It is sad that Riz went through that for sure. But America is a great nation. The freedoms we enjoy here dwarf what most of the world experiences. People still want to come to this country for a reason. Blaming Trump or America as a whole doesn’t elevate the conversation. Again... Riz’s experience sucks, don’t get me…

"Something about media sucks," said the media critic, WHO WAS ALSO MEDIA.

And I love the irony in these articles: "Athlete says media is stupid, and that's awesome!" said member of the media.

An all male Sex and the City sounds totally rad! You should totally pitch that to Hollywood, the tag line could be 'putting the man back in mani pedi!

Ghostbusters wouldn't have been ruined, but us guys took M back. Game on.

I have no idea what I just read nor why I read it.

A bigot is someone who is deemed intolerant towards those who hold different beliefs. When has he ever shown that he was intolerant towards a gay person?

'A discussion' in its true form doesn't include name calling someone for their religious beliefs. There are plenty of Muslims in sports that don't believe in gay marriage. Call them bigots, why don't you..

So did the candidate. But I don't see anyone here noticing that.

So why is Hunter the target and not the politician that COULD possibly affect policy and law? Yea.. Forget that guy... The baseball player that got paid to do a spot he probably read and the candidate approved, let's focus in on him.

So has he called gay people slurs in public? Has he physically assaulted or shot at a gay person? These are things that bigots do.

But Hunter has used his bigote, anti-gay beliefs to support the candidacy of someone who shares those beliefs. By extension, he is advocating for the enactment of public policy that denies rights to certain members of society, rights that are inherently granted to other members of society. For many of us, that is…

I personally, do not think his opinion had any weight on this issue until you gave him a voice. Torii Hunter does not matter more than any other citizen, until, his voice is trumpeted by any form of well followed "sports website". I am certain that clicks and comments determine the writers compensation and the…

I enjoyed listening to the press corps gradually downgrade from amused to audibly uncomfortable as it became clearer and clearer that Torii Hunter was not just joshing with his buddy Mike from the Pioneer-Press.

By the way, you could say that you not tolerating his stance on homosexuality, you're just as much of a bigot as he is. Oh tolerance.

Why isnt the headline "Tori Hunter calls a prick reporter a prick"? I'd be annoyed to if a reporter was trying to take cheap shots and ask irrelevant questions to me at a press confefence to.

Yes, and that little rant-a-roo has made you look right, intelligent and mature. Congratulations.

It's a personal thing. People really like CARROT, and if someone gets use out of it and enjoys the humor, then that's enough for me.

Matt Novak is a writer for a poor news source and you should be ashamed for liking him. His over analysis and misunderstanding of satire is lethargic and excessive to the point of adding nothing to the debate.
