Football player goes on antigay rant, says he doesn't care about getting fired, gets fired

Canadian football player Christion Jones has just learned the hard way that sometimes actions have consequences.

The running back for the Edmonton Eskimos is officially out of a job after he had a totally unprovoked homophobic meltdown on Twitter over the weekend.

It all started Sunday evening when Jones shared his unsolicited opinions about same-sex sexual relations in a since-deleted tweet.

“Ima keep it this real … Man ain’t suppose to be with a man. A woman is not supposed to be with another woman,” he wrote at 7:57 p.m. on June 27. “THATS ME THO! Live life with safety.”

when the hater in chief is kicked out of the WH. All those who enabled this POS will also be kicked out of office too, hopefully. They see their dismal poll numbers across the board. It seems like they are doubling down, and spewing even more nonsense and hate.
