Barkley, Collins, Broussard, Gays and the NBA

[Praxeas]

So..I love NBA Basketball and I was watching as the News "broke" regarding a basketball player admitting publicly he is gay.

I didn't have the same fascination as others. My first thoughts were "so?"...I mean what's the big deal? Haven't we always assumed the NBA has gay players? We also know there are adulterers, drug users and hey they've and some nuts who run into the stands and beat up fans.

My second thought was...yeah? Why does it need to be "exposed"? Do heterosexuals come out and let everyone know they are straight? Of course not so yes I do see this as part of the "agenda" to normalize an aberration. No I did not need to know nor did I care..

Collins came out as a 34 year old gay center...he is also not that great a player and probably won't see many more NBA days, unless some team wants an openly gay man as a novelty or political statement but the fact is he is old and not that good. 34 for most is getting near the end of their career.

Barkley. I respect this man despite our differences politically or religiously but he came out in support of this man and other gays as well as gay marriage but also came out in support of people like me who don't agree with the gay lifestyle.

that leads me to Broussard..another ESPN commentator who flat out on the air confessed he is a Christian and not only disagrees with the gay lifestyle and gay marriage but also addressed how other NBA stars engage in adultery. Well ESPN is sort of backpeddling now to distance itself from Broussard but they can't backpeddle from what Barkley (another ESPN personality) said. He specifically defended Broussard's rights to disagree.

How come it can't be like that across the board? Thumbs up to Broussard and Barkley.
