Red Sox OF Duran uses anti-gay slur toward fan

I wish teams would stop having their PR departments write those “apologies”. Nobody speaks or writes like that except for damage control experts.

Now I have no idea whether he really gives a shit about what he said or not. I’m guessing he only cares because it caused some trouble.

I’m glad you can still say cocksucker. For now, anyway.

Wu and Al trying to figure out how to communicate with drawings and finger gestures and profanity is one of my favorite scenes in any show, ever.

I worked with a guy that is gay. Before I really knew him all that well, I called somebody a “fucking cocksucker” and he looked at me and said “what’s wrong with being a cocksucker?” I kind of stumbled a bit and just something along the lines of not meaning anything by it, etc. He started laughing and just said “cocksucker doesn’t always mean literally sucking cock and anyway, that guy is a fucking cocksucker”

I’ve never laughed so hard and that day forward we became close friends at work.

It’s clunky but at least it was a proper apology and not “I’m sorry if my statements caused offense.”
