YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
I'm a little surprised that nobody's created a thread discussing this, though maybe not all that many people follow ROH closely. I read about this a few hours ago, first I've heard of it.
Current ROH World Champion, Jay Brisco, is in the midst of some controversy due to comments he made on Twitter recently. Brisco's Tweet reads:
"If that makes you happy, then congratulations!!!...try and teach my kids there's nothing wrong with that and I'll fucking shoot you."
Whether you agree or disagree with gay marriage, writing something like on a platform like Twitter in this day & age is pretty fucking stupid. I don't know the man, so I don't know if he truly would do something like that or not. I personally doubt it but, then again, how can anybody possibly be sure? If he disagrees with gay marriage rights, then he has the right to voice that opinion. When I was a kid, if someone wrote something in which a threat to "shoot" someone was implied, it would, most likely, have been treated as little more than a nonsensical bit of rambling. In this day & age, however, things have changed. In the here & now, people go on shooting rampages in which innocent people, including children, are murdered. I think his Tweet would have been perfectly acceptable had it not contained a potential death threat.
Jay Brisco is the current ROH World Champion. However, these remarks were made via Twitter rather than something he said in front of fans at an ROH wrestling event. Frankly, I think the whole thing will be forgotten about by this time next week, if not sooner. That being said, should ROH hand down some sort of sanction against Brisco or should they just let the thing burn out & simply go on about business as usual?
