View original posthis career in the NBA was essentially over (appeared in 9 games this season), he'd be extremely lucky to hang on another year or so, but was probably going to be gone after the draft, if not before. The only amazing thing about him is that he stayed in the league this long. He has a career average of less than 4 points per game & 3 rebounds.


View original postNow, instead of getting cut (how much you want to bet that if they cut him this off season there will be a lawsuit?) and fading away into sports trivia he will go on to have a well paying career as a speaker (if he can string 3 intelligible sentences together) and figurehead for everything gay. It is silly.

But he sounds fairly intelligent - not just not stupid. Whether he did it for money or just because he actually, you know, doesn't like having to hide such a fundamental thing, if he doesn't act like an ass about it, I'm willing to be proud of (and happy for) him.

I agree with Paul/Legolas below. It is important.

Still, he seems like a better role model for gay kids than the girly sex maniacs the media loves *NM* kHz1000 - 01/05/2013 12:48:31 PM 192 Views
Yeah because gay people are not discriminated against and never receive hate thrown their way *NM* Nighthawk - 01/05/2013 01:07:20 PM 177 Views

Right. I bet you think black people aren't discriminated against either, huh? Nighthawk - 03/05/2013 06:45:58 PM 434 Views
It's Christians who are discriminated against. Obviously. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/05/2013 11:16:36 AM 150 Views

Legolas' post didn't make sense to Cannoli either.....re-reading it won't help. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 03/05/2013 06:56:41 PM 165 Views
"We" being those who care in the least about gay rights in the first place, that is. Legolas - 03/05/2013 09:03:45 PM 370 Views
Eh, hasn't the topic been in the news recently? beetnemesis - 02/05/2013 03:05:29 PM 442 Views
