  1. The word was used as a homophobic slur. Its use in the name of the game was homophobic. Whether the individual children who played at various times were aware of that or themselves homophobic is a completely different issue. As a kid in the 80s and 90s, I certainly understood that queer referenced someone's sexuality and was used as an insult. I had a vague sense that the name was mean, but homophobia was so common that I didn't really appreciate its true cruelty or that others could be hurt by its use. I do now. Not apologizing would be a dick move. But I get it, y'all are assholes that can only think about yourselves and not about how your words and actions affect others (even if unintentionally). That is idiotic.
  2. 17-15 Texas. Indiana causing some problems.
  3. If the game was being played in 1600s, you'd have a point. The pejorative use was well established by the 1800s and certainly understood in the mid-twentieth century when the game started.
  4. When do you think the game was invented? Queer was a pejorative for gay folks long before it was recaptured to self-identify. The use of the term in the game was 100% homophobic. Your reaction to a simple apology is far more damaging. This is an innocuous event. People treating the apology as bad are the ones blowing it out of proportion. Yes, it was. Queer was a pejorative for gay folks 100 years before the game existed. Its use in the game was absolutely homophobic and a reference to the pejorative term. It was simply part of the culture of our society when that name was used. Bijan didn't mean any harm when he said it. It was a slip of the tongue referencing a childhood game that had a legacy of homophobia. He apologized, in much the same was you'd apologize if you accidentally bumped into someone. It wasn't intentional. It wasn't mean. But it did deserve an apology. Bijan is grown man unlike the reactionary children on this thread. It isn't a big deal, and y'all are the absolute worst for trying to make an apology a problem.
  5. 24-21, set point #3 24-22 on an ace. Close it out horns.
  6. Yes, he did. He feels he did too. It wasn't intentional. But when you accidentally hurt someone, you apologize. I encourage to look up what a sociopath is.
  7. 25-20 in set 1.
  8. That's just because you're a sociopath.
  9. Of course there is. Apologizing when you make a mistake, which he did, is the grownup thing to do.
  10. So... If the Citrus Bowl doesn't happen, do we still get the practices? Can this just be the orange and white scrimmage that we missed?
  11. Our run game did not suck last year. We had over 2,500 yards rushing as a team, averaged just under 5 yards a carry with our primary backs, had 26 TDs, and it literally powered us through multiple wins (e.g., Kentucky, Clemson, A&M, and OU). Our power run game sucked. Our short yardage run game sucked. But the run game as a whole did not suck. This year, this year it fucking sucked (1,556 yards rushing, under 4 yards average as a team, 14 total TDs with over half of them being Arch) even with a QB who is a good runner.
  12. Hmm. I honestly missed the pregnancy stuff. I was thinking it was just sex.
  13. That's incorrect. The video you posted doesn't show that. The "sexualizing your body" comment was a question by the man in response to the worker making offensive comments about his partner's hijab ("witch craft bandana"). It is also irrelevant. But again, you're just making stuff up that you want to be true.
  14. I meant specifically the race to the moon. Every projection has them getting back first. China is also catching up to Spacex and Blue Origin. Momentum is in their favor right now and I have serious doubts we turn it around in the near future. They are investing. We are not. That is the truth.
