like I said...anyone who criticises him is a homophobe.
their support for gays regarding marriage, military service, etc counts for nothing.
Ah, you seem to have missed the thread. In the third post a person who has admitted to having no interest in basketball and has demonstrated distinct homophobic behaviors in teh past decided to speculate about his career.
No, anyone who decides to criticize his career in this context is probably a homophobe. Do you have some other reason why someone would chose in this context to criticize his career?
Of course I do. And the only way of avoiding another woman form enduring the same experience is to make certain that no person feels that they have to hide their sexuality from the world. If we lived in a more accepting world, where ignorant people devoid of empathy didn't latch on to any excuse to call a homosexual a "scumbag" or attack them in some way, there would be nobody who endures what she endured.
But go on with your bad empathizing self by making damned sure that more people end up like her. It's sure to work.
Who is criticizing his career in this context while also being supporting of homosexuals?
how "honest" was he with his fiance of 7 years?
With whom? Honest with a adoring gay media, or honest with Moos who he dated, banged, and was intimate with for 7 years only to dump her like a brick when he felt the coast was clear for him to come out. He's a loser, plain and simple.
Tim-
You just don't get it do you. He probably was afraid of how people like you would react.

No, he clearly cited it earlier

he may be a homophobic, but that doesn't make everything he says about the guy homophobic.
I suggest looking up the genetic fallacy
With whom?
And you my friend just don't get it.
Was OScarB63 his fiancee?
me, for one. or can't you read for comprehension?

well...technically, he is not an "active player". his contract with the Wizards ended with the season, so he is currently an unsigned free agent. but let's not let details derail a good media hype.
No I got it, believe me. I got that you folks are so wrapped up in your rush to celebrate this turd, that you ignore the real implications of his actions.
Tim-
With himself about who he is.
Ah well that was all feel goody.. Color me unimpressed, but I happen to live in the real world, and that real world is full of people who find homosexuality icky. One might even say that this built in ickiness reaction is as legitimate, if not more legitimate than homosexuality itself. Perhaps there's a perfectly good reason why we are generally icked out by same sex attraction. Might have something to do with our predisposition to heterosexuality as the objectively normative state by which we proliferate as a species. Just a guess, but me thinks I'm on to something. Of course the homophiles probably won't agree, but I didn't really expect them, and you to anyway.
Tim-
He's the only guy to ever break up with a girl? Huh? I support that he became honest about his sexual orientation period. End of story.
Why do you have the delusional belief that this is related to the genetic fallacy?
Narrowing down the possibilities to the only logical conclusion is not the genetic fallacy.
You find homosexuality icky, yet manage to immerse yourself in threads about homosexuality almost constantly. Interesting thing, ain't it? If you find it so repugnant, why are you so attracted to it?
you didn't reference specific people, you made a blanket claim: criticism of his career = homophobia
PS Even if you don't have much interest in a particular sport, you still can know about it via the simple fact you do things like watch sportscenter. In fact, I hated baseball growing up, but due to the simple fact that I watched sports center religiously at the time, I had a basic knowledge of what was going on in the pros
