Agree, but we live in a world of candy asses that can't

handle it without melting. He should not have said it, but West Virginians are tough and they will not fall apart over it.

Twenty years ago they'd have a parade (not a gay one) in Morgantown for him
1980VT • 05/09/23 01:50 PM ET
Using the word Catholic probably didn't help him.
HokiePail • 05/10/23 06:12 PM ET
Come on man **
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/09/23 07:28 PM ET
Sorry, you are not a victim here. ^Persecution fetish**
Hokie622 • 05/09/23 03:13 PM ET
You feel you've been forced into homosexuality? I'll say a prayer for you.**
BG Hokie • 05/09/23 03:06 PM ET
Not forced into but forced to accept and celebrate it. And please
uber hokie • 05/09/23 09:36 PM ET
Who is forcing you to celebrate it?**
NokieHokie • 05/09/23 10:11 PM ET
To them "acknowledging it exists" equates to "celebrating it"
GCHokie34 • 05/09/23 11:01 PM ET
The victim complex is strong in them...**
NokieHokie • 05/09/23 11:27 PM ET
Sooo... some of them were probably straight? **

Has anyone ever met an Xavier basketball fan? My Grandmother went there
bigbadbird • 05/09/23 08:39 AM ET
TSO went there.**
PhotoHokieNC • 05/09/23 05:04 PM ET
She a big basketball fan? **
bigbadbird • 05/09/23 09:18 PM ET
No, she’s pretty average in size.**
PhotoHokieNC • 05/09/23 09:28 PM ET
Leslie Nielsen over here. Well done.**
Hokie622 • 05/12/23 09:44 AM ET
Never been a Huggy fan, but always been a fan of free speech. **
uber hokie • 05/08/23 10:54 PM ET
He is not being fined or jailed by the government
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/09/23 07:30 PM ET
He works for the state of West Virginia that IS the government and he may
uber hokie • 05/09/23 09:17 PM ET
He will not be jailed That’s kind of the point of the first amendment. **
Jackie VT • 05/09/23 11:26 PM ET
Your ignorance of the first amendment is cute**
GCHokie34 • 05/09/23 11:06 PM ET
As is your arrogance **
uber hokie • 05/10/23 09:30 AM ET
You are still free when you are fired.**
NokieHokie • 05/09/23 10:11 PM ET
Yep, even more so…..**
RJHokie • 05/09/23 10:15 PM ET
Ftee speech is not free of consequences**
HokieJamie • 05/09/23 12:51 PM ET
Free speech and getting fired are completely different.**
atlhokie1 • 05/09/23 10:05 AM ET
Nobody has jailed him for saying it.**
NokieHokie • 05/09/23 10:00 AM ET
Nor should he, because he’s done nothing illegal. **
uber hokie • 05/09/23 02:19 PM ET
Nobody said he should. But peeps are acting like his freedoms are being
NokieHokie • 05/09/23 03:29 PM ET
so we're all in agreement then.**
Hokie622 • 05/09/23 03:15 PM ET
"Freedom of speech" is between you and the government. We have laws agains
IB4TECH • 05/09/23 09:02 AM ET
No, it doesn't. What he said is offensive, not slanderous
Vienna_Hokie • 05/09/23 09:12 AM ET
I'm just pointing out the "freedom of speech" thing. You are correct but
IB4TECH • 05/09/23 09:18 AM ET
Still not defamation. Saying mean things is not defamation. Saying false
Hokie622 • 05/09/23 10:46 AM ET
Depends upon terms of employment
Va AandM • 05/09/23 09:40 AM ET
still doesn't make it defamation. Absolutely could get you fired though**
Vienna_Hokie • 05/09/23 11:39 AM ET
Agreed. Just supporting you in that he's likely toast
Va AandM • 05/09/23 12:39 PM ET
Yes, he's likely toast.**
Vienna_Hokie • 05/09/23 12:52 PM ET
This has nothing to do with free speech - he's not being arrested **
vtbball80 • 05/09/23 01:31 AM ET
Free speech has consequences, but we live in a very delicate society...
jesuisvtguy • 05/09/23 12:56 AM ET
Agree, but we live in a world of candy asses that can't ◄
SHPHOKIE • 05/08/23 11:52 PM ET
World that is trying to evolve. **
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/09/23 07:34 PM ET
He's an incredibly highly paid employee of the state of WV
vtfin91 • 05/09/23 02:00 PM ET
That's kooky talk**
Brown Water • 05/09/23 12:38 AM ET
Must have hit home. **
SHPHOKIE • 05/10/23 11:07 PM ET
Hardly **
Brown Water • 05/11/23 12:00 AM ET
🙄**
AbsolutVT03 • 05/09/23 12:02 AM ET
Freedom of speech does not equal freedom from consequences. Most employers
AbsolutVT03 • 05/08/23 10:59 PM ET
At this stage in the game, it's not worth arguing
hokieZ71 • 05/08/23 11:06 PM ET
Worth noting... it wasn't a racial slur
jesuisvtguy • 05/09/23 08:26 AM ET
The N-word was common once...
GCHokie34 • 05/09/23 11:08 PM ET
It's not common now?
1980VT • 05/11/23 03:52 PM ET
But it was a bigoted slur, and for that matter.....
vtbball80 • 05/09/23 10:59 AM ET
I'm ok with being on the record for the "opinion" that using slurs on the
AbsolutVT03 • 05/08/23 11:09 PM ET
It's West Virginia,they'll suspend him for 3 non-conference games and ask
HokieBrazil • 05/08/23 10:16 PM ET
lol - they will give him a trophy and ask him to speak at HS graduations!**
U2Hokie • 05/08/23 11:04 PM ET
Probably right…..😏**
RJHokie • 05/08/23 11:06 PM ET
why do we expect more than this from sports coaches? because they are paid
bigbadbird • 05/08/23 10:01 PM ET
Because anyone with half a brain could keep from saying slurs on the radio**
GCHokie34 • 05/09/23 12:26 AM ET
well he makes millions and he did it **
bigbadbird • 05/09/23 08:24 AM ET
Is this really "expecting more"? Personally I think "don't use slurs
AbsolutVT03 • 05/08/23 11:27 PM ET
I don't make the rules...just enjoy watching the entertainment they create
Vienna_Hokie • 05/08/23 10:06 PM ET
agree- not an attack at you- just a thought- why do we listen **
bigbadbird • 05/08/23 10:11 PM ET
That wasn't very smart**
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/08/23 07:22 PM ET
Anyone who would say those things...
GCHokie34 • 05/08/23 08:40 PM ET
No doubt **
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/09/23 07:34 PM ET
And anyone who would say it in that setting obviously says it frequently
Gobbler-100 • 05/08/23 10:56 PM ET
That sums it up. **
IB4TECH • 05/09/23 09:44 AM ET
Well it is West Virginia, so different standards.....**
VT ChemE 1986 • 05/08/23 06:53 PM ET
He didn't disparage sister kissing so he's all good right :)**
Vienna_Hokie • 05/08/23 09:42 PM ET
Must have been in the sauce again during that interview.**
