quote:

Justin Thomas -- one of the biggest stars in golf -- says he intends to enroll in a "training program" to help him be a better person after he used an anti-gay slur on a course earlier this month.


quote:

Thomas was on the 4th green during the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii on Jan. 9 ... when he missed a 5-foot par putt and muttered, "f*****."


quote:

Thomas, though, has faced huge backlash despite the mea culpa ... and on Wednesday, he said he intends to enter a training program to help him learn from it all. "It’s not a word I use,” Thomas said, “but for some reason it was in there and that’s what I’m trying to figure out -- why it was in there." “And like I said, it’s going to be part of this process and training program, whatever I need to do, not only to prove to myself but to prove to my sponsors and prove to the people who don’t know who I am that that is indeed not the person I am.”

What exactly does this entail?

Teacher: Don't use that word.
Thomas: Got it.

Course completed.

It is a word you use and who honestly gives a shite? I'm so sick of these cucks caving to the sky screamers. It's only a few of them and just because they are the loudest it doesn't mean they are the majority. Most people that watch do not give a shite what he said.

If I had to guess, pretty much. Dude will do it, masses will see capitulation, he'll cry a bit, and then BOOM REFORMED*

*Except when a journalist needs a hit piece every other year or so.

I’m guessing this is to appease his sponsors/potential sponsors. Justin doesn’t seem to be the SJW type.

On the other hand, he’s got enough money to not worry about sponsors and could live comfortably on winnings alone.

I call myself all kinds of words. Sometimes I call myself “a stupid coonass” when I do something dumb

I guarantee you gay people also call themselves the “slur” word when they do something that fits the stereotype. When one is angry they degrade themselves with words that are stereotypical.

This world is so damn dumb

I called myself a "fricking cock-sucker" on the course when I missed a 4-foot par putt recently, even though I have never once put a cock in my mouth. (inb4 "It's not too late to start")

I will not be enrolling in a training program though. I plan to handle this on my own.

Everything is overblown these days. Jesus.

The reaction might have been appropriate had he said something like "I fricking hate homosexuals." and what he did is nowhere close to that

We live in a clown world. I could understand people getting upset if he calls someone else a derogatory word, but getting offended that this guy called himself a derogatory word is one step away from "thought police".
