    How about the fact that the thread is based on a completely unsubstantiated report from a dubious unnamed source. How about the fact that this "article" is three years old (it references the all star game in Houston in 2013) and has absolutely no substance to it. Or how about the fact that Westbrook got married in August 2015 to his girlfriend of over two years. Hmm...means he started dating her in 2013. I wonder if this rumor was created by the ex because she got pissed about being replaced.

    I could just as easily write an "article" like this about any pro athlete and invent details that are completely unsupportable. Yet somehow, this deserves a thread?

    If there is no interest in this thread, it flies down the board unnoticed. But if people respond, it sticks around and stimulates conversation. This isn't a news site though it can be sometimes.

    Why is Russell Westbrook's sexual preference a topic of discussion? Because he's famous? Should we be discussing Robin Lopez' sexual preference too? I mean, he's infatuated with Disney and spends a lot of time with mascots. I have it on good authority that he's a "furry". If he were to come out, that would be huge for the "furry" community. Let's discuss...

    Eh. You're looking at the myopic of it all. Bigger picture, like KS said, is what I'm talking about.

    Look at the thread title and classification. "Rumor: Russell Westbrook Gay".

    If the thread were, "Potential impact of all-NBA player coming out", then that would be different.

    All I've been saying, from the beginning, is that @fryed247 has a point in his objection to the basis for the thread.

    just for clarification, I altered the title to read "rumor". mostly because that was being generous, and there wasn't one for "attention whore".

    Can't you move to OT? The Barkley thing got moved-- why not this too?

    We just clinched a playoff spot with a week of the regular season to go. This isn't the time and place for a dumbass thread like this (Sorry @KingAlbertoJrSpeed)

    I moved the Barkley thread because the conversation wasn't about the all star game or basketball.

    I'm keeping an eye on this thread, the conversation is about basketball/basketball players so I'm not seeing a reason to move it.

    Would really help Westbrooks career if he was gay.

    At some point I'm surprised we don't see a starting caliber NBA player say he's gay for the money. Collins ended up with the #1 selling jersey for awhile and he was a 15th man scrub.
