Audience members and Footy Show co-hosts disagreed with Newman when he said the kiss between NFL player Michael Sam and his partner was an “annoyingly gratuitous act.” Michael Sam had just been drafted into the NFL with cameras on hand for a celebratory smooch by his partner.
“No heterosexuals do that when they’re drafted,” Newman asserted.
“Yes they do,” said Garry Lyon as audience members began booing.
“They do it all the time,” Brayshaw added.
“You always see shots of players drafted, whether it be basketball or footy, with their girlfriends, parters, wives,” said Lyon. “Of course they embrace and kiss.
“You are wrong on this.”
“An opinion can’t be wrong” Newman defended.
“It’s a very natural act for them to do,” said Brayshaw.
“You are being homophobic,” said Lyon.
“You are off the pace,” Brayshaw added, “that is a natural thing for them to do” with the audience applauding.
How is that an opinion at all? Do those people seriously not realize how, once they have to rationally explain their homophobia, they start sounding like complete idiots every. single. time? And how, just maybe, it might mean that they're wrong about it?

The other panellists wasted no time in putting him in his place. The dude wasn't even finished spewing that homophobic nonsense of a sentence and he already knew he was wrong for it.
