ESPN has standards? Since when?
Don’t drop the soap! If you do, don’t bend down to pick it up...
I never want to hear about Michael Sam again. I’m so freaking sick of this.
Give him the golden shower.
Who wants to be in a shower with some dude that has wood?
When I was going off to Ft Knox at the tender age of 19 I was warned...more than once...”don’t drop the soap”.Well,I never had the slightest problem with that issue and I never heard of anyone else having that problem.Michael Sams’s teammates might not be as lucky as we were many years ago.
“whose coming out last year was international news and inspired maybe eight thousand stories”
The fact that someone actually wrote that is a symptom of a deep illness.
Maybe they did but I bet they all had the backs to the shower head.
Horseapples! Would it be a story if 40 football players were showering with one of the teams female cheerleaders? You bet you butt it would. Same story but with a gay guy. He needs to be sanctioned and fined or suspended for showering where heterosexual players shower.
It is the heterosexual players right to privacy as much as it is a gay player’s right.
An ‘up close and personal’, human interest story because they know Barry logs a lot of hours watching ESPN and they figured it would be something he’d enjoy.
Therein lies the problem. There should be no LGBT related topics on ESPN. The topic should be sports. Period.
Bill Tilden, the great tennis champion from the 1920’s, is still the only great athlete known to be a homosexual at the time he played. Other players of the time said Tilden never showered with the other players after matches, and nobody ever saw him nude. Although, like other homosexual athletes of those times Tilden never outed himself, virtually everybody in the game knew of his sexual benhavior.
I’m sure the players got over the novelty really quick. Especially when you are busting your hump to make the squad.
