  • GAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAY

  • This commercial is fucking gay. And all the people that made this video are gay for participating in it. There's nothing wrong with saying "That's so gay" or "That's some gay shit" to express yourself as long as there's no gays around and you don't say it to a gay person. It makes sense and I'm sure most people can get the joke when people say things like that. No offense to anyone reading this who's gay.

  • Using gay to mean homosexual is not cool. It's offensive to happy people.

  • lol at these comments. These people...

  • Once again, the reason this commercial is so lame (or gay if you choose) is because it exposes gays for being complete hypocrites. They march and rant because they want people to 'accept them as they are', and 'not tell them how to live their lives', etc, etc.

    Yet, in this commercial, they want to tell other people what to think, how to behave, and what to say. Seriously? What other people choose to say is their business and their prerogative. If u don't want them in yours stay out of theirs.

  • @eqsharp No person is an island onto themselves. We all are part of society and interact with each other. We affect society, including how it generally thinks and behaves, in one way or another, in everything we do. Bigoted speech steps into the lives of the group at which it is directed when it's used in a public setting where people of that group are around, whether you're aware of them or not. In any situation, If there's unreasoned speech, there's a right to speak with reason too.

  • @dexterxyz The point is, the gay community has shown themselves to be just as bigoted with videos like this. This video 'stepped into peoples lives' via a 'public setting' (tv) espousing a belief system that conflicts with what many of these people believe.

    People have different beliefs and opinions when it comes to the 'gay' word. If you don't accept their values, beliefs, and opinions and feel the need to change them, then you're just as bigoted as they are and thus a hypocrite.

  • @eqsharp This would also make blacks and Jews bigots and hypocrites for not accepting or challenging the diverse opinions of the KKK or Nazis. Anyone who doesn't remain silent or passive and who uses critical thinking, will make things more difficult for oppressors and bullies in their beliefs. This is how needed and thoughtful social change happens. Not all opinions are equal. You can't support your opinion by saying it's an opinion. Anyone who debates or speaks is equally wrong?

  • @dexterxyz Trying to compare gays to Blacks and Jews is a nice try but laughable at best and offensive to many.

    Blacks and Jews have struggled for tangible human rights. Like the right not to be exterminated. Like the right to live and not be a slave. Like the right not to be hung from a tree. The right to use a water fountain, a bathroom, or a seat on a bus.

    Being called 'gay' is not a human rights violation. LOL. No matter how much you want it to be. Another reason y this video is lame.

  • @eqsharp I wasn't comparing the histories. There are similarities and differences there(slavery, segregation). Gays were also illegal and executed, put into concentration camps. That wasn't the argument I was making though. All groups are still targeted for hate crimes and have been discriminated against. Bigoted expressions and opinions are just that(and you agreed these were bigoted), when applied to any of those groups. This was my argument.

  • @dexterxyz And challenging bigotry doesn't make you a bigot.

  • @dexterxyz It shouldn't have to get to the very worst violations of human rights, before we react with something besides apathy to ignorance and bigotry.

  • Political correctness is such a disease. I can't believe anyone is actually stupid enough to lap this shit up. Not only will i say gay when and were I damn well please, but I will also say this: Gay people need to be offended, they are sexual deviants who need honesty, not coddling. this world is so ass backwards, I am so afraid of my child growing up in this age of lies. Fuck you Grant Hill and the NBA.

  • We can't say gay, because it offends the poor gays. How about our society stops being so uptight and politically correct.

  • THIS COMMERCIAL IS SO FUCKING GAY!

  • @dexterxyz when gay first started to mean homosexual, people accepted that the true meaning was happy. But society twisted it to mean homosexual. This is merely the continued evolution of the word.

  • @KingAdrock99 Use of gay as an insult may also be diminishing as a trend, due to increased respect for gay people.

  • Reading the comments here shows why this video needed to be made.

    It's so easy to laugh and hate.

    It takes strength to change yourself and be a little better then you were yesterday.

    It takes guts to stand up to the crowd and do what's right.

    There is hope for the next generation.

  • Sooooo homo...and fagishly gay. Too bad I have bo sympathy for self-made gays. This p.o.s. makes me wanna say the word gay even more. GAY.

  • I LOVE THIS!!

  • I think the people have spoken..this commercial is BULLSHIT!

  • @TheGDUB503 PRRREEEEACH!!!!

  • @zerosyth PREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAACHHHH­!!!

  • @eqsharp PREACH!

  • @drdrw10 PREACH!

  • @KingAdrock99 PREACH!!!

  • @consbe01 this is not true.

  • @consbe01 YOU ARE NOT FORCED TO ACT ON DESIRE THOUGH.

  • Your mother is an old hag and you shoot like a . . .

  • @Sleepyfist PREACH, BRUTHA!! PREACH!! i dont take GAY as meaning stupid..i take it as meaning SOFT..which many gay men ARE!!! its the truth!!!

  • @jeminni19 That could work but they can't actually say it

  • This commercial is gay!!!

  • they should do a commercial like this for the word nigger

  • gayer then diddy going to bixsexual clubs and sucking dick.

  • this is so gay

  • That commercial was gay

  • What a bunch of queers

  • FAKE AND GAY

  • IS THIS ABOUT RUDY GAY?

  • jimmy tatro had this in one of his vids

    

  • gay

  • Comment removed

  • this commercial is gay

  • Tim Hardaway dislike this video

  • Gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • I was gonna make a gay joke...........Buttfuck it.

    

  • This commercial... is actually pretty gay...

  • My guess is the video is probably directed at a younger audience, obviously it's plenty corny to us but hey at least it might get young kids that watch NBA to be a little less homophobic, especially in areas that might not get a message like that.

  • @BCsongs

    Except that it isn't homophobic to say it, so there's always that problem.

  • @Christstuffer How is it not homophobic to equate being gay to something that is negative? If kids are constantly using gay as a negative slur and thinking of being gay as something negative then how can that possibly not create homophobic tendencies?

  • @BCsongs I think about that too. and I dont rly know. I have gay friends. boys and girls. when they r around I dont use it. but anytime else, I use it. gay originally meant "happy" then homosexual started to use it to describe themselves. yeah maybe its of course of homophobians, that "gay" became a synoym for dumb/lame/stupid. idk. languages develops. watch the southpark episode callegs "the f word". Maybe if I would be gay I wopudl find it offensive, idk.

  • @BCsongs I guess its hard to control the development of language. I just know that there are a lot of ppl who arent homophobic and they use it anyway. maybe thats wrongt, but sometimes u think there are more important things then being so aware of ur language. as I said, when gay ppl are around, there awareness comes. it feels weird then. so maybe I'm rly the one who should train to control myself instead of asking them to just "chill" and not to take it offensive. idk.

  • @BCsongs its rly not an easy issue.^^

  • That commercial is so gay (Buzzer beater sounds) That damn buzzer beater sounds those guys make are so gay too

  • This is sooo gay

  • All of these people are fucking immature for posting comments about what the commercial is trying to stop

  • @abc12370855

    And you're fucking stupid for falling for this nonsense

    News flash: Calling someone who isn't gay, gay, is contrasting qualities, not demeaning homosexuals. If someone says I throw a football like a woman do you think they're out to get all women for not embracing the glorious sport of football? Hell no. It's just, as a straight man, I should probably have learned to by now.

    So get over yourself, bewildered warrior.

    *No offense to real warriors!

  • @Christstuffer To tell a man to not be like a woman is misogynistic. To assume some is not really straight or gay and that gay men can't be as good at sports is a homophobic and heterosexist stereotype. Why should all straight men be presumed athletic, but gay men not have those abilities or interests?

  • @abc12370855 shut the fuck up GAY

  • GAY

  • are you fucking kidding me? fuck those fags for getting mad. take the cock out of your mouth . and just so everybody is aware

    "gay" means happy.

  • @jameshempin yep that was its original meaning. then it became the meaning for homosexual. now its develops to become the meaning of shitty/dumb/stupid/lame. good to mee sopmeone with some knowledge here. tip to the hat sir.

  • What if gay people offends me when they're acting gay? Am I in the wrong? Think about that Mr Hill.

  • @mistrlemon then you should grow up

  • @mistrlemon super gay homophob is megagay! ur hate of homosexual ppl is fuckin gay!

  • @ikickazz x2

  • Well at least now we know two NBA players who aren't complete homophobes...

  • gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay

  • This commercial is gay.

  • Gay commercial. Ill say gay as much as i want. 

  • A lot of knuckle-dragging ignorant trash are making comments on here. The most funny ones by far, are the claims that Grant Hill must be secretely gay. I don't know where some here have been, but actually, evidence shows the opposite is the case. The most anti-gay are the ones secretely gay. Ted Haggard, Senator Larry Craig(and other Republican anti-gay politicians), Eddie Long, George Rekers, are probably the best known. The anti-gay rhetoric is a defence mechanism, insecurity about being str8.

  • @dexterxyz gay much? or have you come out of the closet already? quit defending people who spread aids and can't live without a different man's cock up their hairy anus every other night.

  • @aesutton Fixated on gays and gay sex much? So were Ted Haggard and Eddie Long before they were outed. Why is it a concern for you, why are you even thinking about it? If you're straight and don't have sex with a man, you won't get AIDS from sex with a gay male. No one is forcing you to think of gay sex, nor to do it, so you're being defensive. If you're totally secure with being straight, my being gay and having gay sex has no affect on your life whatsoever/no reason for concern.

  • @dexterxyz By the way, anyone can get AIDS, gay or straight.

  • I was in a room full of guys when this aired and everyone said WTF? Then everyone said "that's so f'ing gay". It's called getting the opposite of what you intended....now everyone is saying it. Grant Hill must be on the down low to tape this stupid garbage.

  • I'm offensive and I find this gay.

  • i'm pretty sure being a faggot gay fuck is a form of retardation....and my opinion is actually fact.

  • @beefboy1990 what's a fact is that you are definitely a load that should've been douched down the toilet or swallowed. It would've made the world a better place. People like you really should be the poster children for the morning after pill

  • @mabdancer that was harsh man. that's something only a father would say that to his gay son. the only thing gays are good for is disappointing families and making fun of.

  • @beefboy1990 funny b/c I can guarantee that I haven't been a disappointment to my family, and as far as being made fun of....the people that do are still trying to gain the success that I have. The families that feel "disappointed" by having a gay child are the one who are a disappointment. But I was brought up that ignorance is a disappointment to the human race. Thank God I wasn't brought up in a barn and have a stellar background.

  • gay

  • What a gay commercial.

  • That shit was GAY!

  • I wish they'd make a video like this about the word "EPIC"!!

  • @johni43 I certainly find the word's (over)usage to be offensive.

  • i swear when i started watching this video the commercial came on tv

  • That buzzer sound they were making was Gay.

  • Sorry Grant I wasn't trying to be creative I was simply saying it was gay as all hell

  • I don't think Rudy Gay has a problem with it.

  • This video is gay and anyone who likes it is a fucking faggot

  • Comment removed

  • I have a gay brother in law who I call a fag/homo and he thinks it's funny as shit! He calls me a breeder. lol Do we need a commercial by the NBA saying: It's not okay and offensive to call a straight person a breeder? This type of crap ONLY MAKES PEOPLE WANT TO SAY IT EVEN MORE! lol

  • Dudley: "It's offensive to gay people"

    Hill: "And you're better than them"

  • @illeagle05 LOL!

  • @illeagle05 Grant Hill clearly said "you're better than that", not "you're better than them", they wouldn't put the commercial up otherwise.

  • @bulls7123 Your sense of humor is just gay.

  • This is gay

  • signed up for youtube just so i could ask why y'all gotta hate so damn much? what did a gay person ever do to you? a true man isn't scared of people who are different from him and doesn't have to puff himself up and hate on others to feel better about himself. why don't you chill the fuck out and stop trippin on what other people are doing with their dicks? peace out.

  • @qmoney6776 Tell that to GOD.

  • This country is going to shit when you have to pay to have a commercial made to support fuckin fags this is a disgrace to the NBA that players would actually be in this bullshit flamming fag commercial

  • so using the word 'gay' is offensive to GAY people huh jared ? stupid ass people I tell ya

  • shut up faggot. Kobe is my role model and he hates gay people.

  • @AdamElseify Kobe apologized for using "faggot". Pasted from Fox Sports---"..seeing how many people were affected, it helps you understand the weight that comes from that word," "That's why it's very important for me to communicate how sorry I am to use the word." "It's about getting that message out there man, to kill that word," he said. "Just don't use it, just don't use it. And hopefully others can learn from the situation that occurred and just knock that word out completely."

  • SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GAY!!!!

  • sure it's corny and poorly made, but the responses to this video are really disappointing

  • @jeejnc Political corectness is really disappointing.

  • LOL fuck these people!

  • Comment removed

  • Thumbs up if you came here just to comment about how gay it is.

  • "The only triple doubles you get come with fries!"

    I'm sorry, but that could be offensive to fat people.

    THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK NIGGER FAGGOT!

  • This is gay

  • Faggot

  • Freedom of speech baby, and this ad is just gay!

  • @MrDane634 Freedom of speech, there's a thought, baby. Yes, that's a basic fact. It doesn't make every single noise equal, intelligent and above more profound thought and further speech.

  • Jesus Tapdancing Christ...Why is it we are all of a sudden so PC about this crap? I think we're at a point in society where we can rag on each other without people getting offended. Seriously? Someone's basketball skills are gay is offensive? To Whom? What if John Amaechi played against you? He probably kick your ass in basketball even if his skills are gay...they are very effective.

  • @JokersRWildStudios Basic civility is not a new idea. If being PC means I don't capriciously rag/crap on a whole social group's identity, most of whom I don't even know, for something completely unrelated, then I'm proud to call myself PC.

  • @dexterxyz But please enough. Not any comment is meant to be offensive to describe something. South Park did this. It's just people some people are so overly sensitive about this because too many gay people got bullied and killed themselves. Is it sad yes, but it's not just gay people who get bullied. I've been made fun of because of my weight. I could say that i have a generic disposition to gain weight which would be true. And some people would look at me as a slob therefore I'm judged...

  • @dexterxyz ...I'm judged to be a slob. I don't see anyone saying don't call people obese people a fatass. I think being gay is a choice kinda of like being fat is a choice. Because I choose to eat junk food kind of like a gay person chooses to sleep with the same sex. BUT. I also believe that gay marriage should be legal because I believe that people should be able to do whatever that makes them happy without being judged or criticized. That goes for this think be4 you speak crap as well.

  • @JokersRWildStudios Gay teens are far more likely than any other category to comit suicide. That's not the only reason to think b4 speaking. It makes no sense to use gay to insult something, except as also a way to insult those gay-identified. Like that's so Jew or black or so being overweight to describe that I must work late. Uncalled for. Diet and exercise lead to weight loss. A gay person can never have sex for life, denying fundamental orientation. Not realistic though.

  • @dexterxyz It's a choice. You ultimately decide that. You have also may have a genetic disposition to it as well. Or your childhood shapes how your orientation is. But those feelings you choose to act upon them. The same way a person chooses to act on the hunger by going to mcdonalds. Some gay people never fully realize that they are gay until they're old. Why? Because they're brought up that way. The norm is being straight being gay never really crosses their mind. Therefore, gay=choice.

  • @JokersRWildStudios No, losing weight is more realistically attainable. People can repress it or hide it, for awhile, but they are still gay. It certainly did cross their minds b4

  • @dexterxyz Many gays also strongly feel they can't get it on with different sex, the way straights do about same sex. I just don't see aversion to diets & exercise being on that same level.

  • @JokersRWildStudios Having a certain childhood does not make you gay.

  • @dexterxyz Really? It doesn't? Explain to me why there are children who were victims of sexual abuse and ended up being gay. It's because its the first experiences they have in the life and it grows on them. So don't tell me you were born that way. Cuz that's crap. Most of the gay people I KNOW say something is gay in a stupid way and aren't offended when its used that way. I think the 5% of gay people need to get over themselves honestly. Because they aren't being ridiculed. Why So Sensitive?

  • @JokersRWildStudios American Psychiatric Assoc-no specific psychosocial or family dynamic cause for homosexuality has been identified, including histories of childhood sexual abuse

  • @JokersRWildStudios The American Psycological Assoc. says being gay emerges in early adolescence wtih no previous sexual experience. Your ignorance is shocking.

  • @JokersRWildStudios Pedophilia is separate from gay and straight. They want to believe they are laughing WITH instead of being laughed AT. You draw ignorant ppl to your circle.

  • @dexterxyz God you're an idiot. You're one of these pseudo-intellectuals who use Doctor's Opinions to support your argument no matter what it would be. The APA also at one point said that Homosexuality was a disease. (hmm) Your "evidence" is invalid therefore so is your argument. I'm speaking from my own experiences and my experiences are that gay people DO NOT care if you use the term gay as stupid as long as you respect them. THEY do it all the time. Stop being a damn troll and go eat balls.

  • @JokersRWildStudios APA is still a better authority than you. It changed position after the weight of empirical research showed gay isn't illness. Pedophilia, child sexual abuse by adults, has no link to gay or straight. Non-abused people will be gay and abused people will be straight and vice-versa. Your claim isn't even logical. If these are your stupid attitudes, you attract ignorant friends, gay and straight. The eat balls comment was as clever as eat vag.

  • @JokersRWildStudios Gays form passionate, loving, non-exploitive healthy human relationships(just like straight people). To try and link this with horrific instances of child sexual abuse is insulting and illogical.

  • @JokersRWildStudios I'd say people should stop and think before they call overweight people names.

  • this is gay!

  • What's wrong with having moves like Rudy Gay? The guy was saying your moves are bad like the Grizzlies. #corny

  • this ad is gay

  • Rudy GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

  • NBA is punishing their players for using offensive language..reminds me of being in Elementary when i would say a bad word in class smh

  • OH...and by the way, glsnvideo...u had absolutely no justifiable reason to block my other account. Ur one of those whiney thin skinned little girls I was refering to. U know, I miss the days when ppl could speak their mind whether it was popular or not, right or wrong. U dont want to listen to a homophobe? Dont listen. But u have no right to tell him he or her they cant feel that way, bottom line

  • Grant Hill is a great dude, but the first thing I thought when this went off was, "this commercial was gay"

  • GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­Y

    

  • hahahahah thanks grant, if i decide to insult a gay person i'll be sure to think of something creative.

  • @pkil232 You could be even more creative and focus on something of much greater interest about the person aside from the fact of being gay.

  • @dexterxyz thanks for the tip but i was being sarcastic...

  • Despite the whole message of this, Grant Hill implies it is ok to use "dumb" to mean "stupid". If you can't use 'gay' to mean stupid, why would it be ok to use 'dumb'? Just because dumb people are unable to speak does not mean they are stupid. The only reason you don't hear about 'dumb' people being upset about Grant's misuse of the word 'dumb' is that they can't speak. What a well thought out PSA...it's ok to offend dumb people but not gay people.

  • @havardofflint Agreed.

  • RUDY GAY

  • its the fucking intention, not the word. and i dont really appreciate being told what words i can use. in general, everbody seriously needs to stop being such pussies.

  • @ScrotyMcNutsack Agreed. And if you notice the people I've been trading blows with here, apparently a good deal of people don't get that.

  • @ScrotyMcNutsack You must consider others and their experiences, perceptions and feelings, in mutual respect. Don't use someone's identity as a slur because you're having a problem. I can't get the "damn Jewish computer" to work, but I didn't intend to insult my Jewish co-worker.

  • Sorry man, but you have to have thicker skin in this world. If I were to get pissed every time somebody insulted white ppl for instance just cuz im white, I would be one hella jaded man. Not to mention how ultimately pointless and wrong it is to try and police thought. The ppl who hate gays made up their mind on the subject and how can u try and appeal to a persons reason when they obviously had none to begin with

  • @WrestlingBC12 You've also spoken and tried to influence thought on the subject, by saying anti-gay people are hateful and unreasonable. There's no difference between you doing this and others who are essentially on the same page.

  • THIS COMMERCIAL IS GAY!!!

  • This video is gay.

  • the funniest part is where they go ehhhh! like a bunch of retards

  • this commercial and evryone in it is GAY

  • this commercial is gay

  • I have nothing against Gay people, but I so have something against Gay people shoving their agenda down my throat. I'm a proud straight man, and I don't have to accept the concept of same sexual relationships if I don't want to. Heterosexual people are now being shamed not be themselves by the Homo Media or to give their opinions disagreeing with Homosexuality.

  • fuck it this commercial is gay

  • Ok, so let me get this straight. Forgetting the fact that this commercial is already retarded (something else I'm not supposed to say, right?), what they're basically saying is this: you can trash talk all you want, which is meant to offend, but don't call someone gay, because it might offend? One of my best friends is gay, and even he laughs at this stupid shit. Whoever came up with this, they need to be stabbed. Seriously.

  • k bros this is fucked up what the hell some punk ass gay boy made this whats realy insulting is gay people when you see to guys makin out thats fucked up out of this world bro you know what im sayin just a plain dumb ass commercial and pointless as hell fuck ass bitch nigger wipe ass as can possibly get you could do this on anythign dont say awsome becuase its insulting to awomse people shit dude dam dude shit!!!!

  • God these comments are stupid hes basically saying make and effort to stop saying that everything is "gay" if something stupid you shouldn't say that its gay stupid things don't have a Sexuality

  • Dudley and Hill had their black cards revoked after the airing of this commercial.
