'Words matter, as do the messages they send, and the casual homophobia and misogyny of Turner’s taunts perpetuates the marginalization of both gays and women,' writes nrarmour for usatodaysports.

Turner claimed it was a sign of respect, that he was likening King’s importance to Oregon to that of the queen in chess. UC Irvine interim athletic director Paula Smith didn't return a phone call Monday from USA TODAY Sports. Oregon declined to comment Sunday night and again Monday, but King’s mother Ativea said Monday on Twitter that she and King’s father want Turner to publicly apologize to their son. Since Russel Turner decided it was ok to try and publicly humiliate my son by calling him queen although he doesn’t get fazed by it.

That Turner, at his age and with his life experiences, thinks this way is appalling. That he’s in a position, as the Anteaters’ head coach, to pass on his bigotry is unacceptable. But some players will hear Turner’s bigoted comments or pick up on his small-mindedness and think that that’s OK. That they're entitled to belittle and mistreat others.
