My wife had invited her sisters from out of town, who invited some of their friends, and we were all sitting in my living room. I had also invited a handful of my buddies to come to the party. For whatever reason, a bunch of them bailed at the last minute. My wife asked me why they werent coming and I bombastically responded: "I dont know; they are a bunch of f**s". One of my sister-in-laws friends is gay, he was sitting right there. Foot. In. Mouth. I vehemently and immediately apologized, but until that moment I never realized how often and recklessly I used that word; how I was a full on perpetuator of casual homophobia. From then on I made a conscious choice to cut those words out of my vocabulary, I didnt want to feel like I felt that Halloween night. I also started to notice more and more when other people were using it. And by far, the biggest social sanctuary for this terminology was the locker room. This got me to thinking, why would guys talk like that in the dressing room but not anywhere else? Why was it seemingly ok to drop an "F-bomb" on the bench, but not in the street? Then I thought, wait a minute, has there ever been an active openly gay major sport athlete on this continent? Out of the thousands upon thousands of guys who have played in the "big four"? Man, that is crazy if you think about it. There must be a reason why. Why gay athletes feel they have to disguise themselves and be something they arent. I think one of the reasons is what happened in my apartment on Halloween night. That is how ReOrientation was born. Gio Gonzalez Jersey . Then Klay Thompson put his foot on the gas.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers still havent solved their dilemma at shortstop, which came about because of an injury to Jose Iglesias. On Wednesday, general manager Dave Dombrowski ruled out Iglesias for the season -- and the Tigers called up one of their better prospects, hoping he can provide some immediate help. Detroit recalled Eugenio Suarez from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday and designated infielder Danny Worth for assignment. The 22-year-old Suarez has hit .302 since being promoted to Toledo. Dombrowski announced the move before Wednesday nights game against Toronto, at the same time he confirmed the Tigers dont expect Iglesias back. Iglesias has not played in 2014. He was initially expected to miss several months when the severity of his injuries became clear during spring training. "He continues to make progress, the doctors happy with the progress he made, but at this point, he basically has been ruled out for the season," Dombrowski said. "We had always thought that, but we had maintained maybe a little bit of hope there." Detroit acquired Iglesias from Boston in a trade in the middle of last season, and he ended up finishing second in the American League rookie of the year vote. The Tigers lead the AL Central, but they had lost 11 oof 15 entering Wednesdays game, with the bottom of their batting order struggling to produce.dddddddddddd. Shortstop Andrew Romine was hitting .200 through 39 games. Romine remained in the starting lineup Wednesday, but the Tigers want to see what they have in Suarez, who was ranked by Baseball America as Detroits eighth-best prospect before the season. "Hes got some good hands, hes swung the bat well in the minors," manager Brad Ausmus said. "But Id be very careful as to heap too much pressure on this young kid." The Tigers acquired Romine and Alex Gonzalez shortly before the start of the season to play shortstop, and Gonzalez did not even last until the end of April. Now that free agent shortstop Stephen Drew has re-signed with Boston, the Tigers may need to try to trade for someone at that position if their internal candidates continue to flounder. Worth hit .167 in 20 games, and his most notable contribution was probably as an emergency relief pitcher. At the end of two blowout losses last month, he took the mound and showed off a startlingly good knuckleball. "Hes done everything we asked, to an extreme, really," Ausmus said. "No one wants to hear bad news. He was very professional about it." Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' ' |
