ok so anything is possible and never say "never" i get that. I mean maybe in 2089 gays will be "fully accepted" but I doubt it. The question is what turn of events will cause this revolution to accept homosexuals in team sports mainly basketball. Theres a better chance of a offensive lineman or kicker being accepted than a NBA player.
Unless top 5 player in the league comes out the closet it won't happen. Who knows maybe Blake Griffin will come out and change everything next year. But any business yes NBA teams are a business is going to distance itself from that. Do you guys think that the gay population is going to increase? Do you think that owners, GMs, coaches will be gay too? For something like that to fully accepted means that % of those people will be in the league.
If you guys wanna call me the bad guy then go ahead but I know for a fact that if a dude that was a non-star came out he would get blackballed. No teams would touch him. Even in 2089 kissing another man will weird and different. What % of the population is gay anyways? Take that small % and add in the % of guys how make the league. I'm not sure outta 450 guys more than 2 will be gay.
Lets be serious if you are gay your mentality and stuff you are drawn to will be different. I just don't see gay guys playing years of AAU, playing D-1, then making the league. It could happen but it doesn't. Sports is about being an alpha male and that will never change. Being a homosexual will cause controversy and that will never change. If you are a athlete then you know what I mean. I wouldn't personally have a problem with it as long as he helps me win, but I don't think an organization is prepared to see one of their players holding hands and kissing other men. Plus alot of people have religious beliefs that will never allow them to accept it.
Don't compare this to the black struggle.
