Is this homophobic?

[Al B. Sure!]

Martin is a syndicated newspaper columnist, a political analyst for CNN and host of “Washington Watch With Roland Martin” on TV One.

During last Sunday’s Super Bowl, he tweeted: “Ain’t no real bruhs going to H&M to buy some damn David Beckham underwear! ..If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the sh@t out of him! ” and “I bet soccer fan Piers Morgan will be in line at H&M in the morning to get his hands on David Beckham’s underwear line! LOL.”

This was in reference to a TV ad with soccer star David Beckham shown wearing nothing but his underwear.

GLAAD demanded Roland Martin's firing and CNN complied with his suspension.

I'm still trying to figure out what was homophobic.

Expressing disapproval at someone's enthusiasm for an ad with a man in his underwear and saying "smack the sh@t out of him" doesn't sound homophobic to you? I'm still trying to figure out if you're trolling.

No it really doesn't. What does a man being a ***** have to do with homosexuality?

So... do only gay men buy underwear in the states?

This. How does Martin's tweets not sound homophobic?!

[Uncle Sparky]

What if the 'dude' works for an advertising firm that handles 'Fruit of the Loom'? Couldn't this be an expression of extreme brand loyalty. An ex football player might have a vested interest in an underwear brand.

How the hell does it? Sounds like some insecure people at GLAAD who assume everything is about gays.

What do gays have to do with underwear? H&M? David Beckham? A man interested in an underwear commercial?

Are you stereotyping homosexuals?

I'm glad we somehow managed to fob off Piers Morgan on you...the guy is a prize c**t...

[a.kitman]

is bruhs the new bros?

[BeBMan]

He wants the mob beating, possibly lynching people cuz he doesn't like a certain brand of underwear? This Roland Martin guy is worse than Hitler.

[Tuberski]

Homophobic, but he shouldn't be fired because of it. This is gay bullying, plain and simple.

ACK!

I thought it was just a typo of "brush".

If it's homophobic (which it obviously is) he should be fired for it. Unacceptable.

[Provost Harrison]

Is it obviously homophobic? It's certainly a stab at "metrosexuality" but certainly not all gays have the traits of metrosexuals. So, really, it is an attack on metrosexuals, which, quite frankly, they deserve for being such girlymen
