The comment about was about Enrique who is straight. Enrique came out and said it was a joke and the FA don't care. This is ludicrous. If the player being "abused" is fine with it, why should the FA care?

If the player being "abused" is fine with it, why should the FA care? erm..... as I said above.... perhaps because gay people didn't like a word that represents them being used to denote negativity or weakness. How would you feel if we started saying... "that's so white"... or "that's so male" to denote weakness? I think I'd be grown up enough to not let it bother me.

But surely in this instance it could be portrayed as a compliment as Jose is clearly just making himself look good.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

It's what's inside you that counts Car.

The thing is, I know gay people that use the word in the same way. One of my roommates in college (one of my best friends mind you) included. The FA are responsible for abusive and insulting language directed at players. It perhaps wasn't the wisest thing to say, but it was a victimless comment. Why should the FA care about something player says to one of his mates off a football pitch? Isn't that his business? What does it have to do with football?

I told my friend Kyle, president of the Gay/Straight Alliance at our university, and had this to say about it, "there's a big difference between a joke between friends, and a joke intended to bite, hurt or oppress someone. I take a c*ck in the ass for fun. I can take a damn joke."

There's talk now that Enrique might also get a fine for his middle finger gesture in the photo.
