Now, I personally don’t care for many thing Huff said, but let’s be honest as long as people toe the PC line and don’t “offend” the liberals, they are ok and acceptable. There are many in Twitter that have been removed for speaking out in proper ways and for proper causes they deem right.

Again, not supporting Huff, but he does have free speech.

That’s a fact. He tried to kill someone.

Now you are scared of an idiot baseball player teaching his kids to protect themselves from freaks like this guy ?

You are a lame brain larping fool on a BO forum trying to justify a liberal cities baseball team organization....have fun with that.

I could t care either way, just wanted to make a fool of you as fast as possible.

You have a funny way of showing you don’t care.

I mean, it isn’t anything I care about at the end of the day. Not really even table talk at dinner worthy. Forum post worthy I guess, but it’s huff and some twitter post crybaby bs. If it was Posey I might talk about it at work...


Also just wanted ( as stated ) to let dum dum know that if he’s looking for a dangerous shooter that actually shot another human, he can look at a Bernie Supporter for that.

I couldn’t resist, apologies.

Bingo.

I had no idea what he had Tweeted about prior to this thread. I expected to find some seriously heinous things being said given the outrage. I can’t really say I’m offended at all or see what the big deal is. He made some dumb comments on the internet. Life goes on. The NFL even celebrates guys who have done way worse.

Huff should just buy a seat behind home plate if he wants to go

I just scanned through this as quickly as I could but didn’t see anyone mention he also tweeted about a female coach the Giants just hired, then tried to bring some current Giants into it. Why have the distraction during a celebration?

I agree. I think Huff needs to be reminded he’s Aubrey Huff.

I am flat out embarrassed for all of us at the direction this has taken.

YES, Huff has the right to free speech. But - like anything else - there are CONSEQUENCES to your words and actions. If you're a guy, would you go up to a girl who is a friend and say, "Hey, you're really difficult to deal with, as you're a woman and all. And, just so you know, I think it's funny to make jokes about women and I don't think there's any place for you or your kind in men's sports. You're still inviting me to your party on Friday, right?"

This is NOT about Trump or even necessarily the Iranian women thing. Have you not all seen everything else Huff has said?

Take a moment, if you're patient enough, to read at least the bolded parts:

"Huff doubled down, saying of new Giants coach Alyssa Nakken, “I don’t believe a woman should be in men’s pro sports ... There’s so many more people, especially men, who grind it out who deserve that spot more than she does. But I also don’t believe that men belong in women’s college sports or sports in general, either. Why would they want to be? I wouldn’t want to coach women in sports. Women are tough enough to deal with anyway.”

Even though women, am I right? jokes are about as cutting-edge as Austin Powers imitations, it’s absolutely Huff’s right to say these things. And it’s absolutely the Giants’ right not to want him around because he’s said these things. Individually, the tweets are annoying at best, troubling at worst. Collectively, they paint a picture of someone that the Giants—unanimously, according to Huff himself—don’t want associated with their organization.

“Giants officials have made it clear to me they are not banning Aubrey Huff because they dislike or disagree with his political views,” The Athletic’s Andrew Baggarly wrote on Twitter Monday night. “They believe he has crossed the line when it comes to misogyny, vulgarity and common decency. Words matter.”

That’s not a “violation of free speech,” no matter what Huff wants his followers to believe. This isn’t a First Amendment matter. One more time: Huff’s not being prosecuted by the government for his tweets. He won’t be arrested or jailed. But he has to accept responsibility for what he says. This isn’t a #MAGA issue, this isn’t a Trump issue, no matter how many conservative voices Huff may retweet saying it is. This is a Huff issue, nothing more."

He did nothing wrong and is being singled out because of his politics. Had he said "The President should be taken down" he would be welcome in open arms.

Yes, this action is only to protect the rich season ticket holders of the Bay Area. Most of which I’m guessing are not conservatives or don’t hold conservative values.

If he was Kathy Griffin, his number would be retired.

He made a joke about kidnapping and raping women.
This is just the Giants telling him he’s an assh*le, and they don’t want him around. Simple.

NO. Huff is being singled out because he was a complete and utter jackass in his speech, exercised no decorum whatsoever, and as such a decision was quite understandably made not to invite him to a party with folks who do NOT choose to publicly make such ridiculous comments.

It's not wrong to have opinions. It's not wrong to have thoughts. But the way you present them matter. If you want to go about things the way Huff did/does, that's obviously entirely your right. But you need to understand it's ALSO the right of others to be offended and to choose not to invite you to the party. How that could possibly surprise anyone is beyond me.

Lastly, because apparently a lot of guys here are uninformed: While San Francisco is an extremely progressive city, it should be noted that principle owner Charles Johnson has given a mountain of money to republican candidacy and virtually none to the democratic side (over 1m to 5k).

For someone who does not care, you are sure spewing quite a bit of knowledge on this subject. I have a hard time understanding why this issue is even debatable. Isn't it in the countries best interest for a company to chose who they want and do not want around them? Should they have to invite him if he does not fit with an image that they want? I also want to point out that the bar is super low on who they are inviting back. If companies can choose who they make wedding cakes for, why can't the Giants say "Thanks, but no thanks" to Huff? I just see quite a bit of hypocrisy coming from a group that claims the other side is always hypocritical. The dude has made his bed, he now gets to lie in it.

You should just stop. Drawing a line in the sand between kidnapping and rape is NOT okay. Think before you make your next post. Seriously!

But... he didn’t say anything about raping women. Just like he didn’t say anything about murdering women. Let’s stick to the facts. The line being drawn is facts/non-facts.

Dude, you should put your phone down for a minute and have a good cry. You're getting worked up.

People are (correctly) calling out the fact that you're wildly misrepresenting what the tweet said in order to embellish your point, and you're trying to twist that into condoning actual kidnapping?

Seriously, you need a break from internet time. That's what the grownups here are telling you.

It just makes them look petty.

Just like that idiot doing the radio interview with Huff.

Larry Baer is still part of the Giants organization. This is someone who actually assaulted his wife on camera. Huff made an inappropriate joke on social media. That is bad, but no where as bad as what Baer did. I guess that is why Giants supporters are lying about what Huff said. The Giants can do whatever they want, but not inviting Huff just shows they are a bunch of hypocrites. Why hasn't Baer been forced out of the organization?

Exactly. And this is where the outrage starts to go off the rails. The further you get from the actual truth the harder it is to take you seriously. If what he said was so offensive in the first place then would anyone really need to spin it to make it sound worse?

It’s NOT okay?!? So it’s okay for you to put words into people’s mouths to embellish what they said to make them sound even worse? Why don’t you just throw some good fashioned murder and some puppy kicking in there as well. Ahh who are we kidding Michael Vick has already proved the powers that be don’t care about puppies.

Would I be terminated if I wrote what Huff wrote? Nope.

Did Huff explicitly agree in his old employment contract with the Giants that he wouldn’t say something like he did? No, not likely.

It’s just nonsense and the Giants acting like bullies.

This is so far out of touch.

They know they will be terrible for the next 5 years at least.

The warriors are coming to town and I’m sure some people would love to cry about Aubrey and cancel their tickets lol.

That’s what rich people love to do is make a point with what they spend their money on.

What if it was a conservatively based market team ? What would that team do ?

Que that terrible played out Journey song !

Huff is a moron that was trying to stay relevant. Seeking out women's issues and womens tweets just to poke fun at shows he has a sad life. He has the right to speak like a d bag and the Giants have a right to check him on it.

[3of5-2]

If you are offended by anything Huff said, you should take a hard look at yourself to see just how thick your skin is. Perhaps there are too many beta males on here but c'mon people, grow a set already. Quit crying about something some former baseball player says. Actions speak louder than words, and so far, all he has done is made a few tweets. I am not aware that he has actually "kidnapped" any Iranian women, and he sure hasn't raped any of them.
