00:00So there's this real crazy situation right now in San Francisco with the baseball team of San Francisco Giants.
00:06And there's a guy named Aubrey Huff.
00:09He's a former San Francisco Giant.
00:11Won a couple World Series out in San Francisco.
00:14He has a bit of a reputation.
00:16Aubrey Huff is a homophobic guy who went on a homophobic rant after Giants Pride Night.
00:23You know, every team in the league celebrated Pride Night.
00:27And they wore special hats with the rainbow flag on and things like that to welcome in and make gay
00:33fans feel comfortable at the ballpark.
00:35I can't see how that's problematic for anybody.
00:38You don't have to celebrate it.
00:39Why not allow gay people who love baseball to feel like they're wanted to?
00:45I think it's a great thing, right?
00:46And this was San Francisco.
00:48Yes.
00:49Obviously a town that's stereotypically has a very strong gay population.
00:53Yes.
00:53All right?
00:54So Aubrey Huff went on this homophobic rant because a number of the players on the Giants, if I go
01:00through this quickly here, who were not in support of the gay lifestyle, who are very religious men and believe
01:07what they believe about homosexuality, they wore the hats.
01:12But some of them put some Bible passages up on their hats so they at least could say, I guess,
01:18to their families or their friends and supporters, I don't want to wear the hat.
01:22I have to wear the hat.
01:23But I'm going to make it clear that I don't support that lifestyle by quoting scripture, essentially, on the hat.
01:30Yes.
01:30That's the story.
01:31All right?
01:32Aubrey Huff comes out and goes on a long, like, multi-post rant about how offensive it is and how
01:40San Francisco is going to lose out on their fans and they're spineless and feckless.
01:46And Buster Posey, another former giant of One World Series at San Francisco, who's the team president, should have told
01:54the guys, you don't have to wear the hat.
01:57And apparently you don't have to wear the hat.
01:59You don't have to wear the hat.
02:00Buster Posey either didn't know that or didn't tell the guys.
02:03He didn't tell them.
02:03It's optional.
02:04Yeah, he didn't tell them.
02:05So the guys that felt like they're forced to even wear this hat had their own silent protest by writing
02:11Bible scripture on it.
02:13Now Curt Schilling's got into it.
02:15Now it's an attack on the gay lifestyle.
02:18And I find this whole thing, first off, I feel bad.
02:22I feel bad for, you know, gay baseball fans who feel a certain way when they're getting caught up in
02:28this ridiculous drama.
02:30From a closed-minded, homophobic douchebag.
02:32I agree with you.
02:33And that's what I think Huff is.
02:34He is.
02:35I don't care who you slept with.
02:36I never have.
02:37I also think it's a choice.
02:39I think you were born a certain way and that's who you are.
02:42And God bless you if you can embrace it and live a happy life.
02:45I don't care who you sleep with as long as they're of age and consenting.
02:49Right?
02:49And that's truly my own personal feeling.
02:51And I completely agree with that 100%.
02:53100%.
02:53And I also think for the men that are on San Francisco or throughout baseball that have a different feeling
02:59about it, they're allowed to have that feeling.
03:02And if they don't want to wear the hat because it goes against their religious beliefs, I don't think they
03:06should have to wear the hat.
03:07They did.
03:07I don't think any of this crap should be forced on anybody, regardless of the cause.
03:12But it wasn't.
03:13And that's the point.
03:15Aubrey Huff went on this rant attacking San Francisco, attacking the manager, not really attacking Buster Posey, but kind of
03:22saying, yo, Buster just in over his head.
03:25Yo, Buster, yo, what is he supposed to do?
03:27But the idea of supporting the gay lifestyle is offensive to Aubrey Huff.
03:33When did I care what Aubrey Huff had to say?
03:35Exactly.
03:36Right?
03:36Exactly.
03:37And now I have to care about it because this is a big story right now.
03:41It is.
03:41And it's our job to talk about it.
03:43So let me say this to Aubrey Huff.
03:46Number one, I don't know if I've ever even heard of you.
03:49Number two, I do respect the fact, having looked you up now, that you were a professional baseball player and
03:54a good one at that.
03:55And that you won multiple World Series.
03:57And I think that's great that you were that good at your chosen profession.
04:01But your beliefs are not my beliefs.
04:03And my beliefs don't have to be your beliefs.
04:05But the fact that you would use this pulpit you have now on social media and your relationship with the
04:14men in that locker room to go on such a hateful,
04:23And you shouldn't be given the oxygen we're giving you to spew these hateful, homophobic remarks that you spewed over
04:37and over again online.
04:39And I want to be very clear.
04:41You are welcome to have the beliefs you have.
04:44That's the beauty of America.
04:46You're welcome to even verbalize those beliefs.
04:50But when your beliefs now intersect with the game on the field that we all love, that's where I personally
04:57draw the line.
04:57So you can hate gays all you want.
05:00Keep it to yourself.
