    Problem with this lawsuit--he could not identify who said what to whom. He had his back turned to the guys. How could he sue the whole team?

    Also does his catering company only do NBA games? He couldn't get overtime working on some other gigs? He must have raised a huge fuss about it that his company didn't assign anymore to any NBA games.

    Look I dont believe in Gayness. But if we are gonna make fun of this man. Im not
    for that either. I would rather hear from CLUTCH that we tried to help him out. I promise there is a GOD & JESUS. When they intend to me down here and prove I dunno. But as long as we continue to walk this earth. I promise I will root for the Rockets!

    I no for can go the way of your Gayness with the Rockets. It ways heavy on my arm for your title to be like this when we should "hug it out" and kiss it down 3 way time.

    Sounds to me like this guy is trying to play the litigation game, and lost this round.

    I would become gay too, if I could sue any athlete who passes me on the sidewalk and win.

    You don't believe in "gayness"? It isn't the boogyman, it is obviously "real".

    How exactly would be "try to help him out"? Would we give him gay boot camp.

    The rest....... I don't know, I have now popped a blood vessel in my eyeball.

    The ruling has nothing to do with whether any Rocket players said what the plaintiff alleged they said. The dismissal, as reported, is based on the fact that even if some Rockets players did say what was alleged, the law does not provide for a claim against the Rockets.

    The plaintiff is suing for employment discrimination and the law provides for such claims against one's employer-- which the Rockets are not-- and not generally against other persons or entities. The plaintiffs lawyer was likely trying to draw as many defendants into the suit as possible at least to start with and probably asserted some tenuous connection between the Rockets and his actual employer which the court rejected.

    Would have been pretty impressive to do that from the lakers locker room.


    I don't want or need "rep" just pointing out that you didn't read the thread.

    Forget about the damn rep. You'll have to earn that back rub another way.
