    The 76ers squad is a bunch of homophobic bums. To read Hunter and Shavlik Randolph's comments today it was just pathetic. So much for a Duke education.

    Good point, I guess maybe an entirely gay nba team they wouldn't feel awkward in the shower room?

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere he has a girlfriend.

    Also, there is a reason that Men and Women have seperate locker rooms/changing rooms.

    People need to get over themselves; you're not that good looking, nobody is looking at you, nor do they want to hook up with you; they just want to take a shower and go home.

    Way back in the '80s, I lived in a dorm on college with co-ed bathrooms and showers. We were not hiding in the stalls, hanging around trying to check out the ladies, we just wanted to shower and get on with our lives. Its called respect.

    LeBron, he's absolutely a great basketball player. That's it. He's a 22 yr old who's still growing up. I'd hardly look to him to be a sage voice of reason on homosexuality.

    Its not about how a guy looks, Rock Hudson was gay.

    Congrats to Mr. Amaechi for his courage.

    More power to you but you can go ahead and take a shower with another man who is gay. How do know how he feels? Imagine you were taking a shower with a really hot chick, would you feel nothing toward her? I bet you wouldn't be thinking "I need to get home." I know that most people on here would feel something if there was a really hot naked chick in the shower next to them.

    <div class="quote_poster">Laker_fan Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Ugh, he's an idiot anyway. In England, he used to be one of the hosts during NBA basketball games where he gave his analysis during timeouts, H/T etc... I wonder how the other players that were on his team back in the day feel. Sharing a locker room and hitting the showers and so forth with him.</div>

    I'm sure alot of them did know....and who cares? Gay people are everywhere....they may even be in your gym getting changed near you...yikes!

    So are you comparing yourself to a really hot naked chick, or is the gay guy the the hot naked chick?

    Either way: [​IMG]

    I saw a pic of this gay dude on either Yahoo.com or ESPN.com wearing a current Rockets jersey. Did he acctually play a game in the current Rockets uniforms?

    I think any pic of him in an Orlando jersey would be best suitable.
