There is an enormous difference between not liking gays and what Hedge did and does all the time. His statement was nowhere near a simple reflection of his disagreement with equality for all. Oh no. You say none of us on this site would like our picture posted and have cheap shots taken at them. What do you think you are defending with Hedge. He said that Sam would never have been drafted if he was straight, thereby completely dishonoring the years and years of hard work, effort and sweat that Michael Sam put into even being in the conversation for the draft. He called a man a disgrace for one simple act of affection towards another man. He insinuated that inappropriate actions by Disney or ESPN orchestrated his entire body of work. He made statements that were meant to do one thing and that was to tear down a person he will never know or meet, for what? Seriously, for what? He fabricated lies and made up stories specifically to denigrate another human being that has never harmed him nor does he even have any knowledge hedge exists. Do you think Hedge cares if he hurts Michael Sam? You can't simply abrogate this behavior as if it is a singular event. It is a constant flow of detriment towards anyone of color, sexual preference, political affiliation that is not in line with his archaic thought process. He has been told time and again that people don't appreciate the shit, yet here we are and here you are defending him. I tried that once too. Take my word for it when I tell you that you are on the wrong side of this. Hedge didn't get ganged up on, he got and gets exactly what he sows. He is the ONLY person on this site that arbitrarily attacked someone with unfounded and salacious insults meant to hurt another human being.
The worst part about all of this is that there is absolutely zero chance Hedge would say a fucking thing to the guys face other than "on my stomach or on my back sir?" You can be absolutely sure of that.
Hope this helps,
