Sexism and homophobia at a high school football game?

Last night, ESPN televised the game between two Alabama high schools, Daphne and Spanish Fort. The Spanish Fort students displayed two banners of pretty bad taste, picking on the name "Daphne."

"Daphne: isn't that a girls name?"

"(Daphne?) Man, that's GAY."

I'm assuming the first part of the second sign reads "Daphne," but no matter. the part that counts is clearly visible.

Alright, it's Alabama; and alright, they're kids. But that doesn't shield them from well deserved criticism.

Screencaps taken from 30FPS (here and here) who first "reported" on this. Quite ironically, AL.com had just run a story on how much Daphne and Spanish Fort respect each other. That may well be the case, but if so, then they also agree in jointly disrespecting women and homosexuals.
