The article discusses a controversy following the Atlanta Falcons’ 29-28 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, centering on Falcons running back Bijan Robinson. During a post-game broadcast on Amazon Prime, Robinson used the phrase “smear the queer,” referring to a childhood backyard football game. This phrase is widely recognized as a homophobic slur, which sparked backlash from the pro-LGBT community. Robinson later apologized on social media, stating that even though the phrase was from a childhood game, he understands it was inappropriate and expressed regret for offending anyone.

Many viewers, however, felt robinson’s original comment was innocent and authentic, pointing out that he had just played an outstanding game and likely did not intend harm. Some social media users defended him, suggesting no apology was necessary and criticizing those demanding it as overly sensitive or hypocritical. The article also highlights the broader issue of selective outrage and perceived hypocrisy surrounding social and political discourse today. it presents the incident as an example of a disconnect between genuine youth expressions and modern sensitivities.

Regular Americans, including football fans, tend to despise hypocrisy and inauthenticity.

Unfortunately, we saw both on display following the Atlanta Falcons’ 29-28 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night.

During the post-game show on Amazon Prime, Falcons Pro Bowl running back Bijan Robinson used the phrase “smear the queer” to refer to a common, backyard, keep-away football game played in childhood, which sparked a pro-LGBT backlash that unfortunately prompted Robinson to issue an apology on the social media platform X.

The “slur” occurred during an exchange with Prime analyst and former NFL star Richard Sherman.

In a clip posted to X, Sherman described a play in which Robinson eluded multiple Tampa Bay defenders.

“Oh, this boy grew up in the backyard!” Sherman exclaimed as a way of praising the running back.

“Hey, ‘smear the queer,’” Robinson replied.

“That name is considered an offensive, homophobic slur and is widely condemned,” per Awful Announcing. “While some have tried to claim it was meant to represent someone who is ‘odd’ or ‘different’ instead of an LGBTQ+ individual, the term was often used in a derogatory way at the time as well.”

“He’s young, and he was referencing a childhood memory, but in 2025, ignorance of that particular slur doesn’t really fly,” per Total Apex Sports, adding its two cents to the collective scolding of Robinson.

Unfortunately, Robinson later issued an apology on X.

“Hey everyone I want to apologize for the insensitive comment I made in the broadcast, it was a football game we used to play as a kid but that’s not an excuse,” Robinson wrote. “I recognize the mistake and make sure to do better in the future. It was not reflective of my beliefs and I am so sorry to those I offended seriously!”

Awful Announcing inexplicably called that apology “heartfelt.”

To those of us who have read many such “apologies” over the years, however, it came across as standard, Human Resources-style boilerplate.

Robinson, who leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage, should not have had to apologize.

For one thing, he joined the Prime post-game studio fresh from a thrilling win over a division rival. Down 28-14 in the fourth quarter, the Falcons rallied to win on a last-second field goal. Along the way, Robinson rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown. He also caught eight passes for 82 yards.

In other words, does anyone seriously believe that in that moment the running back intended an anti-gay slur? Or did Sherman’s comment merely call to mind a childhood game that, to Robinson, had nothing to do with LGBT?

Either way, the on-air moment, unlike the subsequent apology, felt authentic. Perhaps that explains why X users almost unanimously concluded that Robinson had nothing for which to apologize.

One X user, however, nailed the sentiment that many conservatives undoubtedly .

“Don’t apologize to people who never forgive,” the user wrote.

Indeed, the self-righteousness of those who demand apologies for “slurs” knows no bounds. Nor does their hypocrisy.

After all, those same people have spent nearly a decade slandering their political opponents as “fascists” or “Nazis.” Some of them — the demon-possessed ones — even celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk, while others demand more violence.

In short, as one of those X users noted, “normal people literally do not care” what Robinson said. We overlook carelessness if we sense authenticity. And we abhor apologies issued to satisfy wicked hypocrites.
