Former USC player uses slur to call out despicable Notre Dame player

Why would you ever use this word?

USC stomped Notre Dame 45-27, but the game made headlines for a Fighting Irish player almost stomping on an injured USC player. ND defensive lineman Jerry Tillery was the main culprit for nudging the injured player on the ground and later stomped on someone's leg later in the drive.

That led to one former Trojan feeling big on Twitter and threatened to go after Tillery.

However, he went way too far with a terrible homophobic slur in this tweet:

There is just absolutely no need for that kind of language and that's some inexcusable behavior on its own. Obviously, USC can't really do anything about it, but perhaps sending out a tweet distancing itself from a former player might go a long way here.
