I believe him. Many of us say hateful things when in the heat of the moment. He most likely didn't mean to say those things
HOWEVER what he did say is basically what he thinks most of the time. So he is just a disrespectful person in general he just hides it. So I'm not sad to see him get suspended lol
This ref was rumored to be gay for a while. I forget who, but in 2010 some type of insider said on a radio station most people know he's gay. I'm not sure if you know that, but I wanted to clarify it wasn't a random insult. He even calls him by name, which seems to make it clear he knows of him very well at this point.
