Fining a guy for saying faggot is some straight faggot shit. I remember watching the game and thinking "Ooh, was I the only one that saw Noah scream 'fuckin' faggot'?" then it started picking up steam, and finally the next morning it got to the point where it was a bigger story than the game itself. That's so fucking wack to me. Seriously, who is offended by this shit? The millions of gay people at the game? The millions of gay people watching at home? And then the biggest thing is the fact that this wouldn't even be a story if the camera didn't catch it. I love America, but it's sad how overly sensitive our society has become.
