Awful.
On a historic day, where Jason Collins becomes the first active player in the big 4 sports to come out, Mike Wallace bashes him for doing so.
FML.

The **** is wrong with our culture?

Hey, whaddya want? I will guarantee you that there are more people out there that have that reaction than think "Oh, that's great!" when they read the Jason Collins story. As long as he doesn't get in legal trouble, I don't care if he's an @$$hole.

Chill all of you. That comment wasn't bashing, and i cannot fathom how someone would interpret what he twitted as bashing.
That comment is a perfect example of how someone who is straight would feel about a homosexual. There was no hate, in there. He just cannot imagine how a guy can feel that way about another guy. Perfectly understandable for a straight man. -

I just think if that's his opinion, then that's his opinion. Jason Collins even admits that some people won't agree, that's their right. God Bless America. This is a non-issue in my opinion. -

Bill Burr did a bit about that where he was in a diner with a friend, turned and saw two men making out and had an "ugh" reaction and his friend called him homophobic. He responded by saying it wasn't homophobic, just not something he finds appealing, and that if a gay man turned his head and saw a vagina in front of him he'd have the same reaction.
The man is entitled to his preference and opinion, whether we agree with it or not. -
What a d*uchebag.

Look. I didnt choose to be gay. It happened. If Wallace had said "I cant understand why people choose to be Jewish" would anyone be defending him? No.
So stop it. It is bigoted. -

Putting aside whether Wallace is entitled to his own opinion, dumb as it may be, it is an incredibly stupid thing to tweet or otherwise express publically.
As if anyone cared what Mike Wallace had to say on this subject.djphinfan likes this. -
I am amazed at the depth to which people will reach to defend the "politically correct" trend of today.
The reaction here is staggering. Calling Wallace a douchebag, idiot, ignorant, etc; i'm just baffled.
If he would have twitted insults, i would understand the reaction, but he said no such thing. His twit is the exact reaction of a straight man to a homosexual, which is inability to understand how a man can love another man that way. He did not insult Collins. -

Look at my example: If he said " I dont understand how someone could choose to be Jewish" would it be inoffensive? -

He didn't say anything negative about gays or about being gay. Just said that he can't relate, which is perfectly understandable. I can't relate to anyone choosing to root for the Jets, but that doesn't mean I hate all Jets fans...
Ok, bad example... lol -

Defending players, coaches, etc for poor performance based on homerism is one thing. But to defend bigotry out of homerism is sad. Some of you really need to put this in the right perspective. It is a bigoted viewpoint. And it's also incredibly stupid given the sensitivity of the topic.
