Justin Thomas uses homophobic slur after missing par putt

Trash

I hate all these fake apologies “ I need to do better. I need to be better.” No, you need to drop dead.

Sticks and stones, ladies, sticks and stones.

This is a new one. I never saw somebody cancelled for being rude to himself.

I'm getting old. I thought this read Justice Thomas uses homophobic slur.

he called himself a faggot.

I thought he would have said cocksucker and I could have argued well, why is that a slur?

but..faggot? Well, that's a slur.

What if he is actually the slur?

What’d he call himself—a Nancy Boy?

I too would use a homophobic slur - ON HIM as I'M FUCKING HIM UP THE ASS.

Who gives a fuck?

Let’s face it— In the LGBT world, it’s not the boys who have the golf genes.

Why did he blurt this out? What a freak.

A nice fat check to an lgbt center wouldn't hurt.

I'd have preferred he used nancy boy.

What slur did he use, Dorothy?

For him to say that in those circumstances means that he's used that word many, many times before.

This is a weird thing to say in this context, even if no one was around.

Was he calling himself that?

Self-loathing.

Is that what he says to himself every time he makes a mistake? Every time he gets angry at himself? What a freak.

It’s what his Daddy said.

[quote]I thought he would have said cocksucker and I could have argued well, why is that a slur?

Because it's a synonym for faggot. Otherwise it wouldn't be directed at men exclusively.

[quote]Was he calling himself that?

Because he believes "fags" are useless.

Because Winners fuck pussy and father brats and buy houses and cars and stuff.

He's bulging in those pants

He did not hurl the word faggot at anyone, but to him self. Where to we get off on policing our own thoughts or private conservations to ourselves. Sure he was miked and should not have used the word for others to hear. He appears to be critizing his perfomance or the ball. This type of outcry and reaction is exactly why the right hates us.

He's got the tendencies!

10 bucks he has a crazy dad like Tiger Woods and his dad would scream at him “C’mon! You’re hitting the ball like a little faggot!!!”

America is made up of low IQ individuals. They are everywhere.

Freudian slip.

My father who was a racist and a bigot imparted only one useful piece of advice to me in his life time, no one will ever be impressed by how many vulgar words you use. Cursing makes anyone seem ignorant and low class, we all need to find better ways to express ourselves. No one will ever have to apologize for not cursing.

Would someone provide context? What exactly did he say and under what circumstances. I too have referred to myself as a faggot- although I’m real careful in these humorless times.

This is the way every straight male thinks. Period.

That’s what he likes being called when he’s taking raw anon loads at the Motel 6.

He missed a four foot putt he should have made, R31. He was in a tournament in Kapalua and was miked. What he said to himself was heard on the Golf Channel.

Ya' know, what with everything going on in Washington, this doesn't exactly rise to the same level of importance.

I so thought was Justice Thomas who is our nation’s premier homophobe!

I only call myself that when I’m in my bed with legs up, feet touching my ears as BF enters me. I’m a straight shooter, I like to call a spade a spade. 👥

[quote] What slur did he use, Dorothy?

Picnic basket, Rose!

Sorry, I find it way hot.

Wait, this guy?

This guy?

R40 cute pants. Stunning and brave!

Where were those pants yesterday?

r34 not really because he said it thinking no one could hear him. It's how we act when we think no one is looking that defines who we are. He is embarrassed he got caught, not that he used the word.

That Justice Thomas should be kicked out of the Supreme Court.

And if he's out golfing why is he so fat?

He said "faggot" to a ball? How is this even noteworthy? From the title I thought he called his caddy a fag or something.

We should forgive him in the hopes that he takes it up the ass.

[quote]He said "faggot" to a ball?

How do you know he said it to a ball and not to himself?

Bullshit. Why would that word be the first thing out of your mouth? Because you use it often and slipped up and said it publicly. FO with your lying apologies.

Who’s had him girls?

Justin loves wearing pink.

R43 The country's going down the shitter. Who cares what he said to himself?

With what's going on in America these days what he said, why he said it, who he said it to, or what it means kinda pales in comparison to what we've seen this week.

Save your criticism for something of importance.

R50 - and you come to [bold]DL[/bold] of all places to discuss serious issues and are offended when other things are discussed here as well?

Not offended at all and discuss plenty of less serious things, albeit few less important that this. Just suggesting there are more important things to discuss. Which you know, won't admit, and want to disagree with.

Be my guest.

I think we should be able to call ourselves whatever the fuck we want.

I’m a dirty little faggot! Cancel me baby, you know how I like it! 😫

Who cares? Most straight men still use that word behind closed doors.

Winking at r53.

[quote]I hate all these fake apologies “ I need to do better. I need to be better.” No, you need to drop dead.

In his case, dropping dead would be clear proof that he was doing better.

Gay slurs are fine. Racial slurs? Not so much.

r30, I worked with an older British actress with a very posh accent, who used to swear like a sailor. It was really amusing, and I wouldn't think that she was lower class because of it. She would only do it around people she knew though. Americans don't have a "high class" accent anymore.

R59- Do mean an accent like Katherine Hepburn's?

I get all these young golfers mixed up. They’re all so bland.

No cares about homophobia anymore, if he said something racist or transphobic we’d be having a national meltdown.

Why the hell would he need to be miked? Is there any sport quieter or more boring than golf?

I once heard a guy shout at another team member, "Don't fag-out on us!".

For some reason straight guys see gays as weak, when actually the opposite is true. They wouldn't last a day as an out gay man.

And in 50 years we've gone from being arrested and considered mentally ill- to being out, proud and powerful everywhere. Strength is results.

[quote]He said "faggot" to a ball? How is this even noteworthy?

Are you fucking stupid, or what?

[quote] Cancel me baby, you know how I like it! 😫

Okay. After all, that's what my "Ignore " button is for.

[quote] I'm getting old. I thought this read Justice Thomas uses homophobic slur.

Curse you I just came here to post that!!!

😄

He called himself a "faggot" for being such a failure and missing a 4-foot putt.

The point is not that he called himself a "faggot" vs. calling someone else a "faggot."

The point is that it's an extremely negative label.

The commentators heard it and said: "Really unhappy with that one." They should have said something about this guy saying "faggot."

I don't understand how, on a gay comment board, so many excuses are being made for this.

Because R67 most of the poster here are straight douchebros and women. I think there are very few gay men and women left here.

I’m guessing he missed it on the amateur side (didn’t push it through the break)

If so, then I would say that is fair. Especially if you are one of these straight worshipping, masculine obsessed gays. That is exactly your vision of what it means to be gay. To be weak and leave it short. So quit your bitching.

Is it just DL or are gay men in general less likely than other minorities to get upset about such transgressions?

Is he a faggot of faith and this hateful language not who he really is?

He smells cookies in one of those shots. You know he sucked a cock or two in younger days. His problem is that he liked it. A lot.

You can barely hear it

R73, it was pretty audible and clear in the OP.

He's from KY. I'm shocked. Stunned I tell you.

Did he call himself a Little Homosexual Boy?

Of course he said it. Why would he apologize if he didn't. And who knows whether it's to himself or the ball. Either way, I'm not offended. What offends me is when in these apologies, they say "That's not who I am". Dude that's exactly who you are.

And all these "slurs" always beg the question: similar to the N word, if he actually was one, is it then ok for him to use it? Can a lesbian call herself a D but the rest of us can't? Asking for a friend.

[quote] What offends me is when in these apologies, they say "That's not who I am". Dude that's exactly who you are.

Yeah, I don't understand that "defense." He should have said: "That's who I was in that moment," at the very least.

[quote] What offends me is when in these apologies, they say "That's not who I am".

What always gets me is the old, “If I offended anyone, I apologize for that.”

Asshole, if you didn’t offend anyone there’s no reason to apologize. And you’re not apologizing for your ignorance or stupidity but only “if you offended.”

FOH.

Amazing how these manly men are constantly terrified of faggots or being associated with any hint of faggotry. You'd almost think that getting off with other men is GASP tempting somehow?

Why do people still have “faggot” in their vocabularies???

Most people would have exclaimed “fuck”! I have never heard anyone else ever say faggot in that circumstance when talking about himself

He doesn't exactly look like the shining beacon of red-blooded American male heterosexuality himself.

He's a standard issue southern country club white boy. I'm sure they call each other fag all the time when they aren't fishing or Trump-voting or whatever.

He seems to be getting cancelled. Sponsors not running but zooming away

You’re right, r84.

His sponsors are slipping faster than an Astroglided cock into a bottom.

Here's Golfweek.USAToday's rundown of recent homophobic slurs caught on the professional golf tour:

Besides Justin Thomas,

[quote] PGA Tour veteran Scott Piercy lost two major sponsors 10 months ago as a result of controversial posts he shared on Instagram. One was a homophobic meme of former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg and the other referenced QAnon, an ultra-conservative conspiracy theory about a secret plot against President Donald Trump.

[quote] At the WGC-HSBC event in China in 2014, Patrick Reed, after a three-putt, was heard on camera dropping the F-word twice as well as a homophobic slur.

[quote]Amazing how these manly men are constantly terrified of faggots or being associated with any hint of faggotry. You'd almost think that getting off with other men is GASP tempting somehow?

Completely off the mark and yet again blaming gay men for anything that happens to them.

He said it because he associates being shitty at something with gay men. To him, gay men are useless. It has nothing to do with being attracted to men. It has everything to do with people associating the worst qualities that any human can have with being gay.

Stop giving all non-gay-men a get out of jail free card.

Ironic considering golf is such a non-masculine, non-sport. Olympic curlers break more of a sweat.

R87 wins the day

[quote] He was in a tournament in Kapalua and was miked. What he said to himself was heard on the Golf Channel.

I would object to that if I was a player.

Some Aussie players objected saying it was an invasion of their privacy. They said they had the right to groan and fart without strangers listening in to them.

God forbid we should hear them show us who they are...

Honestly, she’s so Nellie herself.

At least no one is saying how hot he is. Progress is being made!

I didn't hear it in the video.

So I guess we're decided he's a closet case?

He looks angry and joyless in every picture so far. Always a sign of...

What he said is nothing compared to the venom spewed on DL

At first glance I thought this said Justice Thomas, as in Clarence Thomas.

Justice Thomas would NEVER use homophobic slurs. Said no one ever.

[quote]It’s not who I am. It’s not the kind of person that I am.

No honey, it's EXACTLY who you are and the kind of person you are.

[quote]So I guess we're decided he's a closet case?

No, he's a straight male homophobe. He doesn't want to suck dick, he thinks all men that suck dick are useless.

Those floral print pants are gayer that the Cockhobler’s teal belt.

He said it about himself. He's his own Greek chorus of hate.

If a woman calls herself a bitch or cunt, or a Mexican calls himself a Spic, it shows self-loathing- not self-love.

All I have is pity for him.

This would be more like an asian guy calling himself the n-word, R102.

He has now apologized

“It’s inexcusable,” Thomas said, reports CBS. “First off, I just apologize. I’m an adult. I’m a grown man; there’s absolutely no reason for me to say anything like that. It’s terrible. I’m extremely embarrassed. It’s not who I am; it’s not the kind of person that I am or anything that I do. Unfortunately, I did it, and I have to own up to it, and I’m very apologetic.”

Non-issue.

He's fine because he didn't say anything "transphobic" which would have been the end of his career!

People need to quit getting their pink lacy panties is a wad over words. Fucking grow up.

I stand corrected. He missed it on the pro side. Hit it through the break. Which means he hit it too hard. Does that change the context? Like being a hard striking faggot, lol.

But seriously, I wonder what would have happened if he hadn’t run from it. What if he didn’t act like he had just shot Jesus but admitted it was a common thing to say for guys like him. That he knows it is wrong, is working on it and is sorry that (not if) he offended people.

Bet he would have kept some sponsors. Of course, he might have kept some of them if he had responded “yeah, I said it. Get over it for Christ’s sake.”

I didn't get that he was calling himself a faggot, more that he was calling the ball one.

In either case, he's an ass.
