I write this because Derrick Gordon a star player from UMASS decided to come out of the closet today and now the world as we know it is much better than it was and how i'm supposed to now bow down his altar. Look i give Gordon credit for saying it but the fact is gentlemen i don't care. I don't care what sexual preference a player has. And most of all i'm tired of the media telling me to care
The funniest thing is those who believe" Well Jason collins,Michael Sam and now Gordon they've all come out so now everything has changed" Not really it hasn't. This isn't Andrew Wiggins,Jabari Parker or Shabazz Napier coming out this is Derrick Gordon. Until you get a true star to come out nothing will change. Come November when the season starts guys are you going to watch a UMASS game and say"Hey there's Derrick Gordon who's sexual preference is different than mine" No you won't and neither will i. When he misses free throws to cost us a cover we'll cuss him out but it won't be because of his sexual preference
The last thing which is irritating me is stop comparing what these athletes are going through to what Jackie Robinson went through. Its not even close and thats ignorant to think. Guess what guys i've called hoops games where players sexual preferences differ from mine and you've gone to work with people who's sexual preference is different from yours and somehow life moves on. So to ESPN i have this to say. No one cares and grow up
Am i the only one irritated by this
