Admitting you're gay warrents a call from the president?

[Seawytch]

Can you say-------discrimination suit against the NBA? This guy is near the end of his playing career. This is nothing but a set up for a discrimination suit when he gets cut.

"I could still play but they cut me because I am gay"

just wait, its coming.

He's a free agent. He was already "cut" before he came out.

He could only sue if the NFL has a non-discrimination policy and he could prove it was because he was gay. He wouldn't be able to.

If he doesn't get picked up it will be because he averaged more fouls than rebounds not because he's gay.

You are 100% correct that he could not prove that the NFL cut him because he is gay. You are also incredibly stupid for saying that.

NBA. My apologies for the typo. I was listening to a story about Chris Kluwe as I was typing.

Reading comprehension can be your friend. I'm a writer. I hardly need a lecture from a non-writer. Thank you. Moving on.

You are a poet, not a writer, and the lesson was not about writing, it was about thinking. Being a real writer I know the difference.

Pardon me? You don't know if I'm a poet or not, only but what I've told about myself. I am also a writer. And a musician. And a producer. And a songwriter. And a performance artist. And much more.

Yet you don't know how to think. Is that because you think artists do not have to think, or is it because you are really stupid?

Gotta have some fun somewhere.

In order to prove he was cut because he is gay he first has to prove that he can play.

 

[Seawytch]

But since I brought up the NFL (albeit accidentally), I wonder if that group of NFL players that were planning on coming out are pissed that Collins "scooped" them...

A 12 year career in the NBA ( ) proves he can play, but even he admits that he is nearing the end of his career and there was always a chance he wouldn't be picked up, open or closeted.

I think getting a call from the president would make it vital to stay IN the closet.

I think the NBA is going to take all the attention it can, they have been losing popularity for a long time.

We're still mad about this?

[boedicca]

And yours, as well...it was implied that I accepted your assertion, but made one of my own.

There is a difference between implying and inferring. You may have inferred, but you totally failed to imply.

Anyone can say he is a writer. Just because you can pound out random words on a keyboard doesn't mean you have any creative inspiration worthy of anyone's time and attention.

Just sayin'.

The only bigots in this thread are the people that think it is brave to come out in 2013.

You are aware it is 2013, aren't you?

What the hell does that mean?

In case you haven't noticed, gays are still getting bashed and gay teens are still getting bullied and killing themselves. You think the sports world is some all-inclusive gay friendly environment these days? Guess again.

Gays are killing themselves?

Newsflash, non gays are killing themselves also. In fact, more straight teens commit suicide than gay ones, are you worried about that, or are you a narrow minded bigot?

Sorry, were you saying something??

Those stats tend to make me think something is seriously wrong in the brain of gay teens. 30% of their population wants to die and you don't see a red flag here?

Indeed I do. And so do others:

Gay Teen Suicide Rates Higher In Conservative Areas

Reminded daily that gays are hated doesn't do much for a gay teen's self-esteem.

Two to six times more likely? Is that like saying that 6% of scientists are Republicans?

People commit suicide for lots of reasons. There was a suicide that made the news here recently because the young girl was raped, and the police are trying to ague that she was a victim of cyber bullying.

Life sucks, deal with it, or get help. People commit suicide for lots of reasons, none of which make sense to me. Unless you want to argue that being gay is a mental disorder I suggest you stop trying to convince me it is.

By the way, given the fact that there most estimates say that 10% of the population is gay, and the wildest claim you have is that gays are 6 times more likely to attempt suicide than straight teens, the numbers actually back me up. More straight teens commit suicide than gay ones.

Frankly, I think we should deal with whatever it is that is causing them to kill themselves instead of trying to prove one group is inherently crazier than another.

Until you post links and facts, your numbers back up shit.

We know what causes gay teens to kill themselves: daily reminding that they are hated by society.

Don't know about that but we sure like making fun of you.

Post links for what? The homosexual population estimates? The numbers you provided? The distance to mars?

What they fuck do you want me to post links for?

Society is an abstract concept invented to make it easier for anthropologists to confuse people who don't pay attention. Society cannot hate because society cannot have emotions.

Thinking doesn't seem to be a strong point with that one. It's pretty amazing that poIT feels able to make broad assumptions about everybody else, though.
