If few gays make it to the top in sports, it may be that the ones who try aren’t that good and that the ones who might have made it have other interests.

I am surprised you would say such ignorant shit as that. Very surprised. Replace “gay” with black and you’d see how insanely offensive and outrageous such a statement that would be. P…[Read more]

When people decry the “fact” (really?) that there are no LGBTQ athletes

I am disappointed with you Unseen because you usually pay attention and don’t misrepresent what people said. I never claimed there are no out players, I said there are none currently playing in the top tier leagues (and qualified that by not playing on the farm team or a pla…[Read more]

Autumn, I remember the late 80s in the UK when it seemed all the manufacturers became aware of the huge buying power of the ‘pink pound’ – so commercials made sure to market to them as much as possible.

The pink pound was considered particularly powerful because “the gays can’t have children or marry so they have the most disposable income”…[Read more]

Only one of these was I directly affected. One I noticed from a bus. The other I noticed from the other side of the street. As I was travelling at my leisure and went to places most people don’t necessarily need to go to or want to go to, well: maybe I was just paying more attention and being more observant. I have noticed many times foreigners…[Read more]

Here is an NBA player who came out.

Not a current player and that article just made me even more sad.

During my two trips in Boston (equalling 6 days in total) I saw a street corner with South-Boston toughs intimidating nearly everyone who passed by including racial taunts, threats of violence and general hooligan menacing.

While in Newark I saw a group of kids walking down the street knocking over a ladies shopping trolley and harassing a…[Read more]

If there is a currently playing NHL, NBA or MLB player (not an understudy, not a prospect, not a farm team player, not a benched player) then please let me know. I am not aware of any. If there is one or two, then I stand corrected (please let me know who they are). As far as I know there is 1 currently in the NFL and this was Earth shattering and…[Read more]

College is not top tier Enco (it isn’t even professional). Details matter. Pay attention and try not to misrepresent what people say or repackage them to suit your world view.

your broad assertion that there are no out Gay athletes in the entire Western World

Enco…stop with the misrepresenting what people say. You failed to read what I said clearly (as you often did). I said out athletes in top tier European football leagues or in the North American leagues: NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB. Pay attention to what people say Enco.…[Read more]

No I do not think that Europe has a bigger problem with racism than the US. The US is an exceptionally racist society and the fall-out, especially with African-Americans is atrocious. Just walk around a black inner city in most cities. There are no non-racist societies anywhere in the world. A few countries are slightly less outwardly racist.

But…[Read more]

Autumn is completely right about the shit-cake of fans. In most of European top-tier football (remember once again, that place where the thousands of gay players of which none are out of the closet), most teams, at least in Western Europe, after interviews find fellow players mostly indifferent to or actively wanting players to come out to show…[Read more]

The Progressive Left thinks mere words…

Blah blah blah. Meaningless stupid ridiculous overgeneralisations. Just stop Enco. Please. Seriously. WTF? I would react the same if someone said such vacuous nonsense about “the reactionary right”. Hyper overgeneralisations make us all less intelligent.

Just stop…[Read more]

Thanks Reg!!!

Putin and those who help keep him in power are completely uninterested in the long term anything per the Russian economy, security, regional stability, quality of life and so on. And they are just as uninterested in what Russians think (they are telling them what to think under threat of severe penalties otherwise). Until a significant threshold…[Read more]

Oh that’s a great one I had never seen

Could we maybe change the website to:

We evolved as a competitive species and its well documented that we need an element of danger in our lives, whether it means jumping out of aircraft, or knitting a new style – whatever gives you that quiver moment.

As an aggressive species, we seek confrontation, but as armchair warriors, it’s cool if the confrontation can be manufactured at w…[Read more]
