I love America but for the life of me I can't understand why such large parts of its population care so much what other people do with their private lives -- especially in a country that professes such love for individual liberty.

I still find it so hard to believe one American would look another in the eye and say, "You don't deserve the same rights as me because of your sexual orientation."

Thankfully attitudes are shifting.

Full disclosure -- we have our share of mouth-breathing fucktards up here who are blatantly homophobic. But the whole issue has never been a large part of a national policy debate to anywhere near the degree it seems to be in the States.

Cool. I don't think anyone will give a shit in about 2-3 weeks though.

Except the crazies who think it is somehow ruining their life.

The only reason this is a big deal is because the fucking South. Beat my kids, assault women, and socially accept racism, but no god dammit you two bros can't get married.

Less drawl, but not all that different in other ways.

[Tommy Eisen]

Good for him, I'm sure it took lots of guts.

I wonder if he's a bottom or top? I'm hoping for the sake of his partner a bottom, that's a big dude.

What? Not in my Midwest. I live in normal city though I guess with a lot of diversity.

You're the far eastern edge of the midwest dude and in a city.

Come out to where I grew up.

[Rampage]

I was going to say that it is pretty obvious that every woman in the WNBA is a lesbian, but nobody considers that to be a professional sports league.

Fucking this. Outside of Madison and Milwaukee, my whole state is redder than a pimple on Ann Coulter's ass.

It's really a shame that so many of my family and friends (and neighbors and acquaintances) are all just as bigoted, homophobic, and occasionally racist as anywhere not named Mississippi or Alabama.

Oh hai, you know what my life is like.

WNBA salaries start around $40k. Sure, it's "pro sports" but not close to the same level

And yea, good for him. I hope a team signs him...at least so we don't have to hear the inevitable shitstorm otherwise.

He's an "active" athlete, but isn't signed to a team. He could very easily be a retired athlete a few months from now (not necessarily due to this).

[The Hiryuu]

Jason Collins isn't exactly a must-have player...honestly, if he had any intention of continuing a career, this may have been shooting himself in the foot. Or it could be what lands him a gig.

Not to diminish what he's done, he's definitely brave and I respect the hell out of him for it.

Yes because the south has a history of being socially progressive...

Not saying you're a bigot, sexist, homophobe or whatever.
But geographically speaking history on such issues isn't exactly in the south's favor.

Discuth.

First openly gay individual in North American sports.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/b ... d/follows/

Discuss.

Only 32 years after Martina Navratilova?

>First openly gay individual in North American sports.

>First openly gay individual

>First openly gay

>First

Right, except only 5 north americans give a shit about tennis.

So, as far as the big 3 male sports go, yup, a first. And for whatever reason its a bigger deal when guys are gay than girls. I guess it makes the "manly men" dudes uncomfortable or some such shit. I dunno y.

And yes, as to Brittney Griener, nobody gives a fuck about women's pro basketball either. No one.

Is the title inaccurate? Strictly speaking yes, but again, as far as sports that large amounts of people care about this is a first.

should this matter??? if he's making a big deal out of this it's probably for publicity IMO.. be gay... suck a bag of dicks.... that's cool... but there's no need to run to the media about it...
