John Amaechi, Former NBA Player, Talks Being Gay, Career Advice

[vitormangraviti]

Answer that, men: Would you feel ok with being naked in front of a gay man?

Answer tthat, women: Would you feel ok with being naked in front of a lesbian?

Did you know that these players share the changing room? Share the shower room?

It is obvious they don't like fags. Who likes that kind of disgusting thing?

[camdash]

hes i the hall of fame lol????? dot think so he was a good back up center AT most

[9987666]

This dude is not in the NBA HAll of Fame lmao

[Kaaav]

@9987666 Relax guys, this dude only averaged 6.2 ppg und 2.6 rpg. The reason why he actually is in the hall of fame, however, is because he scored the first basket in the new millennium for the NBA.

[TheBassoProfondo]

why does it say NBA Hall of Famer under his name? He is not in the Hall of Fame.

[0Elise0Dozzy2]

He came to my school and my class got to talk about bullying with him, i have his signature !

[PrisonerNumber9653]

You "beg to differ" with the PROOF that it's not an illness, and want to whine about decent people being angry at your bigotry and the destruction and misery it causes?

They know for a fact being gay is chosen and cannot be altered, there is no "treatment" that ignorance and bigotry is the only reason anyone ever thought it was a disorder.

[yoe91]

My God, poor brits...the only fkr from there had to be a faggot, didn't he ?!! lol...

Oh my, I'm sorry for being so blunt and unsensitive and ignorant and intolerant....you can continue the list if you want, I'm way bored with clichés...

[PrisonerNumber9653]

@yoe91 It's not "blunt", it's just hateful and idiotic. There are just as many gay people in America as in England, moron.

Sadly, we have MORE of our share of bigots.

[yoe91]

@PrisonerNumber9653 oh yeah, that too...

I also apologize for being "hateful and idiotic", didn't realize I was but if you say so...oh, and being a "moron"...

but at least it is "not blunt", wow, that's a relief ! woohoo !

Whoooo !! That's a whole lot for just one little joke hehee.....(I'll try not to make a joke about blacks, arabs or fags next time so I'm socially accepted on youtube...yay....)

thaaaaaaaanks Prisoner !

[PrisonerNumber9653]

@yoe91 Go to hell. You use vicious slurs for HUMAN BEINGS, and then pretend it's about being "socially acceptable"? What an asshole.

Here's a clue for you, this kind of hate KILLS PEOPLE. Fuck "socially acceptable," how about WRONG, or do you just not give a damn about anyone but yourself.

Calling people filthy, vicious names isn't a joke. Ask Matt Shepherd's parents how funny they think some shithead saying "fag" is, that's the last word he heard before being tortured to death.

[yoe91]

@PrisonerNumber9653 I'm sorry, I guess I didn't notice they were HUMAN BEINGS, just human beings with mental dysfunction.

You can't call me an asshole, it's offensive to fags. That makes you an "idiotic, hateful moron" too you know...

I'm toying with you, this is just quite a bit of fun for me Prisoner. I studied philosophy and know my around psychology a little bit, so my views on homosexuality are quite founded.

If gay people react so excessively to the word "fag", isn't that the proof of...

[yoe91]

@yoe91 PATHOLOGY....to simply follow your footsteps (before actually landing on actual rational and coherent grounds of course....ahemm)

btw, I'm done with you, my fun's over...

c ya !

[PrisonerNumber9653]

@yoe91 Listen to this, you son of a bitch--

Ask Matt Shepherd's family how much "fun" they think hate of gay people is? Ask them if you think this is "toying".

Your bigotry and lies KILL PEOPLE.

[yoe91]

@PrisonerNumber9653 honestly dude, seriously, look at what you've written.

KKK...lowlife, various insults...

For your own sake, think about all the thoughtless, unjustified and irrelevant hatred you've put into your messages.

Don't you feel a little bit small ?

I know for a fact it's a psychological illness,through instinct and rationality... and some day it'll be out in the open, I know the American Institute of Psychology have called it normative since the 60's, but I beg to differ.

[PrisonerNumber9653]

@yoe91 Lie. It's been proven for DECADES that it is NOT a "mental dysfunction"

I absolutely CAN call you an asshole, it's what you are. I'm not a "hateful moron," YOU are the one using vicious slurs for groups of people. You're as bad as a racist. You're as bad as a KKK scumbag using the N-Word.

Your views on homosexuality are based in hate and lies. You haven't studied past 5th grade if you think it's a "mental disfunction". You're just a bigoted lowlife.

[OmarChannel]

LMAO read what it says in the video NBA HALL OF FAMER "JOHN AMAECHI"...Are you kidding me this guy sucked and was waived from the league cause he sucked and was gay.

[k1harding]

Did he really have to say "penetrating that culture" haha

[it8nky0u]

Fucking faggot..

[DaveTheBrave53]

omg , he is a man of shame ...

[AveolarD]

saw this guy in the supermarket - he was so nice. i think athletes should just play ball. their personal life is nobody's business. while i like this guy, I am not sure if i would have shared my preference with the world. just be known as a good athlete, not a good gay athlete. play the system and don't let the system play you.

[OmarChannel]

How can you play the game when you have a gay guy on your team? Don't you understand they go in the same change room, in the same shower place, basketball is a physical touching sport; It doesn't matter if he's nice or not in the end of the day he's gay - There's no room for gay people in the Nba, sorry this is the opinion of the players not the fans.

[AveolarD]

@OmarChannel dude, my dad is an agent in los angeles and i hate to inform you that there are gay nba players as well as gay football players. the numbers are not large, but they do exist. they play the sport.  they also have girlfriends. your turn............

[sibais]

@OmarChannel opinion of the players??

so you play in the nba?

[ruhtraeel]

@OmarChannel

Dude. Gay people aren't going to hit on you just cause they're gay. Just like how straight people don't instantly start hitting on any woman they see. It doesn't work like that. In retrospect, it's really not that exciting. This is just a gay guy who happens to like basketball.

[PrisonerNumber9653]

@OmarChannel Lie. The players for the VAST majority don't care. They're not 10 year olds, they know a gay guy isn't going to molest them in the shower. If a guy can play, they don't care if he's gay any more than they care if he's black or white or Muslim or Hindu or whatever.

[dcflava74]

@OmarChannel Those who have as much haterade gainst gays are probaly ones themselves in the closet.I mean why have so much hatred and judgement against people who havent do anything to you or dont even know you.My advice is go on with your own life and mind your own business.I dont agree with homosexuality but they are not bothering me,why waste my time with so much judgement and animosity.

[Has1b]

@dcflava74 I just voiced my opinion, I don't believe gay's should be in the Nba; I don't have hatred against them or what not, I don't give a shit to be honest, there are all types of queer retarded people in this world..

[dcflava74]

@Has1b Okay you said queer and retarded which are both deragatory terms you say that you dont have any hatred towards gays but then you say gays do not belong in the NBA,why not,why should a persons sexual orientation should limit them or preven them from doing what they love to do.Most gay people that I know know better not to force their ways on straight people anyway.Its people like you sir who causes this great divide that we have now in this country.

[dcflava74]

@Has1b Also the bible says "He who is without sin may cast the first stone".In God's eyes no matter what we do we are all sinners and God doesnt view anyone either more or less.

[naples2sicily]
