Vilma's questionable tweets
|
I don't see the problem other than that she should be in the kitchen instead of tweeting...

STOP THE HATE
Quote:
This kind of talk was used against blacks not so long ago. If people hadn't stood up to the haters back then, Vilma would not be playing football right now. Vilma needs to remember that when he speaks derogatorily towards people who are "different". @Crusader -- Cook your own damn dinner, pinhead. |
How can you tell the context of what he meant by that? He could have been joking about a friend or something... No news here at all.... She could have taken it all wrong.

She said "That's a little sexist\homophobic..." He told her to shut up. She asked him if he is kidding. He said "You don't have to read my tweets". To me, that is utterly straight-forward. Absolutely there is news here. Vilma has a problem with homosexuals or at minimum cross-dressers and was called out on it -- by a woman -- who he promptly told to shut up. She is also a fan so, another bit of news about how Vilma values his fans. And, I don't know if anyone has noticed but, New Orleans has a substantial gay population who are just as devoted Saints fans as anyone else. But, of course, there are plenty of guys whose masculinity is threatened by feminine type homosexuals. But, frankly, that s**t is just weak. Either you are heterosexual man or you aren't. Insisting another human being is wrong for being themselves DOES NOT MAKE YOU MORE OF A MAN. Vilma should know that. I love the Saints and I like Vilma as the leader of the defense. But, I don't have to love or agree with his prejudices. "Grown men" are respectful and tolerant of differences. |
Vilma is one of the smartest guys on the team. This seems very out of character for him....hard to explain.

I was concerned for a moment, when I read the headline.
Then I read the tweets. pffft. couldnt give two sh**s less. In fact I like him more now. This is only an issue on SR. |
Are you guys kidding me. Go back and read it again. You are really getting worked up over this? Does anybody have the discussion that preceded this? He made a comment about something that was obviosly discussed earlier, and this girl, who he doesn't know from Adam, calls him a homophobe. If a complete stranger confronts me with something like that, just out of the blue, I'm gonna tell them to STFU too! I see no nothing here, just someone trying to irritate Vilma.

I FREAKING LOVE IT! :) That's when South Park was hilarious... |
Doesn't seem like Vilma does it?
Or... maybe he's on his period. #femaletendancies |
He should be applauded for standing up for whatever he believes, regardless of what others think about it.
Sincerely, Scott Fujita Fan Club Members. |
If I truly said on this page what I would like to say I would be kicked off. A man, with a wife{woman} and 2 kids. And I applaud Vilma. I hope this was politically correct enough for ya!!!! Me, I'm not so sensitive......
|
Here's the problem. Rather than say to themselves, "You know, I think I disagree with this person", people are on the red-hot lookout. They are on the hunt for something offensive so they can be offended.
|
Don't botter me... I don't tweet.
|
I think he's starting to come out of the closet. I mean, that's what I got from the tweet anyway.
Every team needs a token gay guy. The Falcons have Ovie. :D |
I love Vilma. The fact that he's made it as a successful player in the NFL might also point to the fact that he's a very physical, masculine male. In his mind, he probably DOESN'T get men having feminine tendencies. I mean...uhhhh...lots of testosterone out on that field on any given Sunday! His tweets don't bother me in the least bit, either! Carry on....JV!!!

Oh, and telling women that they should be in the kitchen cooking instead of expressing their opinions ......... is weak. Also, not funny. |

I've seen Vilma in interviews and he seems intelligent and articulate. However, I'm not offended. I grew up in New Orleans, and the deep South, so I am used to this kind of gender bias. But, given what minority groups have been through ( including Vilma's minority group ) you would think he would be much more diversity tolerant and respectful. But, whatever. Vilma is an exceptional football player and has done incredible, amazing things for my team. So, I have a great deal of appreciation for him for that. |
I love Vilma, as our middle linebacker. I could care less what his opinions are that don't deal with football anyway. If you invite him over for dinner, then you can sit at the table and hash out differences in what you feel is right or wrong.

Look, I can say "Hey man, looks like you forgot your Viagra" just as easy as you guys can say "Hey babe, looks like you forgot your Midol". But, do we really need to go there? Jus sayin'. |
Social Media. This is what you open yourself up to.

But, don't get me wrong, I love a beat down just as much as the rest of you. But, let us, not-so-gentle people, focus our aggression on the proper targets: First, the Panthers, then the FailClowns. Lots of added happy faces!! I'm done here. |
This thread is exactly why I advise my students to kill their Twitter accounts.
I don't care how "innocent" a comment might be, it will always have the opportunity to be taken out of context or manipulated to be something other than it was intended. My suggestion to anyone considering posting a Tweet is to think about how it might play in a Grand Jury investigation. |
Quote:
My only friends there are people I've known for nearly all of my 42 years... People are just too damned eager to get offended. It's a big bad old world and, well...lets just say your advice is solid, but it probably falls on deaf ears. |

What do you have against deaf people? |
Ugh social media drama ... is it time for the Panthers to kick off yet?

Hate is an ignorant word that will get you nowhere in life.
