, which I, personally, do. We've been known as a classy organization with classy fans (see after the Finals for many years, during celebrations, when they would say we are showing fans how to be classy after winning a le). What was being said about RJ was everything but classy. Yeah, he had some ty games, but he still was a Spur...a player on our favorite team...and he should have been treated as such.

Indeed. I'd like to add that, regardless of the Spurs fan "rep", as people we should be more mature. Free speech allows people to be total assholes on the internet/online gaming, but you'd hope most would avoid the temptation.

Just because RJ dumped some girl by email and is friend with Luke Walton doesn't make him gay, and if he's really gay or bisexual that's his personal stuff anyway. RJ just wasn't a good fit for the Spurs, the rest doesn't matter.

All those phobic reactions don't look good either tbh.

Frequently people confuse "the right to say something" with "whether or not it is right to say it". I'm annoyed by the phobic comments, as I can't believe that people still talk like that in 2012 no matter what the media (internet, or conversationally), but I think I deal with it by subconsciously judging their upbringing or lifestyles, which is probably not the most mature thing to do.

This coming from a guy who stalked me yesterday, found out he'd been trolled, then disappeared and thought I'd forget.

yeah, I probably would've made the "obsessed" post too if I was cornered

[MannyIsGod]

Also, this (the net) is sort of an outlet to say what you want to say without persecution.

I'm pretty sure most people here dont take what they say on here to the real world.

I see this place as my escape, well the whole internet really from reality.

I sure as dont call everyone I meet a got and say lol in real life as I would online.

You keep thinking that.

[ATX Spur]

whatever you do please don't jump off the George Washington bridge.

If you make jokes in bad taste, they have to be funnier or they don't work well.

I remember me saying that I was done with you, therefore ending the back and forth replies. You know, there is a time where you just have to stop paying attention to clueless idiots like you.

I did what its call the mature thing to do.

You clearly have a bug up your ass when it comes to me for unknown reasons. Did I hurt your feelings in the past or something? Where does the resentment come from magua..I mean, DD.

[Reck]

Yeah like I said before, as long as is not illegal or some shady stuff.

What does 2012 have anything to with the way people talk? This is not the place to talk about how ppl word things. It does matter if ppl call the man gay. the dude is no longer let him be. People can say what they want and they will. The been doing that sense the beginning of time and will continue you say that until the end of time.

[urunobili]

For what I care, if he actually is, he couldnt be happier about heading to SFO.

Sexual orientation shouldn't mean anything in 2012 TBH I'm sure 100% of the board members know an LGBT person or have a family member or a friend.

I think it'll take a generation or two to stop the words previously utilized to denigrate them...

[Russ]

If the Spurs start losing when RJ is gone, I can guarantee you about half the folks here will be dressing up in pantyhose to try to get him back.

[NASpurs]

I like how he starts his post by claiming to be from California and not from Texas like it matters. Yeah all Texans are bigoted phobes.

Saying "I'm done with you" is another convenient thing to say when you're cornered.

Shall I post what you said that made you have a change of heart?

[Steve-O-Matic]

I must be gay because the news of the Spurs unloading that stain and getting SJax in return made me feel fabulous.

[benefactor]

Caught that too. Pretty gay, tbh.

[manufan10]

It's like the n-word.. it's not going away any time soon, so you might as well get use to it.

It was a re ed, gay thing to say. I took offense!

Avoiding the last part of my post.

I need not look through your endless posts to show how much of a bag nuthugger you are. You know it I know it, everyone here knows it.

And that's not even accounting for the ery you did under your troll account which got banned so before you go any further think on that fool. Nuff said.

The year 2012 has to do with how society evolves over time to understand things that are different from them. In the United States, over the course of its history, as a society we've thought derogatory things that we now know better about. We know races are equal, we know genders are equal, and eventually we'll know sexual orientations are equal.

What do you mean this is not the place to talk about how people word things? This is a forum where you discuss ideas.

It matters if people call him gay if the intent is slanderous, or otherwise put, if the implicit sentiment is to say he's lesser in some way for being gay. It's an at ude that needs to go the way of history.

People can say whatever they want, but there's alot of things they shouldn't say.
