All the more reason to not support the NBA.

God save us all from the humorless.

The NBA taking a wide stance on this issue..........

“But in retrospect, it wasn't really funny,” Jackson said before the Lakers played Houston on Wednesday night. “When you take it out of context, it wasn't funny. It was a poor attempt at humor and I deserved to be reprimanded by the NBA.”

Yes it was.

Still, Jackson couldn't resist making another joke as he apologized. “If I've offended any horses, Texans, cowboys or gays, I apologize,” Jackson said.

Proof that Jackson didn't mean his first statement.

Funny as hell.

If one WANTS to be offended, one will find a way to be offended.

I’m ready to Pass On for my Belief,,are you ready to die for yours..

[Jeff Chandler]

[packrat35]

I weep for our country.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I think it was pretty funny.

America grows more Orwellian by the day.

[CAluvdubya]

It made me laugh and I don’t even like Phil Jackson!

[lesser_satan]

LOL, that was funny. The hell with those politically correct humorless douchebags who have a problem with it.

[Reagan79]

NBA is so bad I doubt even the gays watch it. Nobody to really offend.

[canuck_conservative]

“brokebacklash”

LOL

Good keywording!

Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) president Neil G. Giuliano issued a statement saying: “Phil Jackson's been coaching long enough that he should be able to talk about the Lakers' performance without resorting to cheap gay jokes.”

And here I thought he was reprimanded for calling his players homosexual.

“If I've offended any horses, Texans, cowboys or gays, I apologize,” Jackson said.

Now that's funny

[bpjam]

I’m glad he apologized to the horses.

If anybody saw Jackson on ESPN giving his ‘apology’, you could tell that he was even more condescending to the media and the GLAAD group for having to forced to even comment on this. There was no actual apology and he has the money to just pay the fines and not give up his dignity.

“But in retrospect, it wasn't really funny,” Jackson said...

Wha...? It's funny now. Jeesh. The NBA has a Team Owner that produced a film that will create more terrorists to kill American soldiers and civilians AND they reprimand a 'Brokeback Mountain' joke? Political Correctness is a suicide pact and I'm not signing up.
