    So...he heard somebody call him a derogatory name. Didn't see who it was. Waited a year, then filed a lawsuit.

    You'd think, since he's gay, that he'd know the definition of frivolous.

    Did you read his post? I think he is referring to the Houston player. What actions (if any) by Tate led them to believe he was gay?

    That is why I deleted my post. I thought he was wondering how posters knew he was gay but I read it wrong.

    How can he file a lawsuit against the Rockets? He wasn't employed by the team and they only visit New York once a year. That doesn't really make sense to me.

    The article inform us but how did the players know? Did this guy inform them? I wonder how he might have communicated the information?
    Did they (players) want to know this detail about a caterer?

    "your honor, id like to present the court with EXHIBIT A, samuel dalemberts penis"

    "mr dalembert, in your words, and to the best of your recollection, what happened on the night in question?"

    "so i was just finishing up doing calisthenics naked, glistening with sweat, breathing heavily and doing some yoga poses when i notice this guy having a sneaky peeky at my penis, so i told the guy, i says, "hey guy, enough with the pecker check already, what do you think this is, a sneaky peeky party?"

    "well, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, as you can clearly see, mr dalembert has a VERY large, and might i add, VERY handsome penis. But the fact is, just because he could have been a penis model in ancient greece, just because it looks like a copperhead trapped in a crown royal bag, just because he has a summer job as a sundial, does NOT give another man the right to look at it longingly and with a half smile remark, and i quote... "ill have the dark meat"...no further questions your honor, the defense rests"
