“and is expected to be signed and dress for tonight’s game against the Lakers.”

Is there any proof he is gay? He was engaged to a woman for 8 or 9 years and I never heard any conflicting evidence. He wouldn’t pretend to be gay for $3 million?

As long as he doesn’t dribble too much.

I’m convinced that the absolute worst nightmare of homosexuals is to wake up one day, and nobody cares about them being homosexual.

If they aren’t special, or a victim, they wouldn’t have much reason to exist.

I guess if that came close to actually happening, they’d have to up the ante, and demand to have sex on your dinner table while you and your family are eating. If you didn’t like it, you’d be “homophobic”.

I can’t imagine anyone pretending to be gay for even $3 million as pretending to be gay even for millions of dollars is a sin.

What will happen when he is placed into the lineup in a game and the children watching the game on TV and especially in the arena will be told that a player on the court is gay?

Maybe, just maybe, thousands of fans will walk out of the arena and perhaps millions watching at home will change the channel.

Keep in mind that the Nets and the NBA elected to interject this gay player on the very same day that the Olympics ends and the sports focus returns to the NBA.

This was all by design to make the biggest splash and have the most impact for the purveyors of the homosexual agenda.

All according to plan. Being “gay” is the key to success in this century.

The Michael Sam presser was all over the news yesterday and today. Lots of questions about the locker room, etc.

Once upon a time, men would not want to pretend to be gay, but I bet these days, it's not the same. Everyone is told gays are better than straight men. When he walks out there, kids will be told he is a hero.

Remember, the major corporation of our country want to push the gay agenda.

That’s not true.

The pro family Christians do care.

They care that their culture and pastimes are being destroyed and they cannot do a simply thing like watch an NBA game on TV without their children asking why a gay man in playing in the game and knowing that even if they try, it will be hard to protect their kids from the gays encroachment into the American society.

The gay Missouri guy was here for the NFL combine.
So he has this big press conference with 60 reporters and says “I wish people would just treat me like any other football player”

WTF?? Why not just keep your mouth shut in the first place.
