Question for those who remember the early 1990's

[Thomas D]

My guess is the NFL breaks it first.  Followed by baseball and the NHL.  But I hate the NBA so my biases may be at play here.

I've always thought baseball would be first.

Isn't the lesson that having bigots on the team is bad for team cohesion?

If no bigot could be on a sports team American sports would not exist.

FTFY

and has his OS set to look like Windows 95, as I recall.

What's wrong with that?

[So rightwing that I broke the Political Compass!]

dude, if you had your way, you would trade your junk for something better designed for your desires.  See, when I look at my wife, I think, "Damn, I want that body right now."  But, when you look at her, you probably think, "Damn, wish I had her body right now."  Our remarks may sound the same, but they mean two totally different things. 

This is one of the more retarded things I have ever read.

Maybe, but football players seem to be a little more open minded than baseball players (yes, that is a low bar)....something to do with them spending time at college whereas baseball players don't tend to go to college and spend more time in a more closed, ....ahem..."closeted" environment.  Granted, most top football athletes in college live a fairly segregated, non-typical college life, but still, they are much more likely to run into "out" people than the other 3 major American pro sports athletes.

I reckon it won't happen anywhere anytime soon, but I hope I'm wrong.

Sport, especially professional sport, is more "manly" than even the military.  Locker rooms are notoriously bigoted places...I don't see it happening with an active player anytime soon. 

in building off of deadman, here is renowned Lacanian Slavoj Zizek, in a context that can be applied to this discussion.

One should ask here a naive, but nonetheless crucial question: why does the Army so strongly resist publicly accepting gays into its ranks? There is only one possible consistent answer: not because homosexuality poses a threat to the alleged ‘phallic and patriarchal’ libidinal economy of the Army community, but, on the contrary, because the Army community itself relies on a thwarted/disavowed homosexuality as the key component of the soldiers’ male-bonding.

I suppose it might be fun for afflietch, a 27 year old super-fit gym twink, to camp it up at a party dressed as a 40+ Texas housefrau.  But to imagine that he wants a body like that...

I left that about 30 pounds ago I powerlift.

Well, I suppose that makes my point even pithier, n'est ce pas.  Though I no doubt would've preferred you as a twink.  What are you now, a top?  Next thing you know you'll be getting a tattoo.

I've always topped which seems to be accomodated fairly well with each guy and my current boyfriend. Been told I'm missing out by not bottoming, which I suppose is true in terms of orgasmic intensity, but I live for seeing my partner get completely lost in it.

And I might be getting a tattoo funnily enough, but only if it means something and nothing out of a book.

fyi, my wife goes to Gold's Gym 4-5 times a week.

not according to Chris...but, in anycase, both are equally gross and unseemly

If he said such a thing he was probably taking the piss out of you. You have less understanding of such matters than a teenager.

is being a pitcher less unseemly than being a catcher in your eyes (pardon the pun)?  You seem to be adamant to declare yourself a pitcher.

to be honest, if I had my wife's body, I would probably never leave the house!

Not at all. If I was a 'catcher' I would be happy to admit to it. I'm just not. When my sexuality revealed itself out of the ether of childhood the male ass was always enticing, as was everything else from stubble to their smile. Anyway when two men have sex anyone can penetrate. That's the easy bit for most men gay or straight. The hard part is to take it as there is a slight pain before everything relaxes. Bear in mind the prostate; a literal male 'g-spot' is located at the end of the anal passage. When struck it is euphoric (and you have to learn exactly the best position to strike it in if you are a considerate lover ) and makes for an intense orgasm so I miss out on that feeling.

Women are also learning about the joys to be had and are beginning to learn how to massage that area in their lovers either externally or internally (if both are adventurous)

Too much info, bro

What do you mean, you'd be afraid of getting raped cause you'd be so hot, or you'd have to stay at home and.. ehem.. enjoy yourself, if you see what I mean?

[BaldEagle1991]

I may not remember the early 90's, but I can understand what your talking about.

I'm going on a lam and say the first gay male athlete to come out while playing will be in the MLS.
