		<description>Dave. Don&#039;t be a maroon. 

First, argue what&#039;s being argued. We&#039;re not discussing a Christmas song. We&#039;re discussing a football uniform. 

Second, it&#039;s not &quot;looking&quot; for controversy when problematic actions are undertaken and are identified by third parties. 

Back to your cave, man.</description>

		<description>They could probably repeat the PSA to great effect. NBA Finals is good exposure on its own, though.</description>

		<description>Why do Gays look for controversy when there is none.
Is it hetro phobic?

The jersy did not have any referesnce to being Gay to the players did it.

I am for Gay rights, but when you look to create controversy I say enough is enough. 

Just like when Gays went after the Christmas carole Deck the halls.

That has been sung for ever, No &quot; don we now our Gay apparel&quot; is not gay bashing.
 
If the gay community wants respect, they should quit trying to make everyone homophobic based on things that have gone on for years.</description>

		<description>Folks here&#039;s the deal.  Obviously this practice is offensive to a significant percentage of gays and women in our community.  Us &quot;manly men&quot; may not understand why they are offended, but GUESS WHAT ... THAT DOESN&#039;T MATTER!!!  If you are a decent human being who has respect for others, and you find out that something you are doing offends a significant percentage of the population YOU STOP DO{ING IT.  Fortunately, coach Meyer is a decent human being and has stopped this practice.</description>

		<description>If James Farrell was a house he&#039;d no longer be for sale since he just got OWNED. 

Perhaps Mr. Farrell, having been cast into the black hole of PWNED cyberspace warriors, should have all his subsequent posts on the internet be accompanied by a little white flag since everyone will know the world over that he&#039;s a failure and that he&#039;s given up. 

YOUR SILENCE IS DEAFENING MR. FARRELL! WHERE ARE YOU? Stuck in the abyss of your empty soul? Yeah. That happens.</description>

		<description>Mr. Farrell, 

I&#039;m not sure when you aborted logic and reason, but it&#039;s clear you were successful in doing so. 

Your inability to compose a sentence erodes my pride in America; your inability to think erodes my pride in people; your cowardice would be better served in an era that embraced your ideas, before Thomas Paine wrote of a common sense you will never know. 

Here&#039;s the problem, you rhinoceros filth: the coaching staff is associating a color with weakness. The color chosen could have been anything. The color should have been irrelevant. But by choosing a color associated with homosexuality, or associated with femininity, the coaching staff--perhaps unwittingly, but successfully--made a statement about our society...or rather, its take on it. 

That statement is wrongheaded and antiquated. Like you. 

Now scurry back into the hole in the earth from whence you came, rodent. I hope someday you follow the light and let evolution run its course, though I&#039;m guessing you don&#039;t believe in that either. And why should you? You&#039;ve no reason to believe in it since you&#039;re stuck firmly in the past.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the comment, Joseph. 

I generally don&#039;t respond to the idiotic comments on message boards (or even on my own page) because there is no point in doing so.  The anonymity of the internet brings out the worst of it, and to be honest, I do not have time to engage in a flame war.  (Go read my post about Kobe Bryant&#039;s use of &quot;fag&quot; if you want to really see some hateful stuff directed at me.)

If anyone wants to seriously discuss a matter in a civil manner, my contact information is widely available.  They can identify themselves and we can go from there.

You can gladly extend that to anyone posting anonymously on whatever random message boards are discussing this.</description>
