Anyway, the idiot should be thankful it was his phone that was disintegrated. In recent years, I’ve come to appreciate the words, “Fuck around and find out.” Part of me wants to say I don’t condone this action, but the truth is I kind of do. It doesn’t bother me in the least he got his phone smashed. He’s just lucky finding out wasn’t so painful. ---

I’d bet good money the guy was videoing the whole thing, in hopes of getting a reaction that would go viral. I’d support a law in which people like that aren’t allowed to sue anyone over the reaction they get from such behavior. You want a reaction? You got one, punk. ---

> [@griffin1977](#): > > having a male NFL player date a female country star 😕 She hasn’t been a country star since about 2010. But it does remind me of more of why the right attacks her, besides I guess generic misogyny. White supremacists loved her back then, and started talking about her as an “Aryan goddess.” Then she made very clear that she was disgusted by that. So ex-country star who switched to pop, is openly disgusted by neonazis who wanted to worship her, is strong and independent, and is incredibly rich and has millions of followers. That’s how you get from “Aryan goddess” to “actually it’s a man.” (I’m framing it the way they do–often using “it” to refer to trans people, and referring to trans women as men. Ugh.) ---

These guys and their interaction sounds so stupid. Neither Kelce identifies as gay but to insinuate a straight dude is gay is some sort of grandiose insult? Or was it the faggot remark that set him off, perhaps he took offense on behalf of his gay brethren, assuming he has gay friends/acquaintance’s who would resent that slur? Nah, Kelce was set off by his brother’s masculinity being questioned and belittled. I guess that response was warranted in the toxic environment he was in at the time. If he ignored them all what would that look like? It would look like some punks called his brother queer and he let them get away with it. Is that a big fucking deal? ---

from what I saw/read (I believe in a Barstool Sports post, so take that for what it may be), the guy was following Kelce around for a while, recording himself trying to get a rise out of Kelce… the “slur” was the comment that pushed him over the edge and led to smashing the cell phone (thus, rendering the video useless). ---

Maybe he’s pissed at the insult aimed at his future sister in law being called a man. I’m not upset at the stupid punk getting his phone destroyed and I’m really glad Jason didn’t hit him. Jason can buy him a new phone in exchange for an apology. I don’t like seeing this online anonymous troll behavior going real life without consequences. A person has the right to walk down a street without having insults about his family and friends being hurled at them. ---

> [@not\_what\_you\_d\_expect](#): > > Maybe he’s pissed at the insult aimed at his future sister in law being called a man. That whole insult was gobbledygook, word salad of malicious intent. If he’s a faggot she’s a fag hag? He’s gonna let that chip on his shoulder keep growing by daring miscreant maggots to knock it off. The punk got off easy and maybe it will squelch future hecklers though I doubt it. Kelce needs to grows a thicker skin from the jibes and insults from mouthy pissant brats. ---

Right, and a gorgeous, talented, and fabulously wealthy one at that?

> [@chela](#): > > If he’s a faggot she’s a fag hag? Then they’re not dating. A fag hag is (very generally) a woman that’s friends with a gay man. Think Grace (to Will) and Karen (to Jack) on Will and Grace. Calling him a faggot, based on who he’s dating, implies he’s dating a man. Are you think of a beard? A woman that’s dating a closeted gay man in order to help him remain in the closet? > [@Baker](#): > > It does rather remind me of that video clip in which Buzz Aldrin punched the moon hoax denier He went from punching people that think he’s lying about being on the moon to endorsing their leader. Actually, now that I’m looking at wiki, he’s been endorsing republicans since at least 2004 and was even one of Trump’s guests at the 2019 State of The Union address.
