Yes they'd be right too. I would encourage them to speak out to let me know what I said was offensive. I would then apologize and be more mindful of my language.
Silence is consent, if no one speaks out, we won't get anywhere and it all continues. We should be encouraging more athletes to speak about these issues. That's how you stand up to bullies - letting them know what they're saying/doing is wrong.
