Bijan Robinson on the game we all played as a kid

Then he tweeted out an apology later. Sad.

It's 2025. You don't have to apologize to 1% of the population anymore.

What is queer? Thought the LGBT had it covered. How many "queers" we out here saving from annihilation?

If anybody here didnt play that game with their cousins, brothers, and uncles with a full stomach after Thanksgiving dinner while growing up then they're wrong.

That's where everyone was their best at being Reggie Bush.

Dumb that he’s having to apologize to people who don’t even know what the game is.

“Queer” means strange or odd. In “smear the queer,” the guy with the ball is the odd one - the only person with a ball, and the goal is to knock the shite out of him and get the ball to become the next “queer” & see how long you can last.

Thus, “smear the queer.”

Stop apologizing to retards.

There was always the one kid no one liked and instead of throwing the ball in the air you’d just toss it to them and they’d get gang tackled and then quit playing. They call it bullying today. It was killing two birds with one stone in the early 90s.

Terms like fig, retard and queerbait need to become commonplace in American speech again.

In my neighborhood we called it TTMWTB (tackle the man with the ball), and we'd absolutely level the shite out of each other. We played in this guy's yard that never stayed at his house as he was in Florida 90% of the year. Absolutely wrecked that yard/grass. Not that we were against 'smear the queer', but not sure why we called it what we did.

I'm nearly 38 for reference.

when i was in grade school back in the 90s, we had a substitute teacher that was about 80 years old. She called all the strange kids queer, right to their faces.

It was a pretty common and perfectly acceptable word to use to describe something weird until the gay community adopted a word that meant strange as their sexual identity.
