I assure you gentlemen, I’m more normal that most people you meet. Thanks for the pit. 😃 Yeah baby. You badass and don’t let anyone tell you you’re not. That bus where you threatened the innocent girl…how long was it? ---

It’s a combination of a rite of passage and an impromptu party where you invite anyone you see, beer and pretzels being the standard offerings. Nice. Just to clarify, no, \*this \*Pitting is not a rite of passage. It’s because you’re incoherent, filled with poorly directed rage, and carry weapons. What could possibly go wrong? ---

> [@the\_diego](#): > > What is so wrong with a politician who speaks his mind, consistent with his core beliefs (albeit recently adopted)? Nothing. I wish all politicians would be that straightforward. And that as a result we could form accurate opinions of them. Like “this guy is a tool”. > [@](#): > > And if he’s bad for a business, for whatever reason, what do you as a business gain by making a strong signalling move, when corporate relations can be executed in a quiet, even imperceptible manner? Does Nike care that much for gays and wish to utterly destroy anti-gays? Of course not. They care about selling shoes. 50 years ago, that would have resulted in firing the guy who said that homosexuality was an acceptable behaviour and 50 years down the road, it might mean firing the guy who said that animal flesh is tasty. ---

I admired him until this. He just doubled down and said that gay people should be killed. Really fuck him, he deserves to lose Nike’s sponsorship. Pacman has a right to say whatever he wants, but Nike has a right to choose not to want him as a spokesman for saying ignorant bigoted bullshit. > **[Manny Pacquiao’s Instagram account calls for gay people to be put to death](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/feb/19/manny-pacquiao-boxing-gay-people-instagram-nike)** > > Manny Pacquiao has underlined his opposition to same-sex relationships and a social media post on his account was deleted after two hours ---
