        I know MaidenVoyage was just trying to somehow rationalize what went on and might not agree with everything, it still doesn't justify anything. When you are the manager, star player, etc. you basically are the face of the organization. It's your responisibility to be as civil and respected as possible, even in dealing with the media. And really, what does Guillen get out of doing this? Maybe if he'd just shut his mouth for more than day, people would stop writing all these columns or bashing him about what an incredible tool he is.

          Those 2 things are also greatly enjoyed by straight people too.

            well my opinion is...SO WHAT?. Ive called my friends that all the time. Ive called people ive got into little arguments with at pickup games of basketball. Im sure most people use it.

            I can see why its a big deal at this board, because everything seems to be rated G, but you guys take it so badly that its like he said hes going to run Marioti's mother down with his 4 runner. The word he used, is used, probably by the majority of americans, in the same context it was use. Im not saying its right, but its just the way it is.

              I highly doubt straight people are the majority at any WNBA game.

                In a position of power on a Major League Baseball team, the defending World Series champs at that, you can't make offensive comments like that, especially about a man that writes for the Chicago newspaper. He can think what he wants, but to say it to someone who will publicize it is just stupid.

                  Re: Ozzie at it again....

                  I was thinking about this some more and i've come to the conclusion that Ozzie Guillen is the 21st century's answer to....







                  A great manager who gets overshadowed by his antics and who will have a high flame out rate no matter where he manages. He's only getting the benefit of the doubt right now because he's close friends with Kenny Williams. When and if the Sox get a new GM Ozzie will be fired pretty quickly.

                    Whether or not you, I, or anyone else here has used the word around friends or whatever is completely irrelevent. None of us are managers of a Major League baseball club. None of our friends are one of the most recognizable sports writers in the country. The situation is completely different when Ozzie Guillen calls Mariotti a "fag" than it is when I call one of my friends the same thing.

                      I know the Sox have been good since he has taken over but i'd have to think he's wearing out his welcome.

                        Are you practically the face of a multi-million dollar organization, coming off one of if not the greatest season in its history, under the impression that you're supposed to represent that said organization. I didn't think so...

                          This isn't a pickup basketball game or a petty little argument. It's the manager of a MLB baseball team who is in the public eye.

                          If I would say that jokingly to another employer who I work with, I'd be fired and escorted out of the building immediately. No questions asked.

                          It's just completely inappropriate to say things like that in any setting. It's the same as using a racial slur IMO.

                              Perhaps growing up around cable TV has desensitized me. Or maybe it's because I'm a hetereosexual Caucasian male whose never been discriminated against. When I read people act like they're actually offended by what Guillen says, more often than not, I believe it's an act. They are more happy that they have a good story rather than their feelings are hurt because they got called a "fag". Which has become an everyday word, and is hardly ever meant to desciminate against gays, and used more in the sense of "dork"

                                That word (you know) is most certainly not an everyday word. At least not where I'm from and how I was raised. It's a bashing word, a word that is completely rude and disrepectful towards homosexuals. Just as in other words that could bring down a race or lifestyle, that word is no different. I don't use it, and won't use it. There is no reason for Ozzie to use it, and since I had no respect for him already, unfortunately, he doesn't lose any respect from me.
