Accompanying this Instagram pic posted by Matt Wilkinson on Twitter was the caption “Fags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Imagine if any other pro athlete in a mainstream sport said this. They’d be tarred and feathered in the media. Like if Lebron James jokingly called Chris Bosh and Mike Miller “Fags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” over Twitter, talk shows, radio hosts, and everyone else in the media would have a field day. Nike would drop Lebron or at the very least he’d be forced to give a very earnest apology.
But I guess that’s why we like surfing. It’s still kinda on the cusp, and surfers are not politically correct. And so we have snorkeling.
