and can you imagine the OMG bs that'll come when a NFL player comes out of the closet ?

Good for him. Now that someone has been the first, I bet we'll see a lot more gay athletes willing to come out before too much longer.

I thought the whole Cowboys franchise came out years ago? As if it wasn't obvious.

First MMA now the NBA!?

Next thing you know they'll be wanting to vote!

Seriously though, I'm glad he feels comfortable enough to be himself.

+1 I have openly gay friends, there should be no reason for anyone to hide their true self, whether public figure or otherwise.

Marketing ploy.

They will subvertly encourage some Bob Costas to mock him so they can fight for him.

Yawn.

Live concert video, didn't watch all the way through, conceivably NSFW (and definitely noisy): The Punk Group; Tight End, Wide Receiver

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiives aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

What!?!?! There's a gay in the basketball? Do we have to gay marry him now?

I dinno, but now every time I see a round orange object, I suddenly crave the cock. Someone better stop him.

Nobody cares about black guys in baseball, but that first guy, that guy was important.
That is to say, color was once important to a lot of people, now it's not so much. Sexuality will be that way soon, it is for a lot of us now.

seriously.. it's a slippery slope... the last thing we need is for our kids to look up to a gay man that feels comfortable in his own skin and plays by the rules...

I maintain my position of "who gives a berkeley about anything basketball related?"

In reply to Grizz:

Anymore, I don't give a berkeley about any sport besides motorsports.

Soccer already came out that it is totally gay:

In reply to Racer1ab:

Hockey and Motorsports here

I know. I'd totally rather have my kid look up to a macho he-man bigot type that is too much of a puss to admit he wants a little dong in his life, than a man that speaks his mind at all times and isn't afraid to step outside the norm for himself, and blaze a trail for others. I mean what is this- progress?

Hockey isn't a sport. Its a religion.

That explains so much about why it doesn't make sense and requires one to suspend logic and reasoning to partake in it.

clean locker rooms, delicious choices in vending paired with the appropriate wine and cocaine available in every bathroom stall.

If you have to have a stereotype... that one is pretty damn good right up until the cock part.
