Dstar's a retard.

My poor, misguided soul always thought that Billy Beane, the GM of the Oakland A's and star of Moneyball, was gay. Until today, when I found at that that was a DIFFERENT Billy Beane. I've been misguided for 'bout three years now. This is the greatest day of my life!!! I hated having a role model that was gay!!! not that I hate gay people of anything...

I always felt insecure telling some of my more close minded Christian friends that my favorite book was Moneyball, because I was scared they would get upset over one of my heroes being gay.

Dstar's a retard?

Okay, you clearly have issues with people who are gay and now retards. Give me a break. Calling people retards is for middle school. Is that where you are at? Calling people retards just demeans people with special needs. You know, the ones who are doing the best they can. Can you say the same thing?

How about you give us a break

Look, nothing personal “missionmom”… but trying to police the internet is by far a much more annoying and much lamer activity than someone randomly using the word “retard” as a colloquial. Judging by your SB nation user history, it so far seems you’ve created this account exclusively as an attempt to police such random occurrences – but let me advise you, you’re not only just wasting your time, you’re making an ass of yourself and in fact technically trolling with a string of such activity.

I’ll admit dstar’s post isn’t exactly full of particularly great or useful content, but I fail to see how what he said above is offensive or indicates that he has a problem with people who are retarded, or gay. You seriously need to lighten up a little.

Well spun.

For what it's worth

I think this kid is barely out of middle school.

Moneyball

Did you ever read the book? While I can understand some intial confusion, it’s impossible to read the book and still confuse him with Billy Bean.

hence

me calling myself a retard. It’s only my favorite book ever.
