RJ: It's raining men

[Sisk]

If that photo goes viral, he might as well just come out. Go on Oprah's couch, the cover of people, ride a parade float. I mean , everybody KNOWS. At this point he might as well get credit for being the first openly gay male professional American athlete.

And then his teammates can all pony up to build him his own, personal locker room.

I thought this same thing tbh

[balli]

Second, I don't see how this picture somewhat show his gayness.

Are you kidding me? That picture's gayer than show tunes. There's a guy with a pirate crest on his shirt. There are bulging penises in short shorts. There's a fruity beverage complete with multiple straws. I mean, it pretty much looks like the cast from Eye. What naive bubble are you living in where that picture's not the gayest thing you've ever seen?

Personally, I think that picture is so over the top gay that it has to be a photoshop job. If it isn't, then , RJ isn't just gay- he's utterly flaming.

[Bruno]

I guess TP is also gay...

[cantthinkofanything]

I guess TP is also gay...

Yes. This is why we should trade him for Chris Paul.

[doobs]

I guess TP is also gay...

no, just creepy and foreign

[Dex]

Well, I only see four straws.

I don't really see the gayness in sharing a drink with some friends and wearing short-shorts while the weather was likely very hot. It's sure that these guys don't wear "virile" clothes but I don't see how it makes him gay.

I would normally concede to the wisdom of Bruno...but we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.

IMO, this picture looks more than hetero. Sure, excuses can be made for everything, but first appearances are what they are.

Quite honestly, as long as he shows up on the goddamn court next season, hits his threes, and plays like he deserves the money the Spurs gave him, I could really care less.

And this thread is useless without....

[howbouthemspurs]

That explains everything!

[beachwood]

Coaches wont scheme against RJ cause hes gay. Players who already know hes gay wont view him as a threat. Believe me. It seems many guys here have forgotten high school and middle school.

No one would be threatened by him. Hes a gay guy. The only way he would be able to get any kind of real respect from other NBA players would be him earning it by playing hard nosed defense or scoring at will. Both at which we all know he doesnt do.

It seems like most players dont like RJ to begin with either. From watching basketball it seems like most players dont have a ton of respect for him. Add in the fact that hes a closet sexual that everyone pretty much knows....Hes a butt of alot of locker room jokes and that is enough to be viewed as a weak spot on a championship team.

With all due respect, you should just stop. You're getting dumber by the second with your takes. Maybe I have forgotten about high school and middle school because I'm a grown man and don't act the way I did when I was 13. I'm sorry that you do. But you should really grow up.

[cantthinkofanything]

I can't start new threads but would someone please start a "Trade RJ for Britney Griner" thread? I think we could use his toughness.

I definitively agree that this picture looks a little gay but it's far from meaning that he is gay. It's not like he is kissing another guy. Heck, maybe some guys on the pictures are gays. Straight guys can have gay friends.

RJ said that he isn't gay. Given that I don't care about it and that I've no reason to be interested in his private life, I don't see the point of calling him gay because of a "strange" pic.

Its ok if youre offended. I dont hate gay people. I just say what I think. I say what I evaluate. Not everyone is Pro-Gay. Ask Tim Hardaway. Plus most athletes cant say what they really feel. For fear of losing endorsements and hearing critisism from people such as yourself.

I dont care if hes gay or not on a personal level. But I love my Spurs. Going from a hard nosed, take no prisoners, dirty playing Bruce Bowen to this is pretty dissapointing. Being a closet gay guy doesnt bode well with me and maybe for most of the Spurs players also. They wont come out and say it though...

Yes, straight guys can have gay friends but they don't suck each other's wieners. That's where the grey area turns black or white.

[ChumpDumper]

Many posters here seem really interested in this.

A little too interested....

[cantthinkofanything]

This just in. The Spurs are going to discontinue Richard Jefferson jerseys and instead offer an RJ chaps and spurs kit.

There sure are a lot of insecure posters on this board.

I wouldn't call him gay just based on this photo but c'mon, dude canceled his 2 million dollar wedding with a fine ass chick like it was nothing. He's always seen hanging out with Luke, there have been a bunch of rumors etc. and now this photo comes out.


I personally could care less if RJ is gay, he's the same person he's always been, nothing has changed. I don't judge people based on their sexual preference like most idiotic people do.


The NBA is filled with a bunch of dumb asses, I'd bet almost every NBA player is phobic. Of course RJ would deny it, his friends probably wouldn't accept him being gay. The ONLY NBA player to come out of the closet was Amaechi in 2007, just 3 years ago.

[TD 21]

First, I don't care if RJ is gay or not.
Second, I don't see how this picture somewhat show his gayness.

You can't be serious?

Everything about it screams gay.

The picture you posted of Parker appears to be a photo shoot. It's not unheard of for professional athletes to do photo shoots with their shirts off.

This is different. Very different.

Get off your highhorse.
I really don't think anyone here is judging RJ on his sexual preference.
I'll be first in line cheering him on when he does something on the court worth of the money he is making.

But the orignal picture is so gay that is just makes me giggle and I can't help but laugh at him putting other men's tallywhackers in his poop hole.

[ohmwrecker]

Everything about it screams gay.

Everything about saying something "screams gay" is even gayer.

LMAO.
I have a mental image of the fat gay guy from Modern Family saying this to the red head gay guy.

[eric365]

First I'm Ok with RJ being gay if this true. He can do everything he want as long as we don't have private pictures scandal ala George Hill

And that's true that we have seen picture way more gay in the past with persons not gay:


I just found the situation really funny and I can't wait to see what Pistons<Spurs will do with such material

Who cares, seriously? I mean who cares at all? His sexual orientation doesn't matter at all. If he's gay then that's awesome and I hope that he is able to open up about it someday. If he isn't then that's awesome and I hope people stop insinuating things about him because of their own insecurities and bigotry.

phobia in sports is a sad thing and hopefully there will be a time when gay sports players (of which there are probably quite a few) are able to be public about it and not ridiculed.

It's sad that criminals in sports are run-of-the-mill and nobody cares at all but any hint that a man is interested in other men and they need their own locker room or shouldn't be on the team or are weak etc. It's disgusting to be honest.

As for the picture, nothing about it screams gay to me. No, they don't look like lumberjacks, but a lumberjack can be gay as well. They look different than the average American man, but they wouldn't look out of place in Europe at all.

Again, that's a photo shoot. Obviously whoever put the thing together requested they do something stupid like that.
