It’s was terrible grass. I’m still so upset about the eagles losing that I went out and punched my lawn as an act of revenge.

I was meaning go to college for something STEM related. I shouldn’t assume, but I’m gonna go ahead with the assumption that you didn’t go to school for anything even arguably related to STEM. Perhaps you had a science class or two, which is definitely not the same thing. If you had, you’d probably be singing a different tune.

Went to college and graduated thank you. I’m not saying humans don’t impact the environment. I’m saying that if it were as dire as some of the doomsayers are insinuating, we would completely outlaw private jets and many other things. It wouldn’t even be up for discussion

This is why we're seeing such a huge pushback from the political right wing across the world against the LGBTQIA community. They know they're losing. We're normalizing it and it terrifies them.

To all those saying this isn't news or "who cares," I'm sincerely happy you're okay with lgbtq people and that you've never had to face the kinds of fear and stigma lgbtq people face. However, while this may be a non-event to you, for plenty of lgbtq people, happy outings like this are momentous. It provides young lgbtq kids role models and, in sports especially, shows them that they can excel at anything and be accepted despite what stereotypes might say. It's also positive for the lgbtq community because representation like this helps normalize the existence of out lgbtq people in all realms of life and media when a large segment of people are still homophobic to some degree. I hope one day outings like this aren't newsworthy, but we still live in a world where lgbtq people are marginalized and discriminated against and the more high-profile outings like this occur, the better off the lgbtq community is.

There aren't openly gay men in major pro sports...
I believe there isn't a single openly gay male in any of the 4 major Sports League in the States.
So this news is actually a big deal to some people. Particularly LGBT sports fans or young LGBT athletes.

The eagles player has admitted it was a hold so I think it's case closed.

Who cares? Anyone who lives in fear of revealing their sexual orientation and anyone who has a shred of empathy for people in that situation. That's who cares.

So then you’re literally saying oil companies data is the exact same as people from NOAA, POW, the EPA, every single college in the entire US and the world, every single scientist in every single government, the USGS, and the IPCC? Holy fucking hell you are delusional

I hope I live long enough to see the day when announcements like this are no longer necessary and no one will care about anyone else’s sexuality. I hope, but I fear I won’t.

How many openly gay footballers do you know?

It’s news because it’s pro sports. Statistically, there should be at the very least 2-3 gay players on any team in any sport. But the number of openly gay pro athletes is nowhere near that, and in many sports you don’t hear of any gay athletes. So when one decides to be open about their sexuality, it’s a big deal and should be underlined and celebrated.
