    This dude just doesn't seem legit. A complaint like this would / should have come out when (if) it occurred.

    Didn't realize how long ago the alleged incident occurred. Damn it Delfino! Damn it James Anderson! :grin:

    Ummm.... did you not see who was still on the roster at that particular time as the 15th man? Since we all know he's a true hipster, you had to know that he was there that night at least in the locker room right?

    Too early to tell much. Until players are named. But I don't know if he has to know the names of players - if you aren't a basketball fan how would you know?

    Ummmmm...Yeah, it was the really tall black guy. The one without the beard.


    I hope.

    And this (warning--drawing of penis): "shhh it's okay. you've been preparing for this your whole life"

    He was probably just saying faggy things like "People from Phoenix are Phoenicians".

    I agree. Also, would he attempt to wipe his internet presence if all of his posts were not so blatantly sexual and somehow adverse to the suit? I'm not saying he deserved whatever was said but I seriously doubt this caused any distress. It also appears to me that he was working this job part-time from his job history. MEH

    Well isn't the popular mantra that it's genetic, ergo beyond morality? If so, then it is likely that at least a bare majority of them would have an associated "look" (i.e. a phenotypic expression).

    How is this discriminatory at all? Can't the same statements be directed regardless of sexual orientation. Besides, they weren't all that offensive either.

    It was McHale and it was because the guy was trying to see their chalk board. Had nothing to do with the guy being gay.

    I cannot speak for the poster but I interpret what he/she was trying to say is that there are people who will sometimes act out these certain derogatory traits and calling them as such has nothing to do with their sexual orientation, race or gender.
