I am less concerned with his opinion, and more concerned a place invited him to speak to graduates... some of whom I assume were women.

Prompt : You are an undereducated over privileged young man that has been told he was special from a young age. You have grown up in lockerooms and on playing fields surrounded by very similar people, many of whom you must obey. What are your views on women and homosexuals?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

…but before you answer, let me introduce you to out, gay linebacker, Carl Nassib.

Go ahead Harrison. Share those views with Carl. No. No helmets or pads now.

Just you, Carl, & your oh so important views on homosexuality.

you forgot the latent brain damage from taking a few too many hits

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Ehh, he's a kicker. He doesn't really play the game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Hits from playing football or hits from the methpipe??

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I wonder if he realizes....

he's a dude in tights.

being chased by other dudes in tights.

and occasionally, fighting over something called a "pigskin".

Also, don't ask what happens in the dogpile. what happens in the dogpile... stays in the dogpile...

He did this during a commencement speech. That makes it even worse. There's a reason why most commencement speeches stick to genetic themes like believing in yourself or doing great things or remember to give the university money or things like that, and it's to avoid whatever this was.

Ohio State had a Bitcoin shill who did psychedelics to write the speech....no that's not a joke

Yup, we've known he's a hardcore Catholic douche for years here in KC. In his shoes, I'd not be so preachy though. People that preachy get their skeletons dug up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Oh, I fully support his belief in saying what he thinks.

It's always good to know where the morons are so you can avoid them.

I thought kickers usually avoided the kind of brain damage that would explain what could only be described as a blatant attempt to get canceled.

Is there a such thing as a "good conservative"? Why do they insist on being such cockroaches?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

They are wholly devoted to "conserving" systems that are designed to benefit cis, white, straight, wealthy, men at the expense of everyone else. I'm not sure how that could be "good" no matter how they went about it.

When will his boyfriend tell the true story?

This moron gets paid stupid money to kick a ball and say retarded shit.

Hooray for humanity!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

And you really couldn't say that without being an ableist shit?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Well, he just talked himself right off my fantasy football team this year. Nice work bozo!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Way to stick it to him

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

OMG you made him cry wtf?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

What's that old saying? "Shut up and play ball"?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago

Lol. He's a kicker. Who cares what he has to say
