As someone who is about a year younger than him:

this is not a big deal. not meant to demean homosexuals. Just a stupid part of our speech. Really shouldn't use it, but it is engrained into us we don't even think about it anymore.

Plus he deleted it when he realized that it could be perceived negatively. Just being immature. Not a big deal.

Hasn't anyone seen the South Park episode?

So stupid, but so funny.

As for the tweet, he's a 20 year old kid. Yes, he plays profesisonal baseball, now for an organization in a major city, but he's twenty. My brother is 23 and jokes around like that all the time. Technically, yes, it's wrong, but nothing too big at all.

Absolutely.

I hate it when they smear someone before I even get to know what they look like.

The smear has begun. Welcome to NY Syndergaard

LOL. Agreed. Who hasn't thrown the word *** around between friends? This is silly.

At what point should an athlete or anyone for that matter be responsible for their actions then if this is not a big deal? You need to realize especially on Twitter once you hit send it's out there for everyone to see. And considering his name was just in a blockbuster trade, his name whereas might not have been known before and could have slipped through the cracks has been in every article or tv show talking about this trade. Just fitting that there is already a controversy surrounding a player who hasn't even got his minor league uniform number yet.

Andy Martino ‏@MartinoNYDN Noah Syndergaard opened the Mets conference call a few minutes ago by apologizing for the tweet that contained an anti-gay slur.

Yeah that's all well and good but should that have been his introduction to the New York media? Apologizing already?

Wow. I'm disappointed. What a homo...

LOL welcome to NY kid.

foC, I can't get used to seeing the guy who played Art Howe in "Moneyball" as your avatar. It just doesn't seem right. That Dickey avatar was your TM.
