Boring golfing professional Justin Thomas is apologizing for using a homophobic slur. Namely, he uttered the term f*ggot after he missed the hole on a put. What? I don’t get it. Does he not understand how to use the slur properly? Usually, f*ggot is something you call someone to offend or demean a person, not for some botched action or out of frustration. Look! If you can’t use the slur correctly, then it really is meaningless. This is one of the more baffling headlines in the days following the domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol. It’s like me yelling cracker because I stubbed my toe. It raises more curiosity than offense.
