I just wanted you all to know," Kellogg said, "I'm gay."
The team sat silently in disbelief. Since Kellogg had been married to his wife for almost nine years, the players knew something was up.


So did his players find out before his wife?

It says the gay player watched the team's reaction as the coach said this. I took that to mean the coach wasn't really gay. If he were, that would be th bigger story, right?

So the coach said that he was gay even though he's not in order to make it easier for the player? That seems odd

Who cares? Why the theatrics on the part of the player, other than to get attention. He's a basketball player. He's gay. So friggin' what.

And Derrick Kellogg makes it even stupider.

This. If you're gay, be gay. Why does it have to be some big event every....single....time....

Then they are going to get all pissy about receiving too much attention for their sexuality.

Oh, I know. I just think it's stupid.

If Joe Blow in accounting was gay, we wouldn't have a company or departmental meeting about it with our CEO declaring that he was "gay" just to soften the blow. NOBODY would care. But, after the announcement, I'd make sure to leave my door open whenever he came in, you know, in case he tried to jump me for some gay lovin' or something, because isn't that what they do? JUST KIDDING.

If Joe was gay, and blows, he has probably already been promoted to Sr. VP of accounting and want to keep it quiet.

I swear I hope one day some male professional athlete holds a press conference, walks to the podium and says"I have announcement to make. I love pussy" and walks off. I can't for the life of me understand why the media is making such a big deal about what gender someone prefers sexually. Unbelievable.

said he just didn't want to be treated differently......yeah, wait til the team is done practicing and it's shower time.

He's got months to feel good about himself until the team gets back together and then he'll learn he's not totally one of them.

Would be my favorite player of all time if they did that. I wouldn't even give a shite if it was Matt Ryan, with me being a saints fan.

You definitely did redeem yourself with that comment...unfortunately, as Ron White used to say, you can't fix stupid...

You can tell who is still homophobic by seeing the angry " arrghhh WHO CARES??" If they really didn't care they wouldn't be posting about it.
