Football player goes on antigay rant, says he doesn't care about getting fired, gets fired [View all]
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.”
