Long time since I posted.

Rich is right in that we don't really 100% know what he meant to say.

However, calling his comments stupid is correct. Wallace had to read the story, then make a deliberate decision to wade into this story himself. His comment wasn't one of support, like many athletes today. He should have known the reaction to his comment and wisely avoided it. Sadly he didn't. I don't want to assign other motives than that.

PS: I'd always thought "shaking one's head" is a sign of disapproval or disagreement not a lack of understanding (for what it is worth.)

Oh, and Chris Broussard from ESPN said something much more offensive than Wallace. I'd much rather go after him with pitchforks.

Lol. What did you end up with?

shake your head
to move your head from side to side as a way of saying no or to express disagreement

to shake one's head 1.To move one's head from side to side, in a repeated swiveling motion from the neck, to indicate disagreement, negation, disbelief, or dismay.

turn one’s head from side to side in order to indicate refusal, denial, disapproval, or incredulity

Express disapproval, dissent, or doubt, as in That announcement had us shaking our heads in dismay . This expression, which can be used both literally (for moving one's head from side to side) and figuratively, dates from about 1300.

"doubt" "Incredulity" "disbelief" at least skirt the "not understanding" definition.

Rich, you are another version of Chael Sonnen when he gets going. In fact, watch the You Tube Video "One Hour of Epicness" You don't even have to like him to appreciate his quick witty comments. He is genuinely a funny smart guy that gets under people's skin, but to me in a way where he says things to push buttons and challenge a response. You can either roll it off all in good humor or you can get all pissy about it and take it personal OR just simply speak back in an intelligent manner. He will just tear up the ignorant folks!

I love Chael Sonnen! I might be the only one that does.

Too bad he isn't a better striker... and that he got sloppy at the end of the first Anderson Silva fight.

The cool thing about Chael is that he'll put on a show, say what's on his mind, but when the fight is over he'll shake hands and invite his opponent over to BBQ.

That's me in a nutshell. Except I invite people over so they can make me BBQ.

Isn't it amazing how polarizing this issue is. And truthfully, it's not even the homosexuality that is polarizing; it's how we communicate about it. Anything that is potentially offensive to the minority is taboo, no matter the intent. And in some cases, the reverse is true; what could be offensive to the majority is lauded.

My take on it is this. Wallace not getting the idea of a dude lusting after another dude is fine. Why can't he express this incredulity? The problem is the use of "SMH" which is being construed by some to be disapproval. I understand that position, but don't happen to agree that he was actually trying to express that sentiment. I think we are ridiculously over-sensitive about some things as a culture, and this is one of them. And race. (Of course, if you hate on the RIGHT people according the PC Police, than you are truly enlightened.)

I have had friends of all colors, religions, and sexual orientation, and in most cases we can joke about our differences and get along just fine. We just need to lighten up.

That said, Wallace is a big boy, he should have anticipated how this would go over and save himself the trouble and embarrassment and not tweeted it in the first place. Not that he didn't have the right to, it was just poor judgment considering how hyper-sensitive this issue is right now.

I'm about the most accepting straight person I know on LGBT issues and quite frankly this is a nothing issue.
His tweet did not display anything beyond a lack of "complete" acceptance.
Complete acceptance would be nice but it's an opinion and everyone is allowed their own.
What he tweeted was far from offensive

Except I invite people over so they can make me BBQ.

Ha! Ha! Rich, so you don't pat someone else's wife's butt and ask for her to cook you a steak??

Chael Sonnen is definitely one of my very favorite and yes, I definitely wish he was a better striker.

I wanted him at the very least to give Bones Jones a Rocky like effort and make that a 5 round fight.

Chael beat on Brian Stann and Bisbing, which were nice wins, but going against the best pound for pound guys, it has been tough on him. I still get bummed over his first fight against Silva and they way he dominated then lost.

One of the funniest Chael Sonnen comments:

When I was a little kid, I'd go outside with my friends and we'd talk about the latest technology, in medicine, gaming, and American ingenuity, and Anderson Silva and the Brazilian kids are sitting outside playing in the mud."

Two things:

1.) Anytime your statement involves the words "I'm not (blank) but..." or "No disrespect but...", we all know your intent, and you are a clown

2.) Rich...Gestapo? Really? C'mon man. Let's tone down the hyperbole a bit, shall we?

I have just seen this thread. Thanks for saying it straight (lol) Rich. You have done all of the heavy lifting, thanks.

Wow, all of this over a tweet. Who cares what Wallace said? The man is entitled to his opinions, whatever they may be. People need to chill out and stop being overly sensitive about tweets and online media. As long as the guy isn't getting arrested by the police, fined by the NFL, or starting problems in the lockerroom, I could care less what he does or says. All I want to see are results on the field. Receptions, yards, and touchdowns are ultimately how this man will be judged by me.

haha! thats the funniest crap I ever read on here
