    That's it. Every major paper in the country now must hire a gay sportswriter for the sake of newsroom diversity. So I'll be the first to come out of the closet. I'm available. Don't let the wife and the lousy wardrobe fool you. For the right price, I'll be your new gay sportswriter. Let the bidding begin.

    I believe 80% of sports writers are Gay.........or Gay men Married.........or pedophiles.

    Scoop doesn't have to master the shift key, dammit! He's a journalism God! He's knows what evil lies in allegedly straight men's hearts.

    I'll tell you what I hope it's not: taco cheese and tuna.
     
  6. I no longer believe sportsbruh is Scoop. It's just someone playing a joke. If ESPN found out the shit Scoop posted here, he'd be out of a job pretty quickly.

    I followed a gay SE at one stop. The first six months, male coaches were quick to talk about their wives. My reply was, my wife comes to some events with me. I couldn't figure out why they keep telling me this, until one day I was running out of room on my Mac and had to delete some files. I went into the old SE's files and found thousands of photos of gay sex. Also, I found songs on the Mac without titles. They turned out to be about gay sex. I soon figured out why the coaches had acted the way they did. I have since had one coaches wife ask me if I had heard about the former SE. I asked what she meant and she told me rumors flew around the entire time he was at the paper about him being as she put it, "He played for a different league."
    I have worked with a gay female reporter, who told me that she would never come out. Maybe because of the way people reacted to the SE I talked about. She has worked in four states, at eight different papers and said she had to move on from time to time when she became worried she might be outed to the people on the beat she covered. She's a good reporter, won many awards. I have no problem working with her. We cut up all the time, and she's ask me to keep her orientation a secret and I'm willing to do so.

    This is just my simple view, but here it is anyway: if he/she can do the job well and doesn't make any unwarranted moves, who cares? Oh, you're gay? Good for you. What happened at the game?

    On another note, someone mentioned Granderson. Did you mean Curtis Granderson of the Tigers?

    Curtis Granderson is not gay. ESPN writer LZ Granderson is appearently gay. Not that it matters.

    One thing I don't get: Folks like Yawn and the rest of his Christofacist brethren always want to posit the whole "Wouldn't it bother you if you knew another guy was checking you out?" question.

    Um, no, it wouldn't.

    What the hell is the difference between a person of the same sex checking me out and a person of a different sex checking me out? More often than not, it's not like that sort of thing gets expressed anyway. That's the hilarious thing about all this...gay-bashers love to characterize homosexual men as femmy little sissies right up until they pull the "checking you out" line. Basically, they're implying these feminine men will see a man they find attractive and wrestle him down to the ground and shove their cocks in his face on-sight...a pretty primitive, masculine act.

    Besides...am I weird for thinking such a thing would be a compliment? Hey, I'm comfortable enough with myself...if a guy tells me he finds me attractive, I'm not going to yell for the authorities or anything. I'd be more like "Man, thanks."
