Tim Thomas So Bored, He Sits at Home Writing Facebook Posts About Chick-fil-A

As he took another sip of beer from his miniature Stanley Cup mug, Tim Thomas, the former Vezina trophy winner as the NHL’s most valuable goaltender, has admitted that he regrets taking the season off because he is so bored, he has nothing better to talk about fried chicken and gay people...

Have you seen his Facebook? And according to numerous sites, it's actually his Facebook page, so yeah... He's an idiot.

Anyone who can judge a person based on sexuality is an idiot in my book.

Chick-fil-A president, Dan Cathy is an even bigger idiot... He just destroyed their franchise... Others will follow in Boston's footsteps.

So are you "judging" Dan Cathy based on his religious convictions............or do you think ALL supporters of Christian traditional marriage are "idiots"?

Anyone who looks down on a group of people (who aren't hurting anyone) for being themselves, or being different is an idiot. Correct. If you judge gay people for simply being gay, you're an idiot as well.

I have several gay friends, and they're the nicest people you'll ever meet.

People need to stop being so damn narrow minded and ignorant.

Tell me... Do you still burn witches at the stake?

Why do you hate Christians so much???

I don't dislike Christians... I am a Christian. I dislike certain Christians who believe they have a right to judge others... Others who aren't hurting anyone, and who are just living their own lives.

Like I said before, I form an opinion on people based on a 1 by 1 basis... Seems like you don't. That's pretty sad.

Its a shame, he used to be one of my favourites.

But for every person you have boycott them, you'll have five support them. This is the US by the way.

Same here, but now I can't stand the guy.

Think so? I would have imagined an even split... Or close to that anyway.

To get back on topic, Tim Thomas is an idiot. Not even necessarily for his views, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but for constantly putting them at the forefront. I can't think of a single modern-day athlete who is so overt with stating their political view.

Also, let's be clear, these aren't Muhammad Ali type statements here.

Depends where you are. Middle or southern US? My ratio is accurate. California or New York, you're right.

It would a appear as though you are lying when you say " I form an opinion on people based on a 1 by 1 basis" because I'm sure you've never meet Dan Cathy.


You also appears YOU seem to believe that YOU "have a right to judge others... Others who aren't hurting anyone, and who are just living their own lives".

I don't see anyone else besides yourself, who is doing any "judging"

On July 16, Dan Cathy, 59 years old, was asked in an interview by the Baptist Press, a news service of the Southern Baptist Convention, whether he opposed gay marriage. "We are very much supportive of the family—the biblical definition of the family unit," he said. "We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives.…We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families." The Cathys are Southern Baptists.

He's is entitled to his opinion, and beliefs, just as you are............but I have yet to see him insult anyone connected to the gay community, refuse to hire or serve anyone who identifies themselves as gay...........in fact it's the supporters (like you) of the gay community who are insulting and calling for a boycott and trying to put their ideology above his.

Possibly..... But we all have the right to freedom of speech, religion etc. No different then a lot of other people who religious views seem to breed intolerance. Pick any religion.... Any of them and u will find mass intolerance to some group of people. Best thing to do is shut the hell up and keep your opinions to yourself. That goes for TT too. Awesome goalie but omg opiniated or what! WOW!

Some are just more opinionated than others, and that's their right, as it is Thomas's to express himself his way. There is no "normal" way for Athletes to conduct themselves, and nor should there be. I bet if he was a HUGE Obama supported the "media" would be tripping over themselves to tell us how they love him.

BTW Albert Pujols and his manager, Tony LaRussa, attended the "Restoring Honor," rally held on the Mall in Washington D.C. The rally was organized by popular radio and television host Glenn Beck.

Possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read... How do you not understand this?

Dan Cathy is one person, and I'm judging him because of his ignorant comments. You don't have to meet someone to tell if they're an idiot or not... Their words/actions speak for themselves.
