    ... Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace!!

    Just HOURS after NBA player Jason Collins announced he's gay, 26-year-old Wallace took right to Twitter to provide the first ignorant comment.

    “All these beautiful women in the world and guys wanna mess with other guys SMH (shakin' my head) …”

    30 minutes later, Wallace deleted his tweet and replaced it with a half-assed explanation:

    "Never said anything was right or wrong I just said I don't understand!! Deeply sorry for anyone that I offended."

    Fun Fact -- Dolphins are one of the few animals that engage in gay sex!

Even if they look different, who cares? I used to have anti-gay attitudes myself, but one of my good friends knows a gay person and my opinions changed after meeting him. He wasn't a weirdo, just a nice person I respect. I'm sure if you met a normal gay person, you would realize they are just like anyone else.
    i have no opinion on this issue, but this post is ridiculous.

    'i was anti gay until i met a really nice gay person --> he was friends with my good friend --> you shouldn't be anti gay'. give me a break. almost unbelievable.

    and again, i have no opinion on the issue. but to give you a response to something you said:

    the one difference is that a man and a woman can procreate another human being, which imo is basic human instinct at its core. all of the things, however absurd, the other person suggested cannot.

    Gay pride is a way of trying to combat negative inwards feelings among gays. If gays were accepted completely, pride parades wouldn't be necessary. It is similar to black pride in the sense that "who i am is nothing to be ashamed about, but something to celebrate." Not all gay people participate in parades or love will and grace. You should not associate all gay people with flamboyant pride parades. It isnt like there is a unified gay group which is a single entity. Blame the networks for having too many gay characters, not gay people.
    i see your point about the pride aspect, makes sense...I suppose when you are oppressed, celebrating can be an outlet for people to be comfortable with themselves...I guess I see it as such a non issue (i dont care if some people are gay) that I dont understand what gay people are subjected to emotionally...and I know gay people arent pushing the shows (which is why im suspicious as to why so many)

    How do you guys think ESPN and the rest of the media will react to the next player that comes out? I can't see this much attention, but I can't see it "sliding by" either.

    Nothing like ignorance.

    3% (3.8) of the population is gay. Get your facts straight.

    Post a winning play in this, a gambling forum, when you find the time genius.

    Thanks for the props

    Just joking around boss. But seriously the percentage is quite unknown . Lots of people hide it or repress it. 3% is the figure most have come up with but 3-9% is not completely off if you count the ones that haven't come out.

    Didn't mean to make it seem like I was anti-gay and then magically changed after I met a nice gay person. I didn't exactly hate gay people before, but didn't accept them completely either and had certain negative attitudes attributed towards them. I was an immature teenager and my attitudes have changed over the years. Meeting an actual person who was gay reaffirmed the notion that they are just another human, and it was part of a process not the only cause of my change of mind. I advocate accepting gay people for rational reasons. I shared my story to show that a straight person's attitudes can change towards others with different sexualities. I used to always say "I have no opinion" whenever a discussion about gays would come up.

    I understand your notion of sex between a man and a woman for procreation. Do you have views against premarital sex then or sex with contraceptives between a married man and a woman? Should women who become infertile never have sex? I come from a religious background and schooling and have heard from many different perspectives. There is also a notion of a healthy human being. Having sex for reasons other than procreation seems to be part of a normal human's well being. It is part of a normal healthy relationship, whether it be between 2 men or a man and a woman. For a gay person who wants to have an emotional, meaningful relationship, sex seems like a basic human instinct. If a man and a woman can have a loving relationship, why can't 2 men or 2 women? Should women stop having sex after menopause?

    Who the fuuck cares if someone is gay or not, let them do what they want with their lives.

    The only reason you gotta be worried is if you're hiding something yourself, but are too scared to admit it so you hate on others.

    he's such a coward...he comes out after he plays his LAST NBA game....what a loser....


    can you imagine being a teammate of his and wondering forever if he masturbated to a mental image of you naked in the shower.....

    I have the same nightmares about Russian ROcket...and he's never even seen me, period.

    the problem is these guys in pro sports are forced to take mandatory group showers.

    If there is a gay dude in the shower with a hard on looking at all the dudes asses and dongs its gonna cause some awkwardness.

    The only way to allow gay players in pro sports is to build individual shower stalls and that would be too expensive.

    It's sad and upsetting that many of the same people applauding Jason Collins for being the first openly gay player in mainstream American sports are the ones criticizing Tebow for openly displaying his faith.

    Liberals hate god, but love homosexuality.....Sodom and Gomorrah got destroyed for the same thing.

    Wow.

    Slatest PM: ESPN Analyst Uses Jason Collins' Announcement to Call Homosexuality a Sin

    Not Everyone Was So Kind: ESPN analyst Chris Broussard offered this clunker during a special edition of Outside the Lines: "Personally, I don’t believe that you can live an openly homosexual lifestyle or an openly, like premarital sex between heterosexuals. If you’re openly living that type of lifestyle, then the Bible says you know them by their fruits. It says that, you know, that’s a sin. If you’re openly living in unrepentant sin, whatever it may be, not just homosexuality, whatever it maybe, I believe that’s walking in open rebellion to God and to Jesus Christ. So I would not characterize that person as a Christian because I don’t think the bible would characterize them as a Christian."

    That is amazing, isn't it? All he is saying is that he is a Christian and the bible states it is wrong. He also guilted himself about it though in my eyes when he mentioned heterosexuals having pre-marital sex. His tone of voice at that point was like "Yeah, I fukked bitches when I wasn't married. "

    Bigger news if Collins scored 10 PTs in a game,,. Guy sucks.

    Atleast now has an excuse when he gets cut, "it's cause I'm gay."

    on the other hand if Broussard were a Muslim, and he spoke of how the Quran says to punish homosexuals by death....
