jogar84 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 http://www.mediatakeout.com/Exclusives/NJNet_Gay.html December 7. The NBA is about to be rocked by one of the biggest scandals in league history. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that a prominent member of the New Jersey Nets has admitted to his family that he's bisexual. In an exclusive interview, MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a friend of the family who claims the player "came out" during a recent trip home. According to our source, "when [the player] came out of the closet, everyone was shocked ... we would always see pictures of him with models. No one suspected that he was into men." And what's more shocking, tells our source, is that the NBA player has entered into a romantic relationship with one of his childhood friends. The tipster explains, "the two boys were friends since childhood ... when [the player] went to the NBA, he brought along [the friend] as a personal assistant." The tipster added, "I don't know how to feel, I love them both but something doesn't seem right about them being together like that." And the source tells MediaTakeOut.com that the NBA star's relationship with his former pal appears to be serious. The source explains, "[the player] could have kept it quiet and nobody would have suspected. He came out because he wanted us to accept his relationship." The source added, "those two have been friends for many years .. if their relationship is anything like their friendship, its got to be serious." The NBA player, who is African American, has been linked to a number of women in the past - all of whom are Caucasian. He is also known for enjoying the night life with his teammates and good friend Tyson Beckford. For legal reasons, MediaTakeOut.com has decided not to print the name of the player. Developing...

Guest JWClubbie Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 What is disturbing though is how homophobic Pro Sports are. Why is it an issue what a players chooses his or her sexuality to be? It is their life. I love how the media and public decide they can judge a person based on their sexuality. I personally am straight but feel equal rights are just for everyone. This is almost the same as the civil rights movement in sports, just a different topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jogar84 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 You guys have to realize how volatile the gay issue is within the African American community and ESPECIALLY in the NBA with the whole hip-hop culture which has been the most homophobic sub-culture. If this is indeed true, i hope it doesn't turn ugly. I actually think the fans will embrace whoever will come out, (if this source is correct, but probably not) but i think that some of the fellow NBA players will not be comfortable with this.

pistonj92 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Rodman is just attention-obssesed. If dressing in drag will get him in the headlines than drag it shall be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinghernandez Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I don't care what sexuality a player is if he can put up solid numbers. The question is will his teammates accept it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
