Elton John Sucks at Soccer?
14 years ago

Last week the photo below was posted on TFM in the Photo section. Apparently, a fraternity thought it would be funny to display a banner stating that “Obama is a GDI” during a campus visit from our Commander in Chief. I have to agree, it is pretty funny.

Today, a photo surfaced of a response from some GDI who didn’t find the banner as hilarious as I did.

Distasteful? How so? The members of the fraternity that made this sign were simply stating a fact: “Obama is a GDI.” That isn’t an opinion. Obama isn’t a fraternity man therefore he is a GDI. Nobody said anything about prerequisites for being the leader of the free world. I can only assume the sign they will create to greet Elton John will read: “Elton John is gay.” Again, this would be stating a matter of fact. If you said, “Mr. John what is your sexual orientation?” he would respond, “Elton John is gay.” Everyone knows Elton John is gay and only refers to himself in the third person. Furthermore, everyone knows it is tradition for all fraternities across the country to display banners with random, nonbiased facts about campus visitors to help inform the general public. We are just trying to educate America.

Thank you so much for spreading awareness that Obama doesn’t receive financial compensation for being a “bro.” Nobody is paid to be “bro,” because that doesn’t mean anything. There is no distinct characteristic that makes someone “bro.” I don’t care who you are, nobody is going to pay you for being an average American male and possessing the ability to “chill.”

In closing, Elton John is the gay Pelé.

UPDATE: New photo posted on TFM: Elton Sucks at Soccer

    According to the letter, fraternity men aren’t entitled to opinions because of a crisis in Egypt? This geed needs to go back to his hacky sack game and leave politics to real men

      I truly wish they will put a sign up that reads: “Elton John is gay” when he goes to entertain them on their campus.

    “If you said, ‘Mr. John what is your sexual orientation?’ he would respond, ‘Elton John is gay.’ Everyone knows Elton John is gay and only refers to himself in the third person.”

    Hahahahaha thank you.

    It’s funny because being in a fraternity is pretty close to a requirement.

      regardless of his sexuality, everything you said about him can also be said of a hundred other famous entertainers, with the exception of his title, which is British. Not being American = NF

      Elton John is a Frat Star, and how many times has Tiny Dancer gotten some slampieces wet? I think we all owe Elton at least one slampiece in our past.

      I support you fratmobile. Just think of crocodile rock… He may be gay but his music is an icon to our culture. Grow up
