Griner Is A Lesbian: Will it be a problem?

[LosBulls]

So Brittney Griner is now openly gay, do you guys think the other women on the team will feel weird around her like let's say when they are in the locker room changing?

What do you guys think?

[Andrew Wiggins]

yes, a lesbian in the wnba is totally unprecedented.

[GOBB]

Are you serious? Most people assume majority of WNBA are lesbians. Chamique Holdsclaw shot up her ex lovers car and physically assaulted her. Griner coming out is a "I could have guessed that" if I ever saw one. Not a big deal. If anything it probably helps her more marketing wise. Call me when an active NBA player comes out.

[No Evans!]

Sheryl Swoopes is one of the greatest female players of all time. It didn't affect her teammates

[PJR]

She's gonna get Skylar Diggins with dat strap-on.

[Levity]

Isnt that a prerequisite in joining the WNBA?

[retaxis]

Griner ain't playing in any NBA team unless she can take full elbows from the likes of dwight howard, z-bo in the chest and hard fouls. No one gives a flying sh1t who you are in the PO, you are gonna get battered.

[Geriatric]

I guess I always just assumed she was. Would have been more surprised to see her say she wasn't one.

I imagine that straight players in the WNBA have much less of a problem with a homosexual teammate than their NBA counterparts would have. Like was mentioned above, it isn't groundbreaking or even uncommon in the sport.

Griner is a fu.cking guy.

[clayton]

This confirms the rumor of Griner being a man. :roll:

So many ladies in WNBA bout to get griner'd.

[buddha]

Call me when an active NBA player comes out.

Derricka Rose has been out for quite awhile..

http://brittanymarques.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/n2mlhs.jpg

here she is with her partner.

[retaxis]

D rose lol why we talk about him any more like he is still a super star. He won't be the same player he was because no1 in the NBA is ever the same player they were post ACLs.

[Glide2keva]

This.

[Xiao Yao You]

Probably be a bigger issue if she was straight.

[Patrick Chewing]

She's gonna get Skylar Diggins with dat strap-on.


I want me some Skylar.

[Glide2keva]

Good assessment Dr. Andrews.

[TonyMontana]

Nobody cares if a woman is gay, especially one that is ugly and manly looking like Griner that is probably only gay because she can't get a guy.

Homophobia is a bigger thing among dudes, call me when a current pro male athlete comes out. That'll be funny.

[theBIGjabroni]

the white girl she came on with on first take was hot for a wnba player

[jcsrplumply]

the white girl she came on with on first take was hot for a wnba player
Delle Donne! :rockon: :rockon:

[senelcoolidge]

Didn't Kobe announce he was bi-sexual. I call that gay. So a current NBA player has come out already.

[Foster5k]

Not really a big story for obvious reasons.

1. It's the WNBA(Basically a useless pro sport that the NBA funds)

2. It's a woman.(More people are "open" to women being gay than they are to men being gay. Why? Because most people are stupid that way. Their pyschology is flawed in logical thinking. Basically, the same reason people do other stupid crap for no apparent reason.)

For this to be a big story, it would have to be a major pro sport. And, it would have to be a male. Think NBA + Steve Nash. Then it would be all a rabid story that everyone and their mother finds out about and chimes in o with their worthless two cents. :D

[madmax]

Isnt that a prerequisite in joining the WNBA?

:D

[selrahc]

imo all women in the wnba should be lesbian. they should play scantily clad and rub up against each other when they post up

[Shepseskaf]

Have you ever watched Lingerie League games?

[madmax]

LMAO, I just noticed that Griner has a dude's voice...:roll: I mean WTF - is she/he a transsexual? What's the story here?

[IGotACoolStory]

That thing is straight, imo.

[Shepseskaf]

LMAO, I just noticed that Griner has a dude's voice...:roll: I mean WTF - is she/he a transsexual? What's the story here?
Too many male chromosomes.

[Bugz]

Honest question, do you guys think you can handle Griner in a fight? To death?

But most importantly, who wins Griner or a silverback gorilla?

She looks like she could take the gorilla. Serena Williams would be a good match-up.

emphasis on the diggins...

It sucks that WNBA players can be gay and it's like OBVIOUSLY, but NBA guys can't be gay. Personally, it's obvious that a lot of guys in the NBA are gay. Some are even close to flaming.

-Smak

[Burgz V2]

no, there are tons of openly lesbian players in the WNBA.

Wasn't Sheryl Swoopes lesbian as well? She's pretty high profile too.

[sportjames23]

yes, a lesbian in the wnba is totally unprecedented.

I know, right? :oldlol:

[BasedTom]

And men everywhere breathed a sigh of relief

[9512]

Brittney Griner announcing she is lesbian is ,like some 1 telling us a trans am has 4 wheels.

It was nearly a non brainer.

But in the world of american feminism, assuming a woman is a lesbian because she plays sports and has a deep voice or any masculine traits will get you in a hot seat.

They assume that you assume that women are gay if they play sports as a sing that you are an insecure male who is threatened by strong women.

[Euroleague]

So Brittney Griner is now openly gay, do you guys think the other women on the team will feel weird around her like let's say when they are in the locker room changing?

What do you guys think?

WTF? Not sure if serious.

99% of WNBA players are lesbians or bisexual.............

[Euroleague]

LMAO, I just noticed that Griner has a dude's voice...:roll: I mean WTF - is she/he a transsexual? What's the story here?

Griner is either really a man, or it had a sex change.

[Noob Saibot]

hmmm...I think Brittany Griner is Sheeva in disguise.

Barney Stinson should just come out of the closet before they can that show.

Yes I know Neil Patrick Harris is gay in real life but it's a double standard in this world of sports where females can be openly gay but a gay man can't. Have Stimson join a rugby league then have him come out lol

[TheReal Kendall]

So Brittney Griner is now openly gay, do you guys think the other women on the team will feel weird around her like let's say when they are in the locker room changing?

What do you guys think?

:biggums:

Have you watched the WNBA? I would go as far as to say that 97% of the women are lesbians and if not full blown lesbos they are bi or have partaken in some kinda gay activity. Plus women don't react the same as men do towards gay people.

Aww, they make a great brother & sister basketball duo. I wish I could tell which one is which tho.

[tomtucker]

She's gonna get Skylar Diggins with dat strap-on.

she don

[TheReal Kendall]

She's gonna get Skylar Diggins with dat strap-on.

:lol I would like to join just to get Skylar Diggins. She too sexy

[Y2Gezee]

I thought she was already openly out. My bad

[Lord Leoshes]

Good for her, who ever doesn't like it doesn't have to be one.

[d.bball.guy]

I saw the article at Yahoo..I thought Griner admitted she's a man or a transgender or somesort. I'm pretty sure most of WNBA players are lesbos. Pointless news.

[JellyBean]

Nope. Heck if Sheryl Swoope can pull it off and have no problem, I don't Griner will have an issue. I am glad that she opened up about this issue. Heck it aint none of my business. But I am proud of her. Bold move for such a young talent.

[G-train]

Yes I know Neil Patrick Harris is gay in real life but it's a double standard in this world of sports where females can be openly gay but a gay man can't.

Men can.

[Leftimage]

I just always assumed she was gay. So it really doesn't come off as newsworthy material to me.

[wfb]

Good for her! Her sexuality doesn't affect the way she plays basketball, it wouldn't be a problem.

If I don't know better Id thought she's a slightly effeminate guy. :lol

[9512]

Men can.

no gay men will openly be gay in the NBA or any sports not in 2013 so far.

[wfb]

Only because men seems to have an issue against gays in sports than women do. You only have to read posts on ISH to get an idea on how they are prejudiced against gays.

[russwest0]

How can she be a lesbian if she is a man

[DKLaker]

Seriously, at least 60% of the WNBA are lesbians.......maybe as high as 95%.
In LA they heavily market the team to the Lesbian community.....nothing is hidden.

[HarryCallahan]

Griners a chick?

[Myth]

Women didn't care when Reggie Miller played with them, why should they care if Griner does?

[tomtucker]

:eek:

[Kiddlovesnets]

Nope, hes straight, he likes women just like most of we men do.
:D

[devin112]

"she" sounds just like barry white or issac hayes

[Bandito]

This is unrelated but she scares me:(

She's 6'8", that's why.

I hate when people say this about the NBA/NFL/whatever when it is completely unfounded. Who exactly? Name them, because I think it'd be pretty easy to prove otherwise on many accounts and your assumptions would be based on shallow factors. There may be a few, but there are absolutely no flaming homos blatantly fvcking dudes in the NBA. Deal with it progreessives, it is not common in professional sports in any sense. Nothing against gay people, I just find it dumb when people say this

Would it destroy your world if there were let's say 10 to 20 gay guys right now in the NFL/NBA? And why just those 2 leagues?

And. Being gay doesn't mean acting all flamboyant and effeminate. I knew a gay guy from HS who was uber masculine and was very homophobic. LOL it turned out he was gay this whole time. He was in the closet .

This brings it to another issue. Tim Hard away was rumored to be gay at one point and so was his other name's sake Anfernee.

Point is what does a gay act like or look like? You could ask that question about a homocidal maniac or pedophile or mail carrier or bus driver or accountant.

And hiding your sexuality can be done. john Amaechi did it well enough. Though his teammates suspected him.

Nah I wouldn't even care honestly, homos don't bother me as long as they don't touch me. Why those two leagues? They're the only 2 where I see people always trying to say there are many gay people in these leagues, as if it is obvious and an indisputable fact when it has literally no basis. Guys like this talk like there is a gay guy on every team which I feel is simply untrue and a huge exaggeration. Got nothing to do with the content really, more of just a beef with misinformation.

I know Barkley in particular loves to look progressive by sayin how there were a lot of gays in the NBA, but I just don't see any hard evidence, leading me to believe all these stories are just meant to push the modern pro-gay agenda. If there are so many gay former players, why has only 1 come out? They are no longer in the spotlight and would be accepted by the public and touted as a hero. It wouldn't be bad like it would 40 years ago, they'd be celebrated. Idk I just really don't see it being as common as some people suggest it is

[BBallZen83]

Being accepting of homosexuality is hardly a progressive thing. It has been apart of different cultures for thousands of years. Puritanical ideas are actually younger by comparison. All that matters to me is that I have absolutely no qualms about sexual preference. For god sakes homosexuality is a blessing upon humanity. We are growing at an exponential rate and consuming resources at an equally alarming rate. And your telling me there are people out there who don't create more children that our planet is already having trouble sustaining? And better yet, they want to adopt the children that are flooding the foster care system?? Thank you good sirs and ladies of the homosexual community.

[wakencdukest]

[QUOTE=tomtucker]she don

Hope shes fine with MWP and Dwight howard elbows to the chest and face in a match or Lebron running her down like a rag doll. Hope she keeps her confidence up after that okay.
