Lincoln, NE - Rec league soccer player Davis Williams stated that he was concerned that societal changes are forcing him to not call opponents homophobic slurs during games as he stated, “Look, I’m for free speech,” in a Facebook comment.

According to a number of comments repeatedly made to Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, Williams put forth his opinion that he isn’t a bigot, but that he thinks that he should be able to call a player literally every horrible slur possible during a game.

“I don’t hate,” stated Williams, "but I do think that belittling someone about their sexuality or race during a game is fair play. After all, what is sports but a vehicle for pure unadulterated hatred of someone’s sexuality or race to the point where they are unable to play a pass so that my team can win.”

Friends state that Williams is frequently verbally abusive during games as one time he abused a player on the field that he thought was gay until that player started weeping and walked off the field.

“But you know, after he spent 70 minutes or so calling him a bunch of horrible slurs he went over and said no hard feelings. So I’m sure everything is totally fine,” stated friend Will Sanders.

For his part, Williams said, “I have a gay friend,” as he defended his frequent use of these slurs. “And he’s totally fine with all of this stuff, I’m sure.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as it turns out that Williams also likes to use slurs online and then tell people, “lighten up, it’s just a joke.”
