WTF - Gay is a Naughty Word
Today's WTF entry comes from Chuck Shepherd over at NOTW:
Defensive back Randall Gay wore a New England Patriots jersey as a member of this year's Super Bowl-winning team, but when one of his former college professors tried to order a personalized jersey in tribute to Gay in mid-February, she was turned down. The National Football League's official online merchandiser, NFLshop.com, refused to imprint "Gay" on the back of a Patriots jersey because it was a "naughty" word, one of 1,159 the shop has banned. (Two weeks later, after the Web site Outsports.com picked up the story, the word was removed from the list.) [Times-Picayune (New Orleans), 3-3-05]
Well, thank Heavens 4 Outsports. I've always wanted a "Gay" jersey. It'd get me up 4 a little ball playin'!
I wonder what Randall must have thought about his name being banned. He was probably thinking ...
What the f*ck???
