Brandon Spikes gets all homophobic on twitter
I’m homophobic just like I’m arachnophobic.I have nothing against homosexuals or spiders but I’d still scream if I found one in my bathtub !

Well, it's obvious he's intending this as a joke, but it's also obvious it's a joke not many people will find funny.
Dear athletes: Word to the wise. If you have something to say that even treads a line, don't tweet it!
Brandon Spikes got some backlash on twitter but I'm not sure this deserves any more than that.
Honestly, his tweet could've been a lot worse. It wasn't hateful, just distasteful. And maybe a little ignorant if you want to go that far, but nothing worse than that.
Trust me, there are a lot more offensive things said on twitter.
Still, as I said above, if you're a slightly famous person keep it to yourself, c'mon. It's common sense.
PEOPLE !!!! It’s a joke … seriously a JOKE !!! Chill out
