Its basically wiggs is a homophobe off a his post game interview where he mumbles the word getting.

ESPN has become especially at times way too political and divisive. They try and fuel fires that are not there. The PC culture is just ridiculous. You can't even joke about things without some backlash from the main stream frauds in media. I don't even know what these terms mean like LBGTQIA, nor do I care. OK/Rant off. ESPN, stick to sports, I don't want to know about your opinions on anything else, Thanks.

P.S. I will continue to turn you off when you bring up BS.

I assume QIA was added by somebody in PR.

I'm pretty "meh" about all of it either way... so I couldn't even venture a guess about what IA means.

Wolves fan I know you were just ranting (I absolutely agree ESPN has some issues) so this may not need to be said but...FWIW Folks that are LBGT+ do care if you utilize the correct terms. That's not a political statement it's one of individual people. Of course what really matters is that we value everyone as individuals. I don't doubt that about you. That's all except...screw ESPN!!! :)

Great. You made me look up the acronym. Apparently, Q stands for questioning (I was wrong on that one), I for intersexual and A for asexual.

Why do I have a feeling that I'm gonna be looked at a lot like how I look at the generation that still says things like "Let's go get some oriental food" in the very near future? I don't mean any harm by it... I'm just sorta in my own bubble!

Funny thing about our PC-ness in this country. I worked in Shanghai from 2007-2009...guess what my Chinese partners referred to themselves as? That's right...Oriental!!!!

One night I was at a dinner partner in Shanghai with some of my partners...I'm the only white guy at the table. I tell them I'm going on a business trip to Hong Kong the next week, and one guy says "Oh, he needs to go to such and such bar". Another guy says "Can he go there...being a Gweilo?" I asked what a Gweilo was and whether it was derogatory. He said "you know, a 'round eye'. And it's not derogatory at all...kind of like you guys calling us Chinks". I laughed and told him that we find a word like Chink very offensive and would never use it. He just shook his head and laughed. Oh well, different strokes I guess.
