He made the league minimum this year and if he plays next year it will be the same deal...most likely. The league minimum is roughly $1.4 million. Since 2001 he has made roughly $40 million.

Apparently homosexuality runs in his family. He grew up in a lesbian household.

I figured it would have been Lebron James. Possibly Shaq although his career is over now. But I'm in the "Don't tell, Don't care" camp. Actually if it shakes a team up and spurs some controversy and some fans joking rival fans about it it can only make professional sports more interesting.

I guess this means he can't volunteer as a Boy Scout leader. Shaking my index finger in shame at the Boy Scouts.
