Dolphins Suspend Player For Tweet About Michael Sam Kiss

[loyalsister]

I knew there were changes coming but didn't expect it to be overnight. Good on the Dolphins for demanding that players respect their peers.

"The Miami Dolphins have fined and suspended safety Don Jones for tweeting “Omg” and “horrible” after ESPN cut to a live feed of Michael Sam learning that he had just become the first openly gay male athlete drafted to any of the major American sports."

1. Big crybaby homophobe should get his ass kicked

2. He got his wallet kicked. That is where he will feel it.

3. OMG what?

You'd think the guy murdered baby Jesus right there on national TV the way some of these 'phobes are reacting -- all over a stupid kiss.

4. No matter how much I hear their homophobic, racist misogynistic crap

I don't think I will reach a point that it doesn't baffle me. It was a moment that would have been lovely if it was a hetero couple or a lesbian couple. Something that I think is really great about it is that kiss probably made a huge positive impact on gay youth.

5. The Miami team has some issues with bullies

I am glad that the Miami team took this step.

6. Hmmmm. What's trending here?

Bullying - Richie Incognito

Homophobia - Don Jones

Hmmmm. What's trending here?

Mr. Ross, what's going on there in Miami? Got a cultural problem?

7. This is the sound fear makes leaving the body politic.

Expect privileged dumbasses who never learned when to shut up to behave badly for a while, whine about their own rights, then relax and get back to thinking about football instead of gay sex.
