Larry Johnson says he'd be 'uncomfortable' with gay teammate

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/ey...a-gay-teammate

With almost universal praise and acceptance across the league for Jason Collins and his announcement that he is gay, one former NBA player is going in the other direction.

Larry Johnson, who played 10 seasons with the Knicks and Hornets, tweeted Monday that he would've been "uncomfortable" having a gay teammate.

I don't know Jason Collins personally but he seems like a great guy. Me personally gay men in the locker room would make me uncomfortable.

— Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2) April 29, 2013

Ppl ! this is nothing against Jason or homosexual's,all I'm saying is this don't belong in a man's locker room.

— Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2) April 30, 2013

I don't judge anyone!! I have fallen shortof the grace of Allah myself, but stop trying to make this acceptable.

— Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2) April 30, 2013

Johnson last played in 2001, and things have certainly progressed quite a bit since his time in the league. He also recently converted to Islam.

Johnson also used multiple tweets responding to people, saying he didn't see a difference between a gay player being in the locker room and a woman being in it.

"thx you for your comment SIR, homosexuality is nothing to fear,I don't think it belongs in a mans locker room," he responded to one person. "here's a man that say he's attracted to other men. Now he's walking around a locker room with naked man ... I'm attracted to women,is it ok for me to walk around a women's locker room naked, and they be naked."

One thing that could complicate Johnson's matters: He's currently works for the Knicks as a business and basketball operations representative.

As of Tuesday evening, Johnson's tweets still stand and have not been deleted.

Sooo...the HomoHOF will have the following inductees:

Collins
The entire WNBA
Martina Navratilova

I think it's still a bit too early in the "coming out revolution" to start a HOF. The eligible field isn't big enough yet.

This isn't going to be enough.

It won't really count until an Ray Lewis comes out as a "power bottom".

I mean, if we need to know about the sexual habits of athletes, they had better get with the program so that power tops aren't given preferential treatment to the bottoms.



I just don't care about it. Just play your sport well. I don't need to know.

How confused will the media be when the question is posed as to why a team hasn't signed him yet and an owner says "well, because he sucks".

what does that mean?!! OMG
