I would have said he should have been fined. Maybe even not allowed to play in the Super Bore. But I did not think he should be fired.

But then I thought about it. These god damned sports teams are heavily subsidized by taxpayers. And while not EVERYONE in San Francisco is either gay or non-homophobic few would argue that SF is not the epicenter for gay acceptance in the United States.

So why the hell should the good people of SF continue to pay this punk. Trade him somewhere more homophobic.

But in all honesty I will be surprised if a single damned thing is done to him.
