Gay people aren’t a monolith, and professional sports might not be the most welcoming place for someone who isn’t straight. Maybe lots of bi and gay athletes that don’t want to be our publicly for plenty of reasons. I feel like those are more realistic assumptions than just thinking gay people don’t have an affinity for sports.

Sorry to hear that. Thank you for humoring me.

Honestly I’d rather watch 1995 than last night.

Bro, it’s all subjective. Your allowed to have your opinion. I just wanted to hear it.

But 1995 though?

100%.

Club: “you’re awesome and doing the job you’re paid to do. This is a non-newsworthy event in our estimation but we’re publicly supporting your decision to call the media about it. Keep turning into work and we’ll keep paying you. Today isn’t any different from yesterday. Everyone loves you.”

Really?

You mean aside from the pop artist who doesn’t write her own songs, who didn’t even bother holding the microphone to her face at times, who showed up incapable of doing any sort of dance performance, who didn’t bring out any other artists (as is customary) to amp things up, who hasn’t had a hit in 7 years, who turned the NFL down “for moral reasons” a few years ago but now has an album to promote? Rihanna isn’t a timeless artist. She’s a pop star who isn’t relevant anymore, and didn’t bring what was needed to relaunch her career. She took the job knowing she was pregnant, and then phoned in this half assed effort?

The only decent thing about the half time show was the suspended platforms.

Contrast this against last year which was arguably one of the best half time performances in history, or compare it against The Weekend from two years ago (who I can’t stand as an artist but he brought his A+ game for the Super Bowl).

Name some worse half time performances, I dare you.

In 5 years there won’t be winter spots.

Please, tell me. What makes it the worst halftime show in history?

As a Broncos fan, I never thought I’d be saying it, but hell yeah I love what Carr is doing

good for him!

Maybe a more accurate assumption would be, there are more barriers to get into sport.

Carl Nassib is currently on the Buccaneers

Yeah immediately thought of him. Still insane this is only the third ever active male professional player in the entire sport.

Why statistically? You're comparing to the general population. Then statistically only 11.6% of NBA players should be black, instead it's 75%. Maybe gay people just don't have much of an affinity for sports.

What’s interesting is that the people not caring are as important as people that do, for it’s the path to normality about this type of news.

Ultimately, normality and integration is what this will achieve and will eventually be no different than the news of someone announcing their cheese preference on a sandwhich!

20+ years of horrible defense will do that to a team

That's not really the issue. I'm not disputing it was a hold because technically it was. My issue is the refs calling the hold on what looked to be pretty ticky-tack call with the game on the line (and it was a great game). That would be the time to swallow the whistle.

A point has to be made

My degree is in Applied Science, but that’s medical. So you are correct, no STEM.

I do
