Charles Barkley says NBA is filled with GAY’s



Charles Barkley spoke with sports reporter Mike Wise and told them his views on Homosexuality in the NBA. Now we all know Mr. Barkley is know for having a strong opinion on everything but he remains one of the most respected players and sports commentators. The interview was sparked by the recent coming out of Rick Welts, CEO of the Phoenix Suns the last team of Barkley.

“I really like ESPN. They do a great job. But like once every two or three months, they bring all these people on there, and they tell me how me and my team are going to respond to a gay guy.

“First of all, every player has played with gay guys. It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say: ‘Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.’ First of all, quit telling me what I think. I’d rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can’t play.”

And when asking his views about being in the locker room and showers with gay teammates, He had this to say:

“A guy is never going to put himself in that situation in a professional locker room. It never crossed my mind, and I never felt any different about the guy.”

“They’re not going to do anything in the locker room. Doesn’t work like that.”

“Any professional athlete who gets on TV or radio and says he never played with a gay guy is a stone-freakin’ idiot. I would even say the same thing in college. Every college player, every pro player in any sport has probably played with a gay person.”

“First of all, society discriminates against gay people. They always try to make it like jocks discriminate against gay people. I’ve been a big proponent of gay marriage for a long time, because as a black person, I can’t be in for any form of discrimination at all.”

“We gossiped behind each other’s back before; I’ll be the first to admit that. The first people who whine and complain is them Bible-thumpers, who are supposed to be non-judgmental, who rail against them.[…] I don’t worry about what other people do.”

This whole story doesn’t surprise me at all because while working on the Porsche Fox show, we had a Male celebrity guest who spoke on all the “relations” he had with basketball players both Married and UnMarried! I don’t know about you but NO COMMENT.

    I hate the fact that ppl think just b.c ur “gay’ u can’t play ball. Not all gay ppl are attracted to all straight ppl. Anyone who thinks other wise is hiding some questions about there own sexuality.
