Fraud (Why Michael Sam finally had to tell boyz who he REALLY was)

 

"Aight dawg! You got me!"

As I’m standin’ out in front of the barber shop choppin’ it up with the fellas on a cool Friday night these two cats start arguin’ about the art of fraud. Sophocles, the ancient Greek tragedian or actor is you will, hit a boy with, “Rather fail with honor than success by fraud.” David Chang, the famous restauranteur fired back with, “I constantly think I’m a fraud – that his success is not warranted or justified.” Then Sophocles came right back like a G and hit a boy in the juggler when he said, “Things gained through unjust fraud are never secure.”

Well playas…Sophocles must have been sittin’ in the ride with ole dull Michael Sam when he wrote both of those joints. And I was sittin’ in the back seat on the phone with the rest of the world tellin’ you boyz more than a year and a half ago that the dun was a fraud but y’all wouldn’t listen to me. Well on Friday he finally told the world who he was when he decided to quit the game of football. Now these media-types will use the phrase “decided to step away” to make it sound better playa. But you already know that I don’t have time for foolishness so Ima call balls, balls and strikes, strikes. And this joint is right down the middle of the plate. Stevie Wonder and Helen Keller could see this foolishness down the street hidin’ in the bushes.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Like I told you boyz two February’s ago that Michael Sam tried to hustle or should I say bully the NFL into givin’ him a job on the sole strength of bein’ gay. Not because he could play the game of football. When the dun was at the Senior Bowl he saw where his talent stacked up to boyz and he put his plan into full effect.

When he left the Senior Bowl in January of 2014 the word on the street was that Sam would be at best a 3^rd to 5^th round pick. So this dun told the world that he was gay. Why? Because bein’ gay was worth more than just bein’ a football player that just happened to be gay. Who walks into a job interview and announces that they’re gay? C’mon bruh!

I knew the hustle was in when he showed up at the combine and more than 400 reporters were waitin’ to holler at a dun that was merely a 3^rd to 5^th round pick.

Then ole boy walks in and says out of his own mouth that, “I don’t want to be known as Michael Sam the gay football player. I want to be known as Michael Sam the football player.” Now I don’t know where you’re from but if he wanted to be “Michael Sam the football player” he never would have told boyz that he was gay. Why? Because his sexuality has absolutely nothin’ to do with his ability to do his job. Now you can stop me when I start trippin’ over here.

So ole Mike was not only hustlin’ the league but the world around him. Everybody fell for it but me. Why? Because I grew up around hustlas and thieves and I can see a hustle gettin’ out of the car down the street on a foggy day.

First of all, he was way too small to play defensive tackle and way too slow to play linebacker in the NFL. So essentially there was no position for that dun to play. Then he goes out and has probably the worst combine workout in the history of the freakin’ combine. So on draft day the St. Louis Rams hustled him by draftin’ him in the last and final round darn near at the bottom of the draft.

He wasn’t worthy of bein’ drafted but he was worth too much bread to St. Louis not to draft. They didn’t need him because at the time they had one of the best front 4’s in the league. So there wasn’t a snow balls chance in hell of him makin’ that team. Not because he was gay but because they didn’t need him.

However, they were able to sell out of season tickets even before trainin’ camp started and they sold that dun’s “make believe jersey” all summer. It was make believe because he hadn’t made the team yet. It was the No.1 sellin’ jersey in the NFL last summer and he wasn’t even on the freakin’ team. When they finished milkin’ the cow they cut him. You can stop me when I start drivin' the car into the guard rail playboy!

Then Jerry Jones got in on the hustle and signed him to the practice squad with the Dallas Cowboys. Why? Because at the time nobody thought that they were gonna be any good. Nobody saw them jumpin’ out of the gate winnin’ last year. NOBODY!!!! So Jerry wanted the circus as a Plan B if his Boys turned out to be trash. However, they were good and they didn’t need the dun after a back 6 games so they cut him. Why? Because I told you when I spotted the hustle that there is no position for him to play bruh. It like a dun that's 5'8" 300lbs showin' up to an NBA tryout!

Everybody wanted Michael Sam to be the “One” but he wasn’t and I tried to tell you boyz that. There is a gay football player out there that can ball out and he’s probably already in the league but it ain’t Mike! Sam wanted to be famous not a football player and he accomplished his goal so now he can keep it movin’.

If he were half as good as most of you cats thought that he was he would have been able to ball out in Canada when he went up there. Instead, he went up there and made a fool of himself again. When he went to Montreal he ended up leavin’ the team for two weeks because he broke up with his boyfriend. Who does that bruh? People break up with folks everyday and go to work. How does he take off for two weeks when he’s tryin’ to earn a spot on the team? Will somebody please tell me that?

He only played in 1 freakin’ game and the dun didn’t record a single tackle in the freakin’ Canadian League. Stop tellin’ me that he got the shaft in the NFL or that boyz were trippin’! He couldn’t play like I told you he couldn’t more than a year ago and you called me a homophobe. Now somebody owes me an apology and you know who you are.

I’m not a homophobe bruh, I could care less what a boy does and who he does it with. I just keep it real when everybody else is afraid to say what’s real. Michael Sam got his 30 minutes of fame and had to realize that fame comes with a cost. You gotta be good enough to sustain it. He quit because he wasn’t good enough to be famous. Kim Kardashian is the only dun that has been able to do that bruh. Now you can keep readin’ those other cats but you’ll always have to come back my way to get the truth! Stop me when I start lyin’!

 Playas Thesaurus:

1)    Dun: the person in question, dude, guy. Etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about bruh and its non-gender specific.

Holla At Ya Boy!

American Hustle (How Jerry Jones and Michael Sam just won the SuperBread Bowl in Dallas)

"I win again playboy!"

David Bailey, the English fashion and portrait photographer, once said, “To get rich, you have to be making money while you’re asleep.” John D. Rockefeller pulled out a long Cuban cigar, cut it and said, “I have ways of making money that you know nothing of.” Then Scott Alexander, the famous writer and producer, stood up and shouted, “Making money is a hobby that will complement any other hobbies you have, beautifully.”

He must have been readin’ ole Jerry Jones’ mind playboy because he’s gotten so good at makin’ money you would think that he’s printin’ it down in Dallas. The Cowboys are worth a ridiculous $3 billion and countin’! So it only makes sense that when the St. Louis Rams finally made a football decision to cut defensive end Michael Sam and all the bread that comes with him, Jerry swooped in like a bald eagle to make a money decision. It makes sense to me if all you're about is your bread. I would have done it without blinkin'.

Don’t get it twisted playa, the owner of the Rams didn’t want ole boy to go anywhere because he made them relevant over the past four and a half months. They sold out of season tickets and Michael Sam had the seventh best sellin’ jersey in the league and he wasn’t technically in the league. Wheredeydodatat?

I’m surprised that they let all of that bread walk too. However, the Rams made a football decision to move on. Why? Because they’ve got football people makin’ football decisions and the owner has allowed the duns he’s hired to do their jobs.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Jerry Jones is about that paper playboy and nobody is gonna tell him how to run his business. How do I know that? Because he’s the freakin’ owner, the general manager and the president of the team. Who does that? Makin’ money and only makin’ money is important to him because the team is worth $3 billion and they’ve only won one playoff game since 1996! Wheredeydodatat?

Jerry is not makin’ decisions with football in mind bruh. This is the same dun that wanted to draft Johnny Football this past spring but somehow boyz were able to talk him down off of the roof. The hostage negotiators were able to get the gun out of his hand without him blowin’ his head off. Now why on earth would the Cowboys need to waste a first round pick on a quarterback when they’ve got a freakin’ quarterback that they just paid $100 million? Because Jerry saw dollar signs with Johnny. Manziel is from Texas and they adore him down there. When Jerry does things please understand that he’s lookin’ for bread not wins and most importantly his ego is runnin’ amuck.

This is the same dun that charges $90 just to park and tailgate bruh! He’s hittin’ boyz off for more than $90 for standin’ room only seats at the game. For all of you simple minded individuals that means that he’s chargin’ boyz to stand up at the game. There are no seats in that section! He’s even hittin’ boyz off for $20 for a steak sandwich at AT&T Stadium formally Cowboys Stadium. How and why? Because the Cowboys fans are just as gullible as Chicago Cubs fans bruh. They’ll buy whatever he’s sellin’ and won’t blink even if the team sucks and that they do year end and year out. Why? Because the team is worth $3 billion and is consistently a .500 team. That’s beyond terrible.

Keep in mind that this is the same dun that sold Super Bowl tickets a few years ago and didn't have enough seats for the Green Bay fans to sit down! Remember that? Boyz traveled all the way from Wisconsin and couldn't sit down! In my Marshawn Lynch voice, "He's about that paper boss!"

Even when Jerry thinks that he’s makin’ football decisions he’s not makin’ any sense. Remember back in 2007 when he hired Wade Phillips as his head coach? He had already hired Jason Garrett as Wade’s offensive coordinator before Wade even took the freakin’ job. Who goes out and hires a head coach's coordinator before he even hires the coach? The head coach brings his own staff with him bruh. So was anybody surprised that Wade didn’t last long and that they underachieved? That’s that foolishness I’m talkin’ about.

I’ll guarantee that Jerry will find a way to sell the first practice squad jersey in the history of the league. Cats are goin’ to eat it up because the world wants to see Michael Sam succeed even if he’s not good enough to. And don’t get it twisted pimpin’, Jerry is gonna make sure that he plays. At some point ole boy is gonna show up on the 53-man roster even if they’ve got to cut the kicker to make room for him. He’s gonna play! Why? Because he’s worth too much money to the Cowboys not to. Why? Because Jerry Jones is the owner, general manager and president! There are no filters to go through when decisions are made in Dallas. There is no discussion playa. Everything is Jerry’s World.

Again, the owner in St. Louis wanted Sam but the GM and the coach didn’t because he didn’t fit with what they were tryin’ to do from a football standpoint. Therefore, the owner allowed them to do their jobs even if it cost him some bread. If it were up to Jeff Fischer and the GM they never would have drafted him. Why? Because they’ve got one of the best defensive front fours in the NFL.

Ok, let me put it where the goats can get it. It would be like the Indianapolis Colts draftin’ a quarterback in the seventh round. The chances of that dun makin’ the team would be none to none because they’ve got Andrew Luck and a solid back up. So clearly Jeff Fischer and the GM didn’t make that draft pick. They just had to ride with it because it was the owner’s call. It was the owner tryin’ to be progressive and relevant when the player just didn’t fit with what they were tryin’ to do.

Jerry Jones isn’t concerned with winnin’ football games though. He’s concerned with makin’ that bread and if he makes the playoffs then that’s cool but not necessary. Why? Because he hasn’t won but one playoff game since 1996! However, for him, signin’ Michael Sam will be like winnin’ the Super Bowl because the Cowboys are suddenly America’s team again and the all the bread that comes with it. Let's just call it the American Hustle playboy because they just won the Super Bread Bowl! Stop me when i start lyin'!

Blood Fantasies (How Michael Sam almost got away with the ultimate hustle)

"Yeah dawg, I was in the getaway car turning the corner and got popped."

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.” Fran Lebowitz, the famous author, flicked the ashes off of the tip of her cigar and said, “Contrary to popular opinion, the hustle is not a new dance step – it is an old business procedure.” Then the big homie Marlon Brando kicked his feet up on the table and said, “If you want something from an audience, you give blood to their fantasies. It’s the ultimate hustle.”

Well playboy…Michael Sam almost got away with the ultimate hustle because he gave a freakin’ blood transfusion to the fantasies of boyz wantin’ to see the first openly gay player in the NFL make it. He ran game on the league like a straight up gangsta because if he had gotten drafted on his talent alone no one would have cared who he was.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Before that dun told the world that he was gay nobody knew that he existed outside of diehard SEC fans or better yet, Mizzou fans. He showed up at the Senior Bowl after the season was over last year and just did ok. There was nothin’ special about him. So he hooked up with the big homie Marlon Brando and he spit game to him. “Give blood to the fantasies of your audience playa and they’ll fall in love with you.”

The next thing you know he’s makin’ an announcement about his sexuality. So guess who’s got a record number of the media waitin’ on him in February at the combine? Michael freakin’ Sam! The same cat that would have been at best a 5^th round pick comin’ into the combine that the world wouldn’t have cared if he’d shown up for the workout or not.

However, because he put crazy pressure on himself by makin’ the announcement he fell apart at the combine and caused his draft status to nose dive. He was terrible in Indianapolis bruh. He was so bad that if he hadn’t told the world that he was gay he probably wouldn’t have gotten drafted. But because he gave blood to the fantasy the hustle allowed him to get selected.

The first thing that he says to the media at the combine is, “I don’t want to be the known as Michael Sam the gay football player. I want to be known as Michael Sam the football player.” That statement alone solidified the hustle playboy. If he wanted to be known as a football player only then he never would have told boyz that he was gay. Who cares what your sexual orientation is playa. Can you do your job better than your competition?

Duns like Ellen Degeneres, Elton John, Raven Symone, Robin Roberts and Suzie Orman didn’t tell boyz that they were gay before they had even accomplished anything. They created their brands on their talent alone and then “oh by the way, I’m gay.” Sam tried to get in the game because he was gay and that was the hustle.

I know who Robin Roberts is because she's the best at what she does. I know who Ellen is because she's hilariously funny and unbelievably talented. I know who Suzie Orman is because she's a financial genius. I know who Elton John is because he can sing is butt off and he makes great music. I only know who Michael Sam is because he told the world that he was gay before the NFL draft. I grew up around hustlas and thieves playboy. I can see game runnin' a mile away like a shark smellin' blood in the water.

He tried to force the NFL to carry him across the threshold without bein’ good enough to play the freakin’ game and because the world wanted to see it happen he almost got away with it and he still may even get away with it. Even Oprah jumped on the bandwagon and wanted to document it. Now if Oprah is ridin’ with you your hustle has gotta be strong.  

There was a whole community of people that wanted him to represent them even though he knew that he wasn’t good enough to be the “Chosen One” on his own talent. So every time you saw him after that he made sure that the world knew that he was gay. He was bein’ overly sensitive and emotional every time the cameras were on him. By doin’ that he was givin’ blood to the fantasy.

On draft day he made sure that he had his boyfriend on his side and went way over the top with the kiss after he was selected in the seventh round. Not only was there a kiss but a kiss with birthday cake included like they had just gotten married or something. Nobody does that when they get drafted but he wanted the world to fall in love with the idea of havin' an openly gay player in the NFL and that they did. That was the blood I’m talkin’ about pimpin’.

Immediately after the draft, one of the worst teams in the league, the St. Louis Rams, sold out of their season tickets and the Michael Sam jersey became one of the hottest sellin’ jerseys in the league. Why? Because the hustle was in full effect bruh! It was workin’ like a charm. No way are these duns gonna cut him now that he’s become a legitimate commodity or that’s what we all thought.

The Rams were doin’ everything in their power not to cut him too. They were playin’ him on special teams durin’ the preseason when a defensive end rarely plays on special teams. Why were they tryin’ so hard to keep him even though they knew that he wasn’t good enough to make the team? Not that he couldn’t play! They just didn’t need him! So again, why were they tryin’ to keep him? Because they too had givin’ blood to the fantasies of the audience.

They’ve got one of the best defensive fronts in the league and they knew when they drafted ole boy that he wasn’t gonna make the team. They just got caught up in the strength of the hustle too. They figured that they could at least benefit from the hype of Sam and then get rid off of him. But once they got in the car with him the hustle locked the doors and floored it. It was goin’ 80mph until it finally ran out of gas on Saturday at 4pm.

Now on some real talk, they did become relevant over the past four months and they did sell out of their season tickets. So I guess they did benefit from the hustle. Now they’ve got to explain to boyz why Charlie Brown is on stage instead of James Brown, the cat that they actually paid to see. They’ve got to tell fans that Luther isn’t singin’ this season but Lenny, his distant cousin on his daddy’s side, is. Because you know that boyz are livid that they’ve bought those tickets to see Music Soul Child perform and now they’re gettin’ Andre’ the Giant instead. “Who is that? I paid to see Michael Sam!”  

The Rams couldn’t justify cuttin’ someone else that played that position that they had a need for to keep a trophy that they couldn’t use. The cat that they kept was more of a versatile player. For all of you simple minded individuals that means that they could do more with him than Sam. I applaud them for at least bein’ able to make the right decision on the 53 man roster and not keepin’ a boy that was hustlin’ them by tryin’ to use his sexuality to make the team.

I’m quite sure that there is a gay player out there that is a legit baller! We’ve just got to wait for him to either show up or come out because you already know that there are gay players in the league. But to try to hustle your way into the league by usin’ that as your campaign slogan was foul.

Jay-Z always said, “You can’t knock the hustle.” And on some real talk, I really can’t knock it because he got famous and whether he gets picked up by another team or not he’s gonna get rich because of the hustle. You gotta respect it if all he ever wanted to do was be famous. However, I would have more respect for him if he had just balled out and then one day said, “Oh by the way I'm gay too!” Stop me when I start lyin’!

Chosen One (Why boyz want to anoint Michael Sam the one but he's reallyjust Eddie Murphy)

"It's me dawg! Trust me on that!"

Franklin Graham, the famous evangelist, once said, “I’ve never really been one to try to be politically correct. I just feel truth is truth, and sometimes I probably offend some people.” M. Russell Ballard, a high ranking official in the Church of Latter-day Saints, gave it to us like this, “It may not always be easy, convenient, or politically correct to stand for truth and right, but it is the right thing to do. Always.” Then Robert Kiyosaki, the famous self-help guru, kept it real with, “Being politically correct means saying what’s polite rather than what’s accurate. I like to be accurate.”

Well playboy, ole Robert and I were brought up on the same school of thought. I’m not gonna say what boyz want to hear I’m gonna say what boyz need to hear. Even though the St. Louis Rams probably have the best defensive line in football and there’s really no room for Michael Sam on the roster in that position he’s gonna make the team anyway bruh. Why? Because the politically correct world wants him to that's why!

Ole boy made the first round of cuts as the team trimmed the roster to 75 players. They’ve got until Saturday at 4pm to get it down to 53 studs. I know that boyz will argue that Sam has been ballin’ and that he should make the team based on his stats alone. Through three preseason games he has five tackles and three sacks. He’s also had two quarterback pressures and a quarter hit. Sounds good to the dun that doesn’t know what he’s lookin’ at right?

Well let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! He hasn’t been playin’ against first team cats bruh. Also the Rams drafted this dun in the 7^th round knowin’ that they’ve got the best defensive line in the game. They figured that they could jump off of the roof and make a splash by draftin’ the first openly gay player in NFL and be done with it by now. However, that plan just farted in the pool. Because the world wants to see him play and see him play now, boyz don’t care that he isn’t a stud. They just care that he’s gay and is cool with tellin’ folks that he is.

See it doesn’t matter how well Sam has played up to this point because they’re solid at the defensive end position. He hasn’t played well enough to take anybody’s job bruh but they can’t cut him. Why? Because the world demands that there is an openly gay player on that roster. Now we all know that there are some gay cats in the league right now but it's mums the word on them until they come out. So ole Mike is it.

I’m all for inclusion and like I’ve said in several other Hot Joints in the past on this subject. To be a black man and not be for inclusion would be ridiculous. Here’s the problem that the Rams have run into though. They drafted a cat that they didn’t have use for in the first place and now he’s the “Chosen One” for the gay and lesbian community and boyz aren’t goin’ down without a fight. He’s not a first round pick with first round talent. He’s a seventh round pick with seventh round talent that hasn’t taken anybody’s job.

So under normal circumstances he’d be lookin’ at a plane ticket to the crib this Saturday but that ain’t gonna happen pimpin’! Why? Because he’s makin’ the Rams way too much bread at this point. He’s got one of the highest sellin’ jerseys in the league and the Rams have sold out season tickets. So you gotta keep him bruh! Otherwise, it's like sellin' tickets to see Beyonce and then havin' Da Brat show up on stage. You're gonna have a riot if that dun isn't out there. 

Sam Bradford’s done for the year and he’s the only show in town at this point. So in my P. Diddy/Puffy Daddy voice, “He ain’t go-in no-where!”

And most importantly the Gay and Lesbian community has ordained this dun the “Chosen One” when he shouldn’t be but since he’s the only cat standin’ he’s it playa.

See when Jackie Robinson integrated the Major League’s he was the best player in the league. He wasn’t a bottom of the barrel draft pick that the brothers just got behind just because he was black. He was better than anybody in the Major League. So it made sense that he was the “Chosen One” but Michael Sam isn’t. He’s freakin’ Eddie Murphy! "I want da knife!" Classic line bruh!

"I'm right here playa! You just gotta be patient tho!"

The Rams even know that they can’t cut this dun because they’re tryin’ to find somewhere for him to play and justify his existence to other football people. In the NFL defensive ends don’t play on special teams bruh but the Rams has got this cat runnin’ out there on guess what? Special teams!  So they can tell the world that he really did make the team legitimately.

Jeff Fischer said out of his own mouth, “It’s rare that you get a defensive end that’s going to go out and contribute on all four of your core special teams. So specials teams is not going to be part of the equation for Mike.” And then he goes on to say, “We’re giving him every opportunity to do so, and he’s participated in special teams practices and everything, but that’s not going to be part of the criteria for the evaluations.” What?

He sounds like a dun trapped in a closet butt naked gettin’ waterboarded. That makes absolutely no sense. If it’s rare that a defensive end would play on special teams then those rare occasions would be reserved for the freaks in this business like a Jevon Kearse or the new freak, Jadeveon Clowney because they’re long, athletic and can run like a gazelle. Not for some cat that is undersized and slow as molasses. And with him playin’ on special teams isn’t part of the evaluation process for him then why is he playin’ on special teams?

Let me put it where the goats can get it bruh. Michael Sam is gonna make this team playa but not because he deserves to. He’s gonna make it because of the ground swell of support for people wantin’ to see an openly gay player in the NFL. That’s foul because some kid that deserves to make that team isn’t because the world appointed Sam the “Chosen One” when he really wasn’t. The real “Chosen One” is out there but you’ve just got to be patient enough for him to show up. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Bullyin' (How Michael Sam is bullyin' the NFL & the Rams & Tony Dungy got cold cocked)

Sam: "It's goin' just as I'd planned bruh! Dungy: "Yep!"

Neal Boortz, the former radio host, once said, “Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech. Popular speech, by definition, needs no protection.” Frederick Douglass gave it to us like this, “To suppress free speech is a double wrong.” It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.” Then Liu Xiaobo, the famous Chinese literary critic, shut the buildin' down with, “Free expression is the base of human nature and the mother of truth. To kill free speech is to insult human nature and to suppress truth.”

Well playboy the truth is, everybody has a right to his or her own opinion. Therefore, Tony Dungy should be able to speak his mind on whether he would have drafted Michael Sam or not. When simply asked if he would have drafted ole boy, Tony was honest in sayin’ that he wouldn’t have because of the distraction of all of the freakin’ media attention.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Everybody and their momma knows that Tony only said what the other 31 teams were thinkin’ because none of them dared to draft him either. Why? Because as a 7^th round pick he wasn’t worth the headache. All of these media cats that are tryin’ to make this a bigotry type situation need to stop. Unless you’ve been on the freakin’ moon sound asleep for the past 5 months you know that that dun had the worst combine known to man! He’s undersized for his position and he’s as slow as molasses. He ran a 5 flat forty for cryin’ out loud! He was as stiff as a board tryin’ to run in a straight line. In a coaches mind he’s not worth the headache based on his potential bruh.

His chances of makin’ that team under normal circumstances would be slim to none. That’s why Dungy said he wouldn’t have drafted him because now he’s gotta deal with the media bullyin’ he and his staff about whether the freakin’ guy is gonna make the team or not.

Yeah I said it bruh, bullyin’! Michael Sam just bullied his way into the NFL without even havin’ to try out for the freakin’ team. This dun knew that his measurables were terrible before the combine so he let the cat out of the bag. That gave him leverage to bully these boyz out the gate.

When he showed up at the combine he said, “I want to be known as Michael Sam the football player not Michael Sam the gay football player!” What!!!! He’s the one that told us he was gay! Nobody would have even known that had it not been for him! So right then and there I knew that the hustle was on even before seein’ him workout.

Now don’t get it twisted playboy, I’m all for inclusion and as a black man it would be ignorant for me to think otherwise. However, I wouldn’t want to see someone black get a job on the basis of just bein’ black alone! Most importantly a boy has to be qualified! More than qualified!

Jackie Robinson didn’t get to the Major Leagues just because he was black. He was the best freakin’ cat in the league. His ability allowed him to play not because folks were bullyin’ boyz because they finally wanted to see a brotha play.

Tony Dungy answered the question with his coach’s hat on not the politically correct hat on. No coach wants to deal with distractions no matter what they may be. But they'll put up with some foolishness if the dun can play. The better a player is the more a coach will tolerate. It is what it is pimpin’!

I wouldn’t have wanted Tim Tebow on my team if I were the New York Jets a couple of years ago. That dun came into camp as the third string quarterback and held a major press conference! Wheredeydodatat? Think about all of the attention that Johnny Football has gotten just in OTA’s alone and boyz on his team were pissed about that and Johnny can play! Both Tebow and Manziel were both first round picks that had Heismans and boyz were still trippin'!

So now think about havin’ to show up to camp with a cat that barely got drafted, that has the No. 1 sellin’ jersey in the freakin’ league, that on merit alone he may not even make team and he's gettin’ more attention than EVERYBODY! That’s a problem bruh.

Therefore, when Tony said that it may not go well, he was right. He’s been in locker rooms his entire life playboy. He knows that it ain’t gonna fly. A rookie that barely got drafted gettin’ all of the attention over veteran players? In my Huggy Low Down voice, “Waaait for it!”

These clueless cats in the media are killin' me divin’ on Dungy because he didn’t want the distraction of Sam but wanted to mentor Michael Vick. First of all pimpin’, he wasn’t coachin’ Vick. He was mentorin’ the guy after gettin’ out of jail. He wasn’t asked if he would draft him because I’m quite sure he’d say the same thing if he were a 7^th round pick that had just gotten released from prison for dog fightin’. He would probably pass on him too. Why? Because he wouldn’t be worth the distraction. However, Vick at the time was a fallen superstar in the league that Dungy wasn’t coachin’. He was merely mentorin' him. There is a huge difference between the two.

What blows my mind about this whole thing is that cats are always hollerin’ tolerance. Well listen up playa! Tolerance goes both ways! If you want people to respect the fact that you’re gay or lesbian then you’ve got to be willin’ to respect the fact that there are people that don’t agree with your lifestyle. That’s tolerance. People can agreeably disagree and still have love for each other.

So if Tony was speakin’ from his Christian faith then you’ve got to be tolerant of the fact that his was. Just because a person may or may not agree with what you’re into doesn’t mean that they don’t have love or respect for you. We’ve got to learn how to love everyone for who they are because none of us has a heaven or a hell to put anyone in.

I don’t drink or smoke that doesn’t mean that I dislike people that do. It's just not for me. It’s just that simple. I’m not runnin’ around bullyin’ boyz because they disagree with me.

If Michael Sam likes guys that’s his business and nobody cares as long as he can play ball. But to continuously be over the top with it is ridiculous. Every time you see that dun he’s cryin’ and kissin’ his boyfriend. You don’t see other players doin’ that with their girlfriends. I’m just sayin!

However, if someone says that they don’t agree with it they’ll get mushed in the face and pushed down the stairs by the gay community. That’s not right. So therefore, Sam is like the kid that’s talkin’ stuff in the front yard (and that’s the edited version) because he knows that his mom is standin’ on the porch to protect him and nobody can touch him.

He’s untouchable at this point because no way are the Rams gonna cut him even if he isn’t good enough. He’s got too big of a followin’, everybody wants to be politically correct, the NFL loves the attention and his jersey is No.1 in sales and he hasn’t even reported to trainin’ camp yet. He's a freakin' cash cow at this point bruh. The Rams have even sold out of season tickets because of him. He ain't goin' nowhere like P. Diddy!

Now some real talk, the Rams got in on the hustle minute they drafted him. They were one of the worst teams in the league and just as irrelevant. Now all of a sudden they're national news and at the forefront of the social awareness. Here's the problem though pimpin'! Once they got in the ride with ole boy he locked the doors and floored it. Now they can't get out if they wanted to without crashin' and burnin'! I grew up with hustlas and thieves and I can spot game a mile away bruh.

If Michael Sam can play then he should by all means be on the 53 man roster when the season starts. But if that dun is suspect they should take his playbook like everybody else and send him to the airport like everybody else.

But this cat is bullyin’ the NFL and the Rams into keepin’ him just because he’s the first cat to tell boyz that he was openly gay. Fair is fair and he should make that team on his talent alone not because he’s got the league by the throat with his homeboyz behind him robbin’ cats of their freedom of religion and speech. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!

The Cat Monster (How Sam is using his sexuality to hustle the NFL into making the team)

"You boyz don't have a choice but to hire me now!"

As I walked into the barber shop this week these cats were in the back on the domino table arguing about gettin’ into a boy’s head. George Bernard Shaw said, “If you leave the smallest corner of your head vacant for a moment, other people’s opinions will rush in from all quarters.” William Shakespeare stood up and said, “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” Then Mark Twain came in the joint sellin' knock off purses and said, “What a wee little part of a person’s life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.”

Well… maybe these cats were tryin' to tell Michael Sam that it would have been smarter if he were goin' to jump out of the plane at 35,000 feet to pack a parachute. When ole boy announced several months ago that he was gay, I told the duns in the shop then that maybe he should have waited until after he’s been drafted, made a roster and balled out for a few years first. Then come out if he felt the need to. Why? Because it’s hard enough to get drafted, make a roster and have a career without any distractions let alone boyz chasin' you around asking you about your sexuality. I'm just sayin'.

And if he's gonna rep the gay and lesbian community he's gotta be able to play pimpin'!

When he got drafted last week he was way over the top with the cake in his boy friend's mouth and the wedding kiss. Now don't get me wrong playboy, I'm all for a boy bein' whoever and whomever he's gotta be. God says that we're all his children and should be loved at the same level! And as a black man I'm all for inclusion. It would be hypocritical for me to think otherwise. But most importantly, I don't have a Heaven or a Hell to put anybody into.

All of the duns that are screamin' that it's a sin are runnin' around this piece cursin', drinkin', sleepin' with all kinds of women that aren't their wives, gossipin', hatin' on boyz, gamblin' and lyin' at the same time. I'm just sayin'!

However, what ole boy is doin' it creatin' a situation where even if he's not good enough he's jammed both the NFL and the Rams into a corner where it's gonna be hard to cut him if need be. Why? Because he's made it be about his sexuality and not his ability to play the game right out the gate. If it were about the game and his ability to play it we wouldn't know who Michael Sam is today. Well... only those cats that kept up with Mizzou football and the SEC.

Let's say that it turns out that he's not good enough to make the roster because he is as slow as molasses and undersized. He's a cash cow that both the Rams and the NFL can eat off of until some dun that's gay comes out that's really a superstar. He's already got the No.1 selling jersey in the league and he's not even on the freakin' team yet playa. The Rams are gonna sell out every week if he makes the team and they'll be on TV every week too. So you can't cut him even if he turns out to be horrible bruh! Why? Because he's too valuable of a commodity at this point and league allowed the side show to happen.

Remember back in February at the combine when he was getting swallowed up by the media presence during his press conference? He was clearly frustrated with the barrage of questions about guess what, his sexuality. At one point he light weight snapped and said, “I just wish you guys would just see me as Michael Sam the football player instead of Michael Sam the gay football player.”

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Hold up dawg! You were the one screamin' from the roof tops a few weeks ago announcing your sexuality, not the media. And now you’re mad that boyz are all over you at the combine. Then you set up your draft day situation with your boy friend in tow and the wedding cake kiss. Nobody else kissed their partners/wives/jump offs etc. and put cake in their mouths when their names were called.

Ole boy pulled the "Nerd Cuff" move on us when he got drafted too. You know how when a cat finally gets a decent lookin' chick after never havin' one? For the first time in his life boyz are checkin' out his woman. So he walks up to her for no reason puts his arm around her, grabs her butt and kisses her so that boyz can know that that's his girl. Well, that's what Michael Sam and his boy friend did last week playa. Be out bruh! Do what you gotta do! Just understand that you still gotta play ball and function in that locker room. But the crazy thing is, he already knows the hustle and he doin' it well.

I've got crazy respect for Jason Collins because he showed boyz that he could play the game first and he garnered the respect of cats all over the league. Why? Because he'd been in the NBA for 13 years! So when he did announce it, it was like, "Oh OK what we eatin' tonight bruh."

Sam on the other hand, is tryin' to use his sexuality to make the team playboy. Here's my roof top screamer talkin' crazy again, "Jay you're just hatin' on Sam! How can you say that he's tryin' to play the Rams and the NFL? He's just proud of who he is." Listen up homie, I grew up with hustlas and thieves all of my life. They taught "How to spot a Hustle 101" in the second grade where I'm from and you had to score 100% in order to pass to third grade pimpin'.

Sam is tryin' to pull the infamous "Card" without provin' his worth first. How much respect do you have for duns that say, "They gotta hire me because I'm black, I'm a woman or I'm handicapped etc.? Naw playboy, they gotta hire you because you hit a homerun in the interview, you're more than qualified for the position and you just happened to be black, a woman or handicapped. Mike ran into the joint lookin' to get hired because he was gay not because he could play.

This dun signed up to do a documentary on the Oprah Network (which has been postponed) about being the first openly gay football player in the NFL without first being in the NFL! You gotta make the team first homeboy!! By pullin' stunts like that he's makin' his sexuality the headline, not the media. Don’t blast us because you let the cat out of the bag and you keep feeding it. Now the cat won’t let you focus on the business at hand. That ain’t our fault bruh!

Let me share with you an old ghetto colloquialism, "Once you shoot the gun playboy, you can't get the bullet back." Now you've gotta make that freakin' team in the mist of all of the distractions that you've created in your quest to be famous.  Now was it more important for you to be famous or to be a football player in the National Football League? All the fame and bread will come once you ball out, make the team and make a name for yourself as a player! Not by being some random gay guy tryin' to make the team. So in my Big Momma irritated voice, "Go somewhere and sit yo "A" down and do what you supposed to do. Then boyz would have more respect for you." Stop me when I start lyin'!

The Hustle (The Rams pull a wack PR move & the media disrespects Jackie Robinson)

Rams draft Michael Sam with the 248th pick!

Abraham Lincoln once said, “The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.” Frederick Douglass said it this way, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” Then the big homie, Martin Luther King Jr., broke it down like this, “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable…Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.”

On Saturday the St. Louis Rams selected Michael Sam with the 248th pick in the 7th round of the NFL draft making him the first openly gay football player to ever be drafted. Congrats to the big homie for getting drafted but on some real talk, the Rams merely pulled a PR move. Did  they draft ole boy because they thought that that he could make the team or were they looking to make some noise and become relevant?

They did the latter playboy! They became relevant for the next month and a half. They're gonna sell tickets, Rams gear and a 7th round draft pick's jersey that hasn't even made the freakin' team yet.

Keep in mind playboy there were only 256 players drafted and this cat was No.248. The chances of him making the team are slim to none not because he's gay but because according to most NFL scouts he's undersized and as slow as molasses. There's no guaranteed bread comin' his way and the 248th pick rarely makes a team. So the Rams pulled a wack public relations power move on Saturday with nothin' to lose and if and when they cut him they can say that they drafted the first openly gay football player ever and that's foul! Where I'm from that's a called a hustle!

Would they have drafted him if his name was Rashard Johnson, just some cat with the same skill set as Sam but wasn't a major story that the media was camped out to cover? I'm just sayin'! If his name was Berry Jackson they would have invited him to camp as a free agent like most of the teams said Sam was going to be as they got closer to the draft. Why do you think St. Louis drafted him and not some other team bruh? Because he went to school two hours away and the local area could capitalize on the impact of the draft pick.

 What I found most disturbing is that cats in the media are out here trying to equate this situation to that of Jackie Robinson. Now let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! I’m all for inclusion and people being treated equally. As a black man it would be hypocritical for me to think otherwise. So I think that it’s great that the Rams drafted him but only if they thought that he could play and make the freakin' team. However, to suggest that the struggle of the gay and lesbian community in this country is the same as African Americans is outright disrespectful and when you compare him to Jackie that's exactly what you're doing.

Why? Because they weren’t stolen from their native land and enslaved for 300 plus years. Their families haven’t been torn apart by slave owners that sold and treated them like animals. Their women weren’t raped and made to have litters of children to make even more slaves that were sold like puppies for a profit at an auction block. They weren’t lynched, tarred and feathered for trying to secure the right to vote or for something as simple as trying to get an education.

Both of my parents were forced to go to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) in the 1950’s because they weren’t allowed to go to predominantly white schools in the south. The last I checked we don’t have Historically Gay and Lesbian Colleges and Universities in this country. My mother always shares with me the stories of having to eat on milk crates in the kitchens of restaurants when the Greyhound bus she was riding on going back to school would make stops along the way.

The system/law has never been on the side of the people initiating the hate crimes against them like they were during slavery, Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement and now with today’s Stand Your Ground laws.

You could be gay in this country and still get an education, work where ever you wanted to, live in whatever neighborhoods you’ve wanted to live and not have a bomb thrown through your window. You could worship God without your church being bombed and your children being killed.

So to even suggest that Michael Sam is to some degree Jackie Robinson is to completely disrespect his legacy and all of the black and white folks that died along the way just so that he could merely get the opportunity to take the field.

Jackie Robinson didn't get picked at the bottom of the draft on some token type situation either. When Jackie came into the league he was the best cat in the league. He led his team to the World Series year one and won the joint in year two. Sam barely got drafted and more than likely won't make it through training camp not because he's gay but because he can't play. My problem isn't with him being drafted. My problem is with the Rams trying to run game on the Gay and Lesbian Community and drafting him just to say that they did. That's wack! If ole boy was in the mix for them for real they would have drafted him sooner rather than later and not when the freakin' janitor at Radio City Music Hall was cleaning up already.

For people to even suggest that what Sam is able to do now is even close to what Jackie did is ridiculous. They must have forgotten about how Jackie was called every name in the book and spit on not only by his own teammates but by the fans in the ball park without the support of law enforcement. Sam won't have to deal with any of that.

When Jackie's team would arrive in town to play a road game he couldn’t stay in the hotel and eat dinner with his teammates! Why? Because blacks weren’t allowed to sleep or eat in all white establishments at that time. If you’re gay in America that isn’t your struggle so it’s not the same.

Jackie didn’t have the option to hide who he was. When he walked in the door they already knew who and what he was. That isn’t Sam's struggle. He’s been able to play the game of football his whole life.  And let's keep it real, he's not the first gay player to play in the NFL. He's just the first openly gay player to do it. However, Jackie was THE very first black player to play in the major leagues. Not the first openly black player. The very first playboy and he dealt with all of the foolishness that came with it. So it's not the same bruh!

It’s historic but it isn’t close to being the same. Ask my mother if it’s the same? Ask Emmitt Till’s parents if it’s the same? Ask the families of the three civil rights workers found dead in Mississippi if it’s the same? Ask the parents of the three little girls killed at Sunday School in Birmingham when a bomb came through the window if it’s the same? Ask the King children if it’s the same? Ask the millions that didn’t make it through the Middle Passage if it’s the same? Ask all of the ball players that spent their entire careers in the Negro League if it's the same?   

So please don’t be ignorant enough to suggest that what he’s doing is in any way shape or form the same as what Jackie Robinson did because that would be ludicrous. If the struggle isn’t the same then the impact isn’t the same.

Again, I'm all for inclusion because God says that we should treat others as we would have them treat us. All we ever wanted in this country is for everybody to respect the next man or woman for being whoever and whatever they want to be. I think that we’re finally moving in that direction and that’s a great thing but don’t insult the legacy of Jackie Robinson and so many others that went through the war for equality so that Michael Same could get the love and respect that he’s getting to today.

Like Big Momma used to always say, "Be careful what you ask for because you just might get it." Now you can't hide playboy! So you better show up to training camp bumpin' that Tupac "All Eyes On Me" because now you gotta put up or shut up! Stop me when I start lyin'!

The Cat Monster (The REAL reason Michael Sam fell apart at the combine)

"This is way too much to deal with bruh!"

As I was walking into Lucas Oil Stadium to cover the NFL combine. I ran into these cats in the parking lot arguing about gettin’ into a boy’s head. George Bernard Shaw said, “If you leave the smallest corner of your head vacant for a moment, other people’s opinions will rush in from all quarters.” William Shakespeare kept it simple by saying, “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” Then Mark Twain jumped out of the whip rockin’ some purple gators and said, “What a wee little part of a person’s life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.”

Well… maybe these cats were trying to tell Michael Sam that it would have been smarter if he were going to jump out of the plane at 35,000 feet to pack a parachute. When ole boy announced several weeks ago that he was gay, I told the boyz in the barber shop that maybe he should have waited until after he’s been drafted, made a roster and balled out for a few years. Then come out if he felt the need to. Why? Because it’s hard enough to get drafted, make a roster and have a career without any distractions let alone boyz chasing you around asking you about your sexuality. I'm just sayin'.

Now ole boy is getting swallowed up by the media presence at the combine because of the announcement. During his press conference on Saturday he was clearly frustrated with the barrage of questions about guess what, his sexuality. At one point he light weight snapped and said, “I just wish you guys would just see me as Michael Sam the football player instead of Michael Same the gay football player.”

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Hold up dawg! You were the one screaming from the roof tops a few weeks ago announcing your sexuality not the media. And now you’re mad that boyz are all over you at the combine. You made your sexuality the headline not the media. Don’t blast us because you let the cat out of the bag and now the cat won’t let you focus on the business at hand. That ain’t our fault bruh! Let me share with you an old ghetto colloquialism, "Once you shoot the gun playboy, you can't get the bullet back."

Now that you can’t concentrate on doin' your best, went out there and made a fool of yourself in your workouts it's somehow our fault? Some NFL insiders, my mans and nem, are even doubting as to whether you’ll even get drafted because you stunk up the joint.

Ole boy was whistled three times for mistakes on starts while trying to run his 40 bruh! He’s not racing anybody but himself! Then he goes out and runs a molasses 4.91 officially. Now because he’s undersized as a defensive end boyz thought that they would be able to move him to linebacker but he’s too slow to play that position. He can’t play defensive end with his speed even if he was big enough. He’d have to play tackle but guess what playboy, he’s too small to play there.

Then he went over to the vertical and jumped 25.5 inches which was fourth from the bottom in his position. His bench press numbers were even worse where he did 17 reps at 225 which was only better than one other cat in that position group.

Like I said before, could he have done better? Absolutely! But he wanted to make a freakin’ statement before he got the job! Listening to some activist pushing you out of the plane without a parachute just cost you millions of dollars playboy. Sometimes in life you gotta do what’s best for you and not what’s best for somebody else’s movement.

There is a reason why Jason Collins waited until he’d been in the league for 13 years before he came out. There is a reason why folks like Ellen DeGeneres, Robin Roberts, and Queen Latifah got their grind on first, made a name for themselves and then came out. Why? Because now that they’re in they can make a larger impact. You can’t make an impact being overwhelmed and tripping over your feet at the combine playboy. You just spit up, farted and cursed in your first interview bruh.

Because at the end of the day nobody cares who you sleep with or who you love. Can you do the freakin’ job that you’re applying for!

Nobody has ever hired me solely on the premise of being black pimpin’! They hired me because I’ve always been the best candidate for the job and my numbers haven always proven it. I couldn't walk in and show them that I was black and start farting and cursing in the interview because I filled the quota . Naw playa, I had to put in work first then pull out the brag book, recommendations and my accomplishments. Lastly, I had to show up and hit a home run when they turned the lights on.

Did you actually think that you were just gonna show up at the combine, walk in and workout without a thousand duns asking you about your sexuality when you threw it on the table in the first place? Did you not realize that you were the very first openly gay player that could potentially play in the NFL? So if you did playboy, why are you irritated at the response of the barrage of questions that you’re getting in Indianapolis?

If you were serious about playing football, getting drafted and making a roster your sexuality would never have become news. Why? Because your career would have been your first order of business just like Jason Collins, Robin Roberts, Ellen DeGeneres and a host of others that have balled out first and then came out.

Here’s my roof top screamer going off, “Why should he have to wait to say who he is. He should be proud of being gay!” You’re exactly right playa! He should be able to do whatever he wants to do and be whoever he wants to be. However, the media has a job to do and he instantly becomes news when he announces who he is right before the NFL draft. So therefore he’s got to deal with the circus that comes with it. Why? Because we don’t live in the world of what should be, we live in the world of what is.

So the “what is” right now pimpin’ is that he’s gotta figure out how to deal with the circus, get drafted, make a roster and ball out. Can he keep all of those balloons in the air at the same time? I doubt it very seriously because he’s falling apart already at the freakin’ combine. Why? Because he put life into the monster before he figured out how to get out of the room. Now the monster is whoppin' his butt!  Stop me when I start lyin’!

The quote under the caption isn’t real but its REAL talk!

Naturally Uncomfortable (Why boyz need to look at the Michael Sam situation through the eyes of real people)

"In many ways this is the real world bruh!"

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” Mahatama Gandhi gave it to us like this, “Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.” Then Albert Einstein sounded like a real G when he said, “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”

Y’all know how I do. I sit in the cut and let all of the dull talking heads talk crazy about something and then I give you the REAL that they don’t have the capacity to break down. Now everybody and their momma has been talking about this whole Michael Sam situation and why the cats in the NFL are so intolerant or like some clowns have even used the term homophobic. The crazy thing is that nobody is trying to understand this from a real world perspective playboy!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Michael Sam has the right to be whoever he wants to be pimpin’! God loves everybody. If he’s gay and he wants to be a professional football player then good for him. My problem isn’t with him it’s with all of the clowns out here that are attacking the current players because they may be uncomfortable with a gay teammate.

It’s not that the players don’t like him because he’s gay. There uncomfortable with him being in the locker room because he’s gay. Let me put it where the goats can get it playboy. If they instituted a rule on your job today that all male and female employees regardless of their sexual orientation had to take showers together before going home at the end of the work day; there would be a lot of people upset and uncomfortable with that situation. That's real talk!

There is a reason why they have male and female facilities at work and in public venues. Why? Because people would be uncomfortable with using the toilet with the opposite sex. Why? Because there is always the threat that some dude would be checking out or trying to holler at the female in the room or vice versa.

Sexual orientation is driven by what you like and what you want playboy. So whatever you like or want you tend to look at and in many instances lust after. So it's only natural for someone to be uncomfortable being butt naked in front of someone that has an appetite for their particular sex. Especially if they aren't trying to get with them.

That doesn’t make the woman in this example heterophobic. No! It just makes her naturally comfortable and she has a right to be! So why is it that male athletes can’t have the right to be uncomfortable in the shower with a guy that likes dudes? That doesn’t make them homophobic. It simply makes them naturally uncomfortable and that’s completely normal.

It's like you being at your best friend's wedding and everybody is getting ready at Big Momma's house. You're rushing because you're running late and there's only one shower in the crib. So all of the heterosexual women get into the shower together because none of them have an appetite for women. You're running late too and you try to get in the shower with them and they're uncomfortable with that. Why? Because you have an appetite for women regardless of whether you're interested in any of them or not. Are they wrong for telling you that they don't want you in the shower? Not at all!

Let's take it a step further. You're in the shower and you're gay friend is running late too and he wants to get in the shower with you. If you say no does that make you homophobic or just uncomfortable with showering with him? He's been cool with you since elementary school but you ain't gettin' in the shower with him. That doesn't make you a bad person. It's just makes you uncomfortable.

The duns in the locker room aren’t saying that they don’t like the guy because he’s gay. They just don’t want to get in my Bernie Mac voice, “Bucket Naked” with him in the shower because it makes them uncomfortable. Why? Because 98% of the males playing sports have extremely high levels of testosterone that’s why they’re able to play the games at such a high level. The testosterone is driving their reasoning for doing everything they do.

Sometimes people need to step back and put themselves into the situations that they are blasting boyz about. If they just did that every now and then they wouldn’t sound so foolish. People have the right to be whoever and whatever they decide to be. However, the cat standing next to them has a right to his or her beliefs too. Tolerance goes both ways playboy! Stop me when I start lyin’!
