    This could be a deal breaker for Timmy.....


    Tony Parker apologized for uttering a gay slur during France’s overtime victory against Spain in the semifinals of the EuroBasket 2013 tournament.


    Parker said in the press conference following that game that France were playing like “tapettes” during a first half in which they trailed by double-digits. The world translates into loosely into fairy or , according to various online dictionaries.


    He apologized for the comment at a later press conference:

    “I’d like to apologize to the gay community. I did not want to offend them. If I have offended the gay community, I apologize. It was not my intention at all. It is not right to say what I said I’m sorry. And apologize.”


    France went on to crush Lithuania in Sunday’s final for its first European le.
    It should be noted that Parker issued a statement of support after fellow NBA player Jason Collins revealed his sexuality earlier this year.

    Kool, since you or Extra Stout are tight with Kori, and she's close to Duncan, why don't you get her to hook you up with Tim. I know you obsessed with that St. Croix nonstop, I hate to see a fail to realize his dreams.

    Can't believe there're derogative alternatives of the word "gay" in French, knowing that the majority of their population are sexuals (similar to Canada)
