“All in all it's a pretty great day for major league sports. At long last they've decided that gay people are fit to be included in their elite club-one that's already allowed in adulterers, wife-swappers, gamblers, cheaters, rapists, racists and slaughterers of man. Those who've abused spouses, drugs, alcohol, family members and animals. Congratulations, gay athletes. Are you sure you want to hang out with these people?” PeopleMenWantLongLastsSportsChangeAnimalWifeFitGayDrugMembersMajorsDecidedAthleteClubsAlcoholLeagueRacistHanging OutElitesSpouseCongratulationsGay PeopleFamily MembersGreat DayMajor LeagueCheater Author:Jon Stewart

But eventually... we will get to a place where it is not an issue in sports.” ThinkingMenWantSocialSportsIssuesEnvironmentGayMalesInvitingGay Men Author:David Stern
