I'm pretty sure that can get you arrested. (Just thought the wording was funny lol)

Seriously though, for your statement to make any sense at all would have required Woods and Jordan to have outed their cheating themselves and heavily publicized it.

Being hounded by paparazzi and the media over infidelity is not throwing it in the face of others.

You might want to use Wilt Chamberlain or Ron Jeremy as examples instead?

( don't forget, sports is all about being on a team, and they are competitive natured people. Focus and drive is what it is.

Would a coach really want this BS distraction..? no way, they are on a mission to win and gotta be a unit...as in unity.
There is no "I" in "Team".

Reading through these comments Ive come to understand the media has prob pulled the trigger on most of the motivating interest in the issue...just to create a big stir and reason to tune in and start all the participation and arguing. The media is starting to get on my nerves.

Isn't it - fascinating - how the anti-gay brigade immediately starts thinking of lithe, toned, naked male bodies in the shower whenever this subject is raised?

Look at how the breeding agenda is crammed down our throats!



Nobody cares about the sexual lives of famous people! It's not like we have a billion dollar gossip news industry that focuses on the sexual exploits of celebs or something! Keep it in the bedroom because nobody wants to hear about it!
