gay and sporty

"Uh, Earth to Sheryl -- it irritates the gay guys in football, baseball and the NBA a helluva lot more than you not to hear all of this talk about the gay guys playing."
--some NCAA administrator, gay but closeted


the Sheryl Swoopes coming out thing is great. but, even better, the reaction in men's sports has been awesome. one of these days a dude sports player's gonna come out and it's gonna be hilarious. (not, of course, for the dude, but for the embarrassing reaction of teammates and shit.)

btw, i loves swoopes because i remember her dropping like 45 on ohio state or something in the ncaa finals back in like '95 as a texas longhorn. i always hated jordan, so i took great pride in her being the *jordan of women' s basketball*.

woman can hoop.

"If I'm gonna have sex - and I am because I'm young and rich and famous and talented and handsome so it's a law - I'd rather do it with a guy, but, when all is said and done, Kippy? I'd rather just play ball"

from Take Me Out by Richard Greenberg

one of the best plays I've seen on Broadway. It's about a major league team all star coming out of the closet and the reprocussions throughout the team and sport.
