Former SF Giant Aubrey Huff tweets homophobic rant in response to Pride hat controversy

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — As the fallout from the San Francisco Giants’ Pride Night fiasco continues, former Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff has weighed in. Huff, who won two World Series with the Giants, took to social media a day after his former teammate Buster Posey refused to take questions on the matter from the media Tuesday.

“I can pretty much guarantee you I know exactly what Buster wants to say about having to answer irrelevant non-Baseball questions,” Huff’s tweet read in part — we are omitting parts of it because they are too offensive.

“You know how I know what he wants to say? Because it’s exactly what I, & most every single player, coach & front office executive who were part of the SF Giants World Series dynasty teams that brought the city 3 World Series titles in 5 years would say. And say confidently into the camera…,” he continued.

“‘I’m not wearing this gay bulls**t,'” he continued. “‘Queers don’t watch Baseball anyway. They watch The View, enjoy therapy,'” the tweet continued — again we are omitting some of the more offensive language.

That’s what Huff’s telling the Pride community. Don’t discount the sentiment because it’s coming from Huff —the poorly kept secret is out: Queer people aren’t wanted by the Giants, Buster Posey or MLB.

I hope the owners lose their shirts and the value of this franchise craters in September. Turn it into a Target Outlet.

With the Giants: 2011, batted .246. 2012, batted .192. Yeah that "dynasty" would've been nonexistent without you, superstar.

At least he admitted he was smacked on dope and booze during the time he played there*. That took some courage.


*From his wiki. Never actually heard of this chud until he started bootlicking for Trump.
