FULL TITLE: Basketball star Brittney Griner comes out as a lesbian and reveals how she was 'picked on for being different'

Brittney Griner, the number one pick in the WNBA draft on Monday, yesterday acknowledged that she is gay and talked about being bullied while growing up.

The 6-foot-8 basketball star, selected by the Phoenix Mercury after an astounding four-career at Baylor, openly discussed her sexuality with Sports Illustrated. When asked about why more female athletes were out as opposed to men, Griner replied: 'I really couldn't give an answer on why that's so different. Being one that's out, it's just being who you are.'

Isn't this the excuse what a friend said about the Sandyhook shooter gave ? because he was " picked on " that he was bullied for years. ?
And now ? the 2 Boston Terrorist say that they could not find friends.

Whatever it takes to oppose, criminalize, marginalize, and punish Christian beliefs, that’s what the “next big thing” will be.

Does she count as one of the pro athletes who are expected to out themselves in the near future, or are those just NFL players?

And some people still think the L in LPGA stands for ladies.

I read recently that Sheryl Swoopes ditched her lesbian lover and is now engaged to a man.

Next we’ll hear women golf pros swing both ways.

But at the end of the day,
Whatever the size of the balls you shun,
You take your licking
And then you’ll be a man, my son! (Daughter?)

Yeah, because there are so many men looking for women to date, who are 6 foot 8, right?

Wait till NASCAR burns out on black pandering...

“Today on pit row we say Junior Bifflesweed do a fabulous makeover on his all aluminum small block Chevy!
“Well Jim, I thought it was simply too vanilla you know? So I added a couple points of compression and now I just feel those good vibrations all over! Oh and of course I have to tell you about my work with oppressed gay kids. You know Jim, I was bullied a lot when I came to NASCAR but since President Obama outlawed hetrosexual bigots, I feel FABULOUS!!!:

At first read of the title, I thought she was being ridiculed for being a lezbo in the WNBA which I always thought was an entrance requirement.

Oh, she was picked on as a kid growing up. Get in line chikie (OK, maybe that doesn’t apply to this particular person) but name one person in the history of history, who wasn’t picked on as a kid. Some even had the extra benefit from having an alcoholic father who liked to beat their kids up (I’m not talking about me, I’ve never seen my father hammered at anytime in his life), so guess what, we’re all in the same boat so get over it, join the WNBA or write a book which Oprah will fall all over her big self to promote it.

She could be another Maya Angelou, in other words, she sucks but since she’s black, lets give her a book (or what she might call poetry, we normal readers just think it’s a jumble of words strung together and you either get it or you don’t, I don’t). I know why the caged Gerbil screams.

But above all please shut up. I’ve had things happen to me which would make her ‘story’ too treacly for Lassie.
