Matt Barkley: Twidiot of the Day

People with sports related head injuries should not use Twitter...

It only took three letters for USC quarterback Matt Barkley to bring an onslaught upon himself on Twitter after posting a comment about gay marriage on Feb. 23.

It wasn't the body of the message that was blasted, it was the three letters before the message that drew ire.

On Feb. 23, Barkley tweeted, "Smh.. “@YahooNews: Gov't says it won't defend constitutionality of law that bans recognition of same-sex marriage: http://yhoo.it/hUSDca”

Those three letters before, "S-M-H," stand for "shaking my head."

...On such a divisive topic, Barkley sure knows how to draw attention.

But was he wrong to voice his opinion?

I don't think so.

It wasn't like he was bashing the gay community or anything of the sort, he simply stated his opinion.

He may need to think about hiring a PR guy, but nothing he did was inherently wrong.

Whether you disagree with it or not, it was his opinion and he was only exhibiting freedom of speech, which, as far as I'm aware, is still protected by the Constitution.


Absolutely, and we're all within our rights to call the man an asshole as well.

Drumroll please....ready?

Matt Barkley, you're an asshole. Smh, how do people like you justify your stupidity?
