Detroit Lions Justin Durant Says He’d Still Eat At Chick Fil A Even If They Supported Slavery Because The Chicken is Too Tasty
DM – Detroit Lions Justin Durant has tweeted that he would refuse to boycott Chick-fil-A even if it came out in support of slavery. The linebacker took to Twitter to weigh into the debate over the embattled chicken restaurant’s staunch opposition to gay marriage, suggesting all the fuss was about nothing.But the 26-year-old went a step too far when, in response to a tweet about whether he would stop buying chicken sandwiches if Chick-fil-A announced it was pro-slavery, he said no, claiming the chicken was ‘too tasty.’ Today, Mr Durant logged back on to Twitter to shrug off his comments as a joke. ‘I’ve been called the highest level of coon and super ignorant for that tweet…making it even more funny to me,’ he wrote today, adding in a follow up tweet: ‘People always looking for something to be mad about.’
I’m so on Team Durant it’s not even funny. I don’t even care that he was joking which he obviously was. I just respect the stance. If a man says he’d eat the chicken even if Chick Fil A supported slavery and he’s black you can’t argue with it. You can’t condemn him. You can’t say anything. The guy loves the chicken and he isn’t gonna stop eating it period. I just hope that he is never forced to apologize about this. America needs more Justin Durants. A man and his chicken can go a long way.
i still eat there even though they don’t support slavery
i would eat there more often if they supported slavery…
A [black] man and his chicken can go a long way.
get this man on the Patriots
Well, considering the head of Chick-fil-a is a devout christian, he does support slavery. Rules on slavery are in the same book (Leviticus) as the one line against gay shit. It’s all a bunch of garbage either way.
ps – can anyone here actually take a religious person seriously? If someone prefaces a statement with “I’m a Christian…” then there’s no reason to take them seriously (unless they follow that with a soliloquy on how they like to rape children.)
this guy is such a horse… if they make him come out and retract i hope he does it with a tasty chicken sandwich in hand
thats my nicca son!
what is this China?? There’s no way that guy is 26
Pres still eats at German restaurants (Jacob Wirth’s) even though they use ovens.
@theking: I love how condescending hardcore atheists are.
sizzlin, that’s fire.
Have to agree Harry. Why do they always seem so angry! If I figured out something really important and only a small percentage of people had done the same I would keep that shit to myself and laugh at everyone else but atheists are like HEY, HEY YOU IDIOTS HAVE IT ALL WRONG, HAHAHA IDIOTS, NO REALLY, ADMIT THAT I’M RIGHT.
I’m an atheist and I hate in your face atheists…shut up you needy faggots, atheism is becoming as annoying as every religion, they all try and convert you to their side
We’re angry because the sheep won’t have a debate about religion, ever. The religious set the bar for “admit that I’m right”.
@jackofspades: Good point. I know there are normal atheists out there, but there’s an increasing number who have a chip on their shoulder about it and love to sue for bullshit reasons. 90% of religious people don’t care that you’re an atheist.
@eboe: Because most (i know not all) religious people aren’t fanatics. But Bill Maher et al are just as insufferable as the religious whackos they hate.
@theking you’re logic is comparable to that of a mentally handicapped 4 year old.
your*
How is my logic unsound? I simply stated a fact. If you follow Leviticus to be anti-gay, then you must also be pro-slavery. You can’t pick and choose if you’re going to follow the religion. And, if you do, don’t push your cafeteria christianity views on everyone else.
All atheists argue is that blind religious faith in outdated texts filled with non-sense is fine…until you push those views on others vis-a-vis taking away their rights. Unless you can prove your religion is true, it should not affect the rights of others.
And the reason outspoken atheists can’t shut up is because religious bigots will not shut up and push their non-sense on the rest of society (i.e. teaching “intelligent design,” treating gay people as second class citizens, not paying taxes despite often playing a major role in elections.)
For the record: I absolutely DO NOT agree with Menino. A private business owner can hold whatever views he likes. Chick-fil-a does not discriminate its customers or its employees, they do nothing illegal. That said, one should be able to boycott or voice their opinion about the owner’s views and choose not to eat there if they see it fit. Banning a restaurant outright would be insane and lead us down a very slippery slope.
theking, WTF. A devout Christian wouldn’t follow Old Testament. They would follow New Testament since that’s about the time that Christ showed up.
That being said, this guy deserves a medal.
Most of the shit jesus said is what the nutjobs ignore, because jesus was generally a chill and forgiving dude. Something most hardcore christians aren’t
“I’m an atheist and I hate in your face atheists…shut up you needy faggots, atheism is becoming as annoying as every religion, they all try and convert you to their side”, sounds like Steeler fans…
most people complaining about chick fil a have never had chick fil a
Terrorisitical, you can’t be a Christian and ignore the old testament. the new testament also condones slavery, never mind the simple fact that it’s all bullshit anyway so fuck the entire bible. Anyone saying Jesus was a forgiving dude is fucking retarded. Hey JC, someone just raped and murdered my family. What should I do?
JC: forgive them
Hey JC, what do you do to people who aren’t 100% sure about believing in you, do you forgive them?
JC: No,I permanently hold a grudge and condemn them to hell for all eternity. But you should forgive.
scottbaio, as someone who has never read the Bible, you have no right to speak. It’s like me talking about Fifty Shades of Grey. Retarded.
I’m not getting into a religious conversation with you but I think cfoggot’s got it covered.
Somewhat decent comment section minus initial comments from racist 12 year olds. On another note, how is the gay community expecting me to take them seriously when they take a “stand” by making out in a mall at a fried chicken restaurant. Way to pick a hill to die on. I guess its a lot easier to make out in front of a store, rather than protest something like Islam which literally advocates stoning homosexuals to death. I fully expect angry letters from Menino, and make out sessions, the next time a church, synagogue, or mosque is proposed to be built in Boston.
Chick-Fil-A….disgusting. KFC…disgusting. Popeye’s…disgusting. Why is it that we can put a man on the moon but no one can come up with a way to make decent fast-food fried chicken?
