[Vision2020] Three time MVP for WNBA is gay

[Tom Hansen]

Mr. Dredge -

You are making a non-issue out of a non-issue, although Stern does make a
slight point in that there are three types of people in this world:  Those
who can count and those who can't.

I agree with Stern.

Although no players have publicly "come out", the Fourth Estate and the
American people have learned to live with diverse lifestyles in professional
sports ever since Magic Johnson and AIDS.

Speaking of diverse lifestyles - Somebody please explain Dennis Rodman to
me.

Seeya at the polls, Moscow.

The Great Sheryl Swoopes comes out...

What I found most disturbing about this article was
the following:

-- SNIP --
No man has ever come out while still active in the
major leagues of football, baseball, basketball or
hockey. If an NBA ever player did, commissioner David
Stern said, there'd only be one question:

``How many points? How many rebounds? I think that
it's a non-issue.''

-- end SNIP --

Is anyone else other than me bothered by David Stern's
statement that there would only be one question...and
then he asks TWO questions???  Very troubling.
