Deadspin
Apparently, at an Arizona State basketball game the other night, everyone was supposed to wear gold, or something. Sun Devils quarterback Rudy Carpenter, for whatever reasons, decided to wear a pink shirt. Interesting choice, but hey: To each his own. But, according to several witnesses popping up all over the place online, what happened next was the real problem.
Apparently, Carpenter, according to the online witnesses (that's the only place people are speaking up), took a bit of an issue with someone mocking his shirt and lost his mind.
Rudy was sitting outside the stadium after the game and one of the students asked him why he wasn't wearing gold. He then started yelling back at him "oh yeah what sport do you play? what sport do you play?" and ended up running down the ramp and chasing after the kid trying to start a fight with him. Rudy continued to challenge him to a fight and repeatedly called him a homosexual.
Again, just some random Internet people, but there are a lot of them, and the stories are popping up all over the place. We are wondering if he really kept calling the guy a "homosexual;" that's a lot of syllables to pronounce when you're really pissed off like that.

Pink! I'm not popular enough to be different!
Dude, you're the one wearing the pink shirt.
He wasn't saying he was a homosexual, he was saying Boo-urns.

How dare you assume such ridiculousness, you pretentious applejohn!
I told Sam Keller he shouldn't go to the game. But did he listen? No.
Rudy would have caught him had his popped collar not increased his drag coefficient.
That wrist is limp something fierce.
I think Ozzie knows.
Carpenter, out.
You're at home, your sectional!
This coming from a guy who learned his throwing motion from Jeff Garcia.
Rudy...ended up running like a girl down the ramp and chasing after the kid...
*Fixed.
He must have washed his shirt with all his soiled tampons and panty liners.
At least they didn't comment on his pink donut.

So then he DIDN'T call the guy a "colon-corking sodomite?" My sources will pay dearly for this misinformation!
[sobbing] LEAVE RUDY ALONE! [/sobbing]
Where the hell do they get these pictures? So brilliant.
Chicks dig the pink shirt.
Tim Hardaway approves.
If it looks like a Duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it might be wearing a pink shirt and projecting his inner fears onto people asking why he isn't wearing gold.
@The Gizmo from Pismo: Well, they find them "non-threatening"...
Wait, I already saw this episode. He meets Michael Jackson in a sanitarium.
It's been cold in AZ recently...so it's feasible that he was also wearing a North Face jacket. Not to mention a black undershirt.
Everyone knows that, if you wear a pink shirt, you must be insane.
That's what happens when you go to a school who's mascot looks like Ron Jeremy:

That's ridiculous how playing a sport gives you clearance to not wear your school's colors. Smarten up, Carpenter.
Maybe he was trying to raise breast cancer awareness?
@Weed Against Speed: Thanks for that mental image.
The captain of the ASU Men's Volleyball team, Jeffrey Interiordesigner, never has a problem when he wears pink shirts.
His pink shirt is pretty tame compared to his ball gown.
Yet another awkward situation that could have been avoided with a simple /nohomo tag.
Clearly the only valid defense of one's own effeminate fashion choices is to ask those that mock you "OH YEAH?!?! What sport do you play?!?!"
Real men don't wear pink, they bang it.
@Weed Against Speed: +1...maybe even +2
The pink shirt: marking men as taken since 1957.
My wife got me a pink shirt for my birthday. Do you think she's trying to tell me something?
@Weed Against Speed: He's heating up...
Thank God Esera Tuaolo and John Amaechi were able to calm him down before the police arrived.
Ten bucks sez the Pats draft him.
Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!
This is the guy that movie was about, right?
Right now, I'm ensconced in velvet. What are you going to do about?
I find Rudy Carpenter's comments brilliantly illuminating and life-changing. Where can I click his plussy?
Carpenter is apparently getting hit in the ribs by an invisible defensive end.
That or he just likes his elbow in his rib cage.
@Tuffy: +1
@LeNoceur: See above.
Come on. You know where you got that shirt. And it wasn't in the men's section.
@The Sports Hernia:
I think he had a stroke and has no control of his left-side. Show some sensitivity, dude.
just call Rudy, Lamar, but the nerds haven't made a football specially made for his limp-wristed throwing style.
@Tuffy: At first I thought your comment read "click his pussy".
Does anyone know a straight man named Rudy?
@Tuffy: Rudy thinks your desire to click his plussy is homosexual
Richard Gasquet: (frantically changing)
ASU football's come a long way. Three years ago they were shooting each other. Now they just wear pink shirts and call each other "homosexuals."
It wasn't the pink shirt they were making fun of, it was the sequins.
Pink is very in. Just ask all those homos Rudy Carpenter has sex with.
It takes a big man to wear a pink shirt. I am not a big man.
You know how I know you're gay? You wear a pink shirt to a basketball game.
One day, a weathered, middle aged Rudy Carpenter will open up the closet door in his trailer, see his pink shirt hanging there - and he will weep for what might have been if only he had had the courage to make it so.
@Goulet:
9/11!
maybe the kid responded to carpenter's question with "I play hockey for the rhode island school of design nads."
You see people, you see what happens when you don't wear black t-shirts?
@stealofthedraft:
lithper
@Crookednose: Big like Vito Spatafore?
He's not gay, he just can't figure out why all those homosexuals keep sucking his cock.

@Crookednose:
Rudy Carpenter is a big man, and he needs a big cereal.
