I called this, and was called a fool for thinking it.

It's a TV show, get over it. Pretty soon we're going to be able to say absolutely nothing.

Don't be silly, they're too intent on ruining everyone else's fun. I mean, God forbid someone was offended!

Maybe if they didn't rely on the television to educate their children they wouldn't have to worry.
I agree.
I'm not offended, but I can understand why people would be. It has to due with the image Cena is trying to portray. I think wrestling should be viewed the same way a movie is, since wrestling is basically a play with a lot of actions sequences and stunts.
If your watching a movie that's trying to enlighten people to homophobia, like a movie about the death of Matthew Shepherd, to portray the villains in an accurate light you have to know what they were really calling Matthew so they're going to say the G, Q, H, and F words along with other jokes about sexuality.
The only problem is Cena is not the bad guy and the crowd eats up everything he says. The crowd cracking up by Cena insinuating The Rock is gay is not a good message to be sending to the demographic the WWE targets.
Heh, I think Cena proved/admitted his promos before The Rock returned sucked since he had to go back to rapping and making "offensive" remarks.
Whoever is writing for Cena is really messing up if ask me. He cut a promo about CM Punk a month or two ago where he said he was going to "whoop CM Punk's ass" and fans complained about that to him on twitter and he apologized. He went on to say next time he would be more creative and think of words like "crap locker" - long story short, he's said ass a few time since.

Even TNA cant ruin ECW for me
Next I want Cena to go back to being a rapper, have a rap battle with R-Truth and call him the n word on live tv and see if any one trips
It's easy to say we're being "too sensitive" when you're not the one on the receiving end of such comments.
Seriously, I'm so freaking tired of "too sensitive" comments. I'm terribly, terribly sorry if I think that companies should take responsibility and not make asshole comments that perpetuate negative stereotypes about what some people are. I'm terribly sorry if that's too "politically correct" for people. If Cena came out there and made offensive racist jokes would more people be offended? Because I sure as hell don't see why gay people should be allowed to be the victim of hurtful jokes more than people of color

Getting Noticed By Management
GLAAD needs to stop their BS. Did we hear Fat Women complain when Cena and Lawler cracked jokes on Vickie's weight, did we hear Christian groups complain when CM Punk does his SES gimmick or when Jeff Hardy said he was the Anti-Christ or what the Pope did last night performing fake miracles, and did we hear straight men complain when Orlando Jordan wore a dress and make up at JJ & Karen Wedding or did we complain when Orlando Jordan kissed another man on TV. The answer is NO because its TV and if we don't want to watch gay people on it we change the channel. Do we hear straight people complain about LOGO, "NO", because if we don't want to see gay programing we don't tune in to HOMO sorry meant LOGO. GLAAD is hurt by what Cena said but they are cool with the Rock's gay references to Cena, " Fruity Pebbles" and " Fruit Loops" and my favorite "even for my fans that like strudel " "But I prefer Pie". GLAAD if you people can choose to be GAY, why you can't choose to switch the channel. " Have A GAY DAY"

That's all well and good. However, I also am so freaking tired of this anti-bullying or "you made fun of me!" campaign all of a sudden. People are assholes. I got made fun of, beat up, yelled at, taken advantage of and bitched at every day for years and you know what? I was just fine. This has happened since people learned to talk and it's going to go on forever so quite bombarding me with messages telling me that I'm somehow responsible for every teenage person that is gay being driven to depression. Straight people get bullied and humiliated every day. Where's there national support group?
I love how pretty much everybody was all butthurt after Michael Cole mentioned Jerry's recently deceased mother, but now this happens and everyone thinks it's pointless.
I think both of them are pointless, but it's still pretty funny. Plus, both of them were scripted. I know Cena usually add libs, but I don't think he'd add lib this..unless he made a bet with Orton backstage...
Orton: Cena, you're not as high up in Vince's lap as you think you are.
Cena: Oh yeah, I bet I can make anti gay comments on live air, and Vince won't yell at me at all.
Orton: Are you kidding me, the media will be all over you.
Cena: Yeah, but his ugly bitch of a wife already lost her campaign, so Vince won't care.
Orton: Ok, I dare you. If Vince doesn't yell at you, I'll...I'll say you know more then 5 moves.
Cena: Deal!
Orton:...and maybe I'll go a little easy next time I punt you in the head.
But anyways, both were most likely told to do it. And the writers probably knew it was gonna get mentioned. I cannot fucking stand these activist though. Peta specifically, but all of them. They always end up making an ass of themselves. Like Becca said, It's a TV show. They go ballistic if a cartoon kills a dog. It's extremely annoying.
All those people are pretty much hypocrites. I swear...they tune in on a PG show and listen to every word, hoping and begging somebody says something any thing that could possibly be controversial.

It should have never been allowed to happen to you. It did happen to you, and it happens to myself and everyone else because it's acceptable. Then again, some of what you say could have been beneficial to you and has given you "character." It's a very tricky discussion.
People might have said the same thing about racism (oppression is probably a better word) years and centuries ago, but we've come a long way. Racism will never disappear, but if you make something unpopular and unacceptable, then you can control it to a degree.
I'm not a perfect person, but a lot of what I say, do, and think is in reaction to stuff. People are not born tough, but they become that way in order to survive.
Don't we all want to live in a better world?

Fine. It shouldn't have happened to me. Again, where's my national support group? Where are various celebrities telling me how hard their lives were at my age? Oh wait, I'm a straight male W.A.S.P. No media interest there so it doesn't matter right?
And people are going to be racists or homophobes or just plain assholes no matter what some B-list actress says on TV or if it's time to "eliminate the hate" or whatever. It's not something you can cure like a disease. Stop throwing it in our faces like we're all evil and try to fix something that's fixable.
Plus, they don't do a good fucking job at stopping it either. If they really think they're going to stop bullying, they're out of their minds. It's something that's their, and it's never going to happen.
Now what really pisses me off, is people who whine about name calling. Apparently people have never heard the saying "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me" people are such freaking *****es now a days.
My friend was joking around in some stupid graduation project class (all we do is take online surveys, taught by a teacher who gives more detentions in the whole school and all she does is teach a fucking cooking class) and he called me a ******. She gave him a detention. She freaking brags about giving detentions by the way too ("This is my 8th detention this week")It's freaking ridiculous. I would never actually call an actual diagnosed mentally challenged person ******ed, but I'm sick of people freaking out about someone calling their calculator or a friend ******ed. Seriously, just deal with it and stop bitching.
Now physical violence, it sucks, but either try to fight, learn to fight, or get your ass kicked and sue the fucking bastard. This is America isn't it? We sue everybody for the stupidest thing, why not get used to it.
This is slightly off topic, but what else pisses me off..is people who have never got in a school fight in their lives, but yet they judge, encourage, and make fun of other people in fights. Oh it was just a slap fight. Oh, you should totally go beat up that kid. I can't stand that. Of course you wanna see somebody else fight, but when it's you being told to beat up some kid, you obviously don't want to do it...that is unless you're really pissed off at what the kid did..but still.
This entire country is full of *****es...no...not the entire country, the entire planet. Even over in Australia with good ol' Casey, he fought back....he tried fighting bullying...and they suspended him! What does that show. It's all a load of bullshit.
Heh, this is just fucking ridiculous. As a bisexual, I hate it.
I wish all of these groups would just stop getting all butt hurt over such trivial shit. GLAAD seem to forget that the WWE had a ceremony/wedding for Billy and Chuck some years ago.
I don't think that the WWE has a problem with Gay people at all. Hulk Hogan has said many a time that a bunch of his wrestling friends were gay. If you've ever seen him talking to Brooke's gay roommate on Brooke Knows Best, you'd hear him say that.
It was just a joke designed to get a laugh out of people and honestly, there wasn't anything wrong with it, IMO.

This is a good thing, surely? I had no problem with him saying those things. But I'm not gay, I'm a mature human being and I understand that there is no malicious intent behind what he is saying. However, John Cena is a role model to children. You'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to believe that what he says wouldn't affect the children who idolise him. So what's the problem in Cena and WWE saying that homophobia is a bad thing?
He talks about "hustle, loyalty and respect". There's no harm in showing the last one.

I'm neat.
Yes it isit makes WWE fun to watch again.
They got to learn somehow. If they don't know from the start then they won't see the hidden humor in it. If they do know already, well they learned to never actually say the word "gay"
It might not effect a kid who can't comprehend what is actually being is being reffered to. And are you calling everyone who doesn't mind this stupid. That's "gay." And idolize is spelt with a z.
There is none.
This guy is an ambassador for make a wish foundation. Also he does he helps out with many other charities (Red Cross.) Don't say he doesn't respect people.
I see my comment was deleted, my bad if I used anything too offensive.
To be honest though, someone asked if people would be ok if Cena was racist. Being brutally honest, if someone can make a good Australia joke, I'd be happy to hear it. That's just me though. If Cena came out, said something about Australia, I wouldn't give a shit. It's just building character and not who he is outside of the ring.
