Green Elephants (Why Josina Anderson kept it real on Michael Sam & his teammates)

 "Do you want a real answer to that question or not bruh?"

Plato once said, “Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.” Oscar Wilde, the famous Irish poet, set it off like Queen Latifah when he said, “By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.” Then Albert Camus, the French-Algerian Nobel Prize winning author, shut the joint down with, “The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.”

Well playboy…there is a lot of lack of understandin’ goin’ on around this piece which is fuelin’ the ignorance. Boyz are goin’ nuts about ESPN’s Josina Anderson’s report on Sports Center about how Michael Sam is gettin’ along with his teammates. When asked by the anchor in the studio in a live report how Sam was gettin’ along with his teammates she answered the freakin’ question and the social media and news media world exploded.

She simply said that a defensive player said that “Sam is respecting our space” and that from his perspective ole boy is kind of waitin’ to take a shower as not to make his teammates feel uncomfortable. Other players said that they haven’t been trackin’ it and that there could be a million reasons as to why etc.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! When the dun in the studio asked the freakin’ question there was only one road it was goin’ to go down playa! To ask how he’s gettin’ along with his teammates begs for only one answer bruh! In other words he said how are these young cats handlin’ the fact that they’ve got an openly gay player in the locker room. Nobody cares that he’s gay on the field while he’s playin’. He’s just another co-worker. All of these cats know someone that is gay. So workin’ alongside someone that is gay isn’t a big deal. They've grown up with cats that were gay.

The place where it gets uncomfortable for most people is goin’ to be when boyz gotta get in my Bernie Mac voice, “Bucket Naked” and get in the shower. That doesn’t make the players “Homophobic” it makes them naturally uncomfortable. As anyone would be whether we’re talkin’ about gay or straight individuals.

If they made an announcement at work today on your job that ALL employees had to get butt naked at 5pm and get in the shower together, men and women alike would be to some degree uncomfortable with it. If I’m a man that has an appetite for women and all of the women that work with me know that, then they would be uncomfortable with gettin’ in the shower with me even though we’ve got great relationships on the job. That doesn't make them heterophobic it makes them uncomfortable. However, if I were gay they wouldn’t be uncomfortable, if at all, because I don’t have an appetite for what they have.

So why wouldn’t it be normal if boyz were to some degree uncomfortable with Michael Sam gettin’ into a shower with duns that have appetites for women and he has one for men?

Therefore, the only freakin’ answer that was legitimately asked for with that line of questionin’ was the one that she gave. Everybody and their momma is lookin’ for that information anyway! So stop with this foolishness bruh! Everybody wants to know that information. Why? Because it’s something that is a new situation in an NFL locker room. We all know that when he’s on the field he’s no different than the rest of the guys. He’s a football player. But when boyz gets butt naked and get in the shower he’s different in the fact that he likes dudes. That naturally makes the straight cat uncomfortable.

"That's real talk bruh!"

And please don’t tell me that he’s a freakin’ robot and can turn off his natural appetite for men while he’s in the shower with duns that are built like gladiators. It is a proven psychological fact that men like what they see and women like what they feel. So since he's still a man he's gonna be turned up by what he sees. I'm talk in' but y'all ain't listenin'. 

Now a dude that likes women can be as professional as the day is long but if he gets in the shower with the volleyball team he’s gonna be checkin’ them out. He may not say a word or let them know that he’s watchin’ but he’s freakin’ watchin’ playa! Why? Because he has an appetite for women and he's a man! And guess what? They know that dun is watchin’ too!

Even a married and devoted husband is lookin’ at the artwork when it comes by. He just can’t touch it or knock anything off of the shelf pimpin’. So let’s stop actin’ like the green elephant standin’ in the middle of the room with his pants down crappin’ in the floor isn’t there. We all see it and somebody’s gotta admit that it’s there. Josina just told us that he was in the freakin’ room and boyz are mad that she was bold enough to give a real answer. Now I hope ESPN doesn’t punk out and suspend her for doin’ her job too. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
