RE: Hockey is far more exciting.

Yes, they’re expecting an announcement from that sport too...

"Where I live (Topeka, KS), a law was passed which prevents an employer from firing an employee because he/she is gay."

A few years ago our company had a layoff. One of the employees let go was absolutely horrid at her job. Rude, obnoxious, would hang up on customers, even all her co-workers pretty much despised her.

Oh, and she was a "person of color".

She filed for wrongful termination and bragged about the $25K the company quickly gave her to not file suit.

"Cant fire because of..." means "Can't fire without paying out!"

Sid Crosby? He was at a Justin Bieber concert during the lockout.

" Former players like Tim Hardaway, who said “I hate gay people” (and then became a supporter of gay rights), fuel homophobia. Tim is an adult. He’s entitled to his opinion. God bless America. Still, if I’m up against an intolerant player, I’ll set a pretty hard pick on him. And then move on."

In other words, people like Tim have a right to their own opinion and the right to free speech, but unless they join in the celebration of men being fixated on each others' filthy anal areas, they'll be demonized, labeled, and attacked.

God bless America? Once upon a time, maybe.

Apparently Tori Hunter was OK when he said he didn’t want gays in the locker room because it was the off season and people had time to forget.

“Middling”? This guy is one of those roster fillers who has averaged less than 2 points and 2 rebounds per game over the past 8 seasons. He gets hired to take a minimum salary and play a few minutes per game to give the stars a breather, while freeing up salary cap space. He’s a free agent and had little hope of landing another job next season. But now he’s made himself poster boy of the progressives and a number of teams will be scrambling to have him sit on their bench as souvenir, proving that the whole “gay” rights movement is more about gaining special privileges for the mediocre than about equality. This ain’t exactly a Jackie Robinson moment for the NBA.

this ends the NBA.

The only people in the stands will be a few homsexuals.

Next the NBA will merge with the WNBA because they will not be able to field two teams otherwise.

Is there a reason I should care? As long as he doesn’t marry his lover in a halftime ceremony I really don’t care.

Actually this is a great way to destroy football. At halftime of the Super Bowl have a massive wedding for gay athletes.
