Well I guess the dumb-jock myth is proven once again. This untalented pig should learn to just swim and keep her dumb, bigoted mouth shut. I guess when you start failing at your sport you need to do something to keep your name in the news. I'm sure this is only the start of this intolerant dimwit's foot-in-mouth moments. Any sponsor that would even think of hiring this idiot is dumber than she is.
Did you actually see what she twittered? It was not what I call homophobic in any way. Yes she used a word that she should not have said in a public forum given her high profile status, but it is not any different what 90% of other young people out there are saying.
""It was not what I call homophobic in any way." -- Yep, you're right. By the way, when I say "Take that n*ggers, cracker, k*kes, sand n*ggers, gimps, camel jockeys, b*tches, wetbacks, etc.", that is not racist, anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim, anti-handicapped, misogynistic, etc. in any way. It's not any different than what 90% of other young (bigots) out there are saying.
