    Were his comments right? Absolutely not but again, what 22 year old is perfectly behaved? Probably very few...

    Plus...this guy has the middle name “Lynn”...just saying...

    I’ll risk being cut from the forum and say this thread is Gay. “Oh no...I’m a homophobe!!!”

    I mean, even by teenage/college age standards, this is pretty tame. Using the word "gay" in the schoolyard-insult way when you're joking around is a lot different from like ... actually directing an anti-gay slur at a gay person, which is what some people are acting like he did.

    And using the "n-word" ending in "a" is a lot different from the version ending in "er", especially when it looks like it's just quoted from a video or a rapper.

    But no - it must be HATE SPEECH! GRRRRRRRR POLITICAL ANGER!!!

    Is this serious? It looks to me like a couple of friends getting on each others case about something. It's just the way they talk. Twitter conversations make no sense anyway. It's a "private" conversation between a couple of kids. This is just stupid.

    Boz isn't going anywhere, at least this season. Hopefully, he'll get back to the old Boz and I think he will. Tomlin still has hope in him and I'm glad for that.

    Honestly this is a non-story seriously. I think we all have gotten drunk and said way worse things on social media or other places when we were in college.

    I'm glad I'm not famous, there'd be a lot of drunken rants at age 22 where I would have been called the biggest a-hole on the planet

    What's more offending, that he talked how a lot of people did before everyone was overly sensitive...or that people are telling him to kill himself? I've watched movies from the early 2000's recently that have had much worse language than anything he said. Boo-hoo.

    So true that there are a lot of keyboard tough guys.

    I read an article over a decade ago that predicted with the increase use of text, email and other forms of non verbal communication that the spoken word would become less talented of a skill or communication form. There is something to be said (or typed ) about having a good ole discussion or disagreement face to face. Eventually it either gets worked out or punched out. Most of the bitches typing this stuff on the internet wouldnt have the guts to say that stuff to somebodys face.

    "I"ll sue you!" ....Modern Man's Warcry
    "Bullying" or "Shaming" are part of that war cry.

    As for Boz, I believe what many have said here that what was said by the kid when he was in college, although insensitive and misguided, is pretty much that of a 20 something jock...insensitive and misguided. I wonder why none of these internet tough guys are looking up Tyreek Hill's past and clamoring for his release? If posters don't know, it involves choking the mother of his child unconscious.

    The losers that are trying to dig up old social media posts to get the guy released are the scourge of society and someday a few of them will likely win Darwin awards.
