Who do YOU think it is?


My money's on Dwayne Schintzius, who played for a shitload of teams in the 90's. Everytime I saw him I'd always think "What a Fag!" and just maybe I was right.




or maybe

2/7/2007 12:11:12 PM

Way to be politically correct, Saddamizer. [/sarcasm]

Still, the person who came out is John Amechi, former center for the Jazz and the Magic.

Amaechi will be first publicly gay NBA player
Associated Press
Posted: 1 hour ago

John Amaechi is gay, and now the first player in the National Basketball Association to disclose his homosexuality publicly is ready to talk about it.

Amaechi, a British center who played five seasons with four different U.S. teams and helped England to the bronze medal at last year's Commonwealth Games, is scheduled to appear Sunday on ESPN's Outside the Lines. His autobiography "Man in the Middle," will be released Feb. 14.

"He is coming out of the closet as a gay man," Amaechi's publicist Howard Bragman said Wednesday.

Three years after his playing career ended, Amaechi has become the sixth professional male athlete from one of the four major American sports leagues (NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL) to publicly discuss his homosexuality.

Former NFL running back David Kopay publicly declared his homosexuality in 1977; offensive lineman Roy Simmons and defensive lineman Esera Tuaolo did so more recently. Glenn Burke, an outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Oakland A's in the 1970s, and Billy Bean, a utility player in the 1980s and 1990s, also have made public declarations.

In his book, Amaechi describes being gay in a league where it is assumed that all players are heterosexual. He writes that while playing in Utah, coach Jerry Sloan used anti-gay innuendo to describe him.

Sloan said Wednesday that although his relationship with Amaechi was "shaky" because of the player's attitude, he didn't know Amaechi was gay. Sloan had no comment about Amaechi's contention in the book that Sloan used anti-gay innuendo when referring to him. Amaechi said he found out about it in e-mails from friends in the Jazz front office.

When asked if knowing Amaechi was gay would have mattered, Sloan said: "Oh yeah, it would have probably mattered. I don't know exactly, but I always have peoples' feelings at heart. People do what they want to do. I don't have a problem with that."

Amaechi, 36, played 301 NBA games over five seasons. The 6-foot-10 center averaged 6.2 points and 2.6 rebounds.

After playing college ball at Penn State University, he began his NBA career with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1995-96, then played with five teams over three seasons in Europe (Cholet and Limoges in France, Kinder Bologna in Italy, Greece's Panathinaikos and England's Sheffield Sharks.)

He rejoined the NBA to play for the Orlando Magic from 1999-01, then played two seasons for the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz traded him to Houston, which traded him to the New York Knicks. When the Knicks waived him in January 2004, he retired. He came out of retirement to play for England in last year's Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia.

its more fun to act like you dont know and speculate who it might be

how bout Luc Longley? He might be gay with this guy.



Matter of fact, i think the fat guy is grabbing Luc's cock in this picture.

2/7/2007 5:00:16 PM

"LONGley aint just a name!"

2/7/2007 5:04:16 PM

john amaechi was a non-factor then, and is a non-factor now looking to become a factor

2/7/2007 5:05:32 PM

BTTT

Anyone else just hear Tim Hardaway's comments?

Wow. Someone find a youtube of this. "I hate gay people, I don't like it"

2/14/2007 11:12:06 PM

Faggot

cock-looker

2/14/2007 11:13:26 PM

hahaha

radio host called him a bigot and he still said that stuff

2/14/2007 11:13:50 PM

"You know your comments are homophobic right?"

"Yeah well I hate gay people, I don't try to hide that."

2/14/2007 11:14:10 PM

hah good job, he can have an opinion, just because hes not a faggot like yall doesnt mean he has to hide it for the sake of some pillowbiting tambourine players

2/14/2007 11:15:27 PM

^^The media hit a goldmine -- ask athletes how they feel about gays. I'm sure none of them have the training to comment on social issues with delicacy.

2/14/2007 11:15:29 PM

or maybe he dont want to be delicate

2/14/2007 11:16:10 PM

yeah he was trying to be delicate about it and still be honest, until he was called a homophobe

2/14/2007 11:17:51 PM

I made a new thread because it's cool :x i'm looking for the link

2/14/2007 11:18:31 PM

I'm sure the front office and the NBA love bad press.

2/14/2007 11:18:44 PM

I actually salute Tim for being honest.

I mean would you guys want to be in the same locker room as a fag taking a shower?

Imagine taking a shower with Hansbrough in there with you naked.

2/14/2007 11:19:26 PM

He'd be able to grab your junk 4 times without being called for a foul

2/14/2007 11:20:19 PM

tyler would rape you with his gigantic fish eyes

2/14/2007 11:22:00 PM

2/14/2007 11:22:11 PM

2/14/2007 11:23:12 PM

That shit from Hardaway sounded like a joke but he forgot the punch line. I still laughed.

obviously you're so amazingly attractive that gay men salivate at the chance to grope you in the shower. they are slaves to their savage lust.


that's just the way it is
