Fans, friends and fellow tolerancy experts. As I am sure you have all already heard, John Amaechi, former NBA player has come out and publicly said he is gay, becoming the first NBA player active or retired ever to have publicly admitted as such. Obviously, if this announcement were made in the middle of a WNBA game everyone would just say of course and go back to sleep as another spectacular layup is made by a fast charging player who kind of looks like a girl- or enough to qualify at least. Anyway but it was not- it was made by an NBA player in a sport that pretty much considers Kobe Bryant its hero. Anyway so, among the many unadmirable characteristics of NBA players that have made themselves clear during these last few days in response to Amaechis's revalations is the skill with which NBA players attack the English language. I give you- Shavlik Randolp, former Duke player now with the Sixers who said:
"As long as you don’t bring your gayness on me I’m fine. As far as business-wise, I’m sure I could play with him. But I think it would create a little awkwardness in the locker room"
There you have it. All you gays, keep yuor gayness away from Shevlik because if you don't he might unleash a torrent of words that will make you regret you were born.
