Lesbians?

Kobe Bryant and LeBron James have drawn fire recently for their use of gay slurs and the word “retarded” (sometimes simultaneously), but nothing as been quite as serious as today’s Tweets from New Orleans Saints temporary running back Reggie Bush. In an attempt at “humor,” Mr. Bush used the L-word, prompting an immediate and thorough negative feedback from both people who can and cannot properly use the word “your.”
