    I thought Tua deserved it until I saw the red suit he was wearing.

    Kyler tweeted the word queer in 2012 when he was 14. Give the trophy to Tua.

    That was a despicable move by USA Today and the reporter. They are scum.

    Despicable by anyone and everyone reporting it, re-tweeting it, giving it any merit whatsoever. I am unable to find anything homophobic at all about his tweets. He was joking with friends and clearly THEY didn't take it as offensive, saw the situation. If this is what society is all about now, telling someone they are who they were at 14 fucking years old, I want no part of it. Dude wins the pinnacle award in his current sport and not even 12 hours later, someone is pathetic enough to search 6-year old tweets from a 14-year old!

    Parents are making a mistake by letting their kids have social media at that age. But who knew that what you say as a young teenager was going to define your life and character permanently? Could anyone survive?

    Exactly.

    Plus, In the context it was used it could also mean it's other definition of "odd."

    No more Flinstones...theme song says they're gonna have "a gay old time". Don't bother having yourself a merry little Christmas....who knew you could "make the yuletide gay"? I wonder if they offer yuletide conversion therapy.
