What a homophobic ass hat. Well, then again, it IS TEXAS.

This is worth watching; thanks for posting it.

(68,918 posts)Dallas sportscaster Dale Hansen of WFAA (and YouTube fame) said Monday that Michael Sam should not have been chosen so late in the NFL draft.
"Was the 249th pick in that draft. You'll never convince me that there are 248 better college players and NFL prospects in that draft," Hansen said Monday. "Two hundred forty-eight better than the SEC's Defensive Player of the Year? There's just no way."

(3,544 posts)OMG - The homophobes are out there. And in large numbers. You have about as much as chance of changing her views(mind) as you would turning a republican into a democrat. It's fruitless to even try. This is a free country(yeah right) and she every right to voice her opinions. Let it go and move on. Please disburse, nothing to see here. (Police Squad)

Dale Hansen, the sportscaster who defended Michael Sam against anonymous haters, is back, and he says there's no way that there were 248 draft prospects more talented than Sam.

(1,363 posts)A short note...you should call the TV station if you live there and remind the program director that this is indeed 2014. She could be fired for this homophobia, and should be!
Not Sure
(735 posts)and I've lived here most of 40 years. That's where idiots belong though, on some obscure end of the dial that nobody watches. Seriously, my wife flips around the morning shows every day and I've never once seen this.
Now Dale Hansen on channel 8 (ABC affiliate), just about everyone around here saw that. And that was the progressive message that deserves attention, not this backwards shit from Greenville (a town once known for proclaiming it had the "blackest earth, whitest people" .

It would serve her right is a drag queen imitates her outburst.

Tsiyu
(18,186 posts)I suggest if modern society is so traumatic for her and her offspring, she lock herself in her home, after removing all televisions, computers, books and phones, and hide there until her kids are grown and she dies.
That way, neither she nor her children will be exposed to anything "they wouldn't do." That way, she will not suffer the abject PAIN and misery of living in a world where other people get to do stuff she doesn't like right out in the open.
It's so hard when you can't control the actions of others. Usually, though, people like Amy are obsessed with controlling the actions of others because they don't have their own lives under control. Witness her lack of impulse control: "I had a snit fit and walked off my job" would mean getting fired for any of the rest of us.
