The question, from Huffington Post editor Alana Horowitz: “I’m wondering if you think that organizations and players and athletes need to be more inclusive of gay athletes and more welcoming toward the gay community in general.”
Jackson’s response: “That’s a ridiculous question. None of us have probably ever seen it in all our careers. There’s no inclusiveness to be had. I’ve never run into it in all my career.”
Why did it have to be a cunt who asked a question like that anyway? First of all, women have no say in men’s sports. They have no reason to comment on it. I understand it may be good for company business to invite women to do commentary but it’s a man’s sport.
I see this type of questioning in the same way as I see the breast cancer awareness month in NFL where they have to wear pink. Feminists and gay rights is a 1-2 combo like Kershaw and Grienke. They help each other out. When women get involved in this type of shit it’s because they generally hate the men’s world of sports and want to change it internally.
Phil Jackson is right in saying it’s ridiculous because the questioning is ridiculous. Gay men are of course in the NBA and who cares? As long as they are good at the sport more power to them to join in.
