So the left guy swam for america and the right guy swam for UK both there was a team match and they won, The British guy literally jumped on the American guy and now they are being called f*Gs because the British guy came out as gay, Even tho they both dominated the swimming at tokyo

Having always been a fan of diving I’ve followed both for a long time. As far as I can tell neither gives a damn what ignorant people think. I’m proud of them both.

The guy in question, Tom Daley, has been honest about being gay for years, so I guess this is the usual American misinformation and ignorance coming into play.

nothing wrong with one guy jumping on another guy. it's how we celebrate wins and other achievements. and does not make the guy getting jumped on gay either. or even the guy doing the jumping. I and my teammates did that a lot after winning in track meets and football games and wrestling meets. It is just good male bonding. Also, hey hey, ho ho, homophobia has got to go!!! many teen boys are closer friends with another boy than they are with girls they go out with. soldiers in wars are very close with their buddies and talk about everything with them and lay their lives down for their buddies in war. You have to be a real jerk to run down a soldier giving his life for his buddy in battle.
