    I expected someone to call me out that that was WWE and not MMA, which is the "real shit."

    NASCAR? Does rubbin' is racin' have a double meaning?

    Has nobody asked him about why he was wearing No. 98 as he explains in the piece? Seems like reporters usually notice that sort of stuff if even to get just a quick blog item.

    Coming out in the NBA is a lot different than coming out in the WNBA.

    He's the NBA's Jackie Robinson, if Robinson was a mediocre utility infielder who was about to get cut.

    Remind me why this is considered acceptable again? It's only been repeated about 1,000 times in the past two weeks, so it's obviously OK. I'm just curious exactly which double standard applies here.

    Isn't it a little odd that this dropped less than an hour after Tebow got cut?

    Sort of the reverse of News Corp. announcing its split on the same day as the Obamacare decision at SCOTUS.

    Good for Jason. How about those pearly whites. That's one hell of a grill.

    You're either stupid or simple-minded. Tell me which so that I can address that person. I could care less if this guy is gay or if he's African-American. Are you trying to see if you can get this thread locked?
