Well, it’s still early, so you can give it a little time. 

Not until reading this thread and this story did it even occur to me that “smear the queer” involved a slur. We certainly didn’t think of the guy with the ball as a gay dude when we played it. 

Exactly

The one that actually makes more sense is that you yell peter on a short punt so nobody touches it. Nobody wants to touch a peter.

I don’t think so but I am in a bizarro world where posters here think homophobic is a good description of what Bijan said. 

The term (as it was used) is a homophobic pejorative. No one is saying that Bijan is. I'm not sure why that is so confusing. He apologized because of the accidental slight.

wasn't Peter a pumpkin eater?

I like how two posters said they think Bijan is gay and y'all are still tied up in the "Smear the Queer" debate. 

This site is 1 of 1.

Yeah, and a piper. 
He was good at multitasking, as the pumpkins and pickled peppers could attest.

I never thought of "smear the queer" as "slay the gay..." 

Is that what this is about?

Look, we are dumb boys. "Tackle the man with the ball" just didn't flow off the tongue quite correctly.

We apologize for not knowing we were making fun of gays... (if that is what this is about.)

I should probably preemptively apologize again, because I'll probably say it again. I won't be on TV, so nobody will care, but I'm gonna go ahead and apologize.

But still..... Y'all some hoes.

Queer hasn't always meant gay it's always meant queer it's an actual word with a definition. 
Just because it was coopted by a group to self describe doesn't mean it's a slur in every context. 
 

No kidding. They took the damn rainbow too.

Don't apologize as apparently you'll upset people. That is what this is about. People being mad that he apologized.

It's just a silly name of a dumb game that rhymes and is catchy. But if you really think about it, wouldn't willfully participating in the "smearing" of the "queer" also be gay?

Shit, it might be something they’re in to.
