Syndergaard tweeted anti-gay slur

LOL welcome to NY kid.

Yeah, you need to be the bishop of the C of D forever regardless of where he plays.

I don't even know who you are anymore.

[SILVER SEAVER]

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

Well played Z

I dont know how that word is even considered an "anti-gay slur" anymore. Nobody uses that word to mean "homosexual." It doesn't even mean that anymore. It's stupid. Nobody should be offended by that.

[YoungStuna]

lol I don't think people should be offended by it, but it's absolutely means that still. Saying otherwise would be false.

[kmo429]

I say the word *** because it just becomes a part of one's jesting insult vocabulary, Ive never said it to imply someone was a homsexual, and I think the same goes for many 18 year olds. Except for douchebags who call homosexuals ****, thats not really okay because it's putting a negative connotation on their sexual orientation

If someone(gay or not) does something gay, I will fall them a ***. I'm not just gonna call someone a *** for no reason.

If someone (any race) does something stereotypically black like eat fried chicken, do you call them a ******?

No because fried chicken is food and everyone eats food.

I'm so grateful that there is nothing stereotypical about Irish guys.

Pass the potatoes.

[Harry777]

I would make a bunch of hidden accounts with different names just to get out of the spotlight.

No because fried chicken is food and everyone eats food.

That's not the point. If someone does something stereotypically black, would you call them a ******? Or is it limited to ***?

Who is talking about stereotypes? I'm not a stereotypical person.

I said if someone did or said something gay, I would call them a ***.

I think I would, but I'm not going to get into a discussion about this.

So your definition of "gay" isn't the actual definition of "gay." Fair enough, but imagine if you had a different definition of the "N-word" than mainstream America. Could you understand people getting upset about you using it, regardless of your personal context?

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.

As much as I will always love my Lord and Savior Robert Allen, I cannot have an avatar of a non Met.

Won't do it.

Not even for Robert Allen.

And if it's any consolation, Philip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of Art Howe looked nothing like his Gust Avrakotos role.
