About the Author

Cougar2000
There are some things about sports I don't like... the New Yuck Muts, the University of Michigan and those ASSCRACK UGLY HELMETS, the Floridamn Gayturds and the Miami Crimicanes. I also think that NASCRAP and professional wrestling are a HUGE waste of air time on television and would rather watch women's Jello wrestling!

Sharing your undies? EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

(Admins: Note this has been edited, removing the last sentence from the previous writing) Remember the movie "Bull Durham" where Tim Robbins is wearing a pair of Susan Sarrandon's panties? Well, it seems that New York Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi is auditioning for the role of Ebby "Nuke" LaLoosh if they ever do a sequel or a remake. The Daily News reported — on the front page, no less — that he often wears a gold thong under his uniform pants when trying to snap out of a slump.

EWWWWW!  

Now I know the Yankees are in last place in the AL East behind Toronto but this is a bit much. And Giambi's not the only one. Several teammates acknowledged they've tried wearing it, too, including Yankees captain Derek Jeter and outfielder Johnny Damon. I can't see A Rod or Posada doing that. I can just see the Babe spinning in his grave if he were to get wind of this.

The scene in the locker room would look something like this. Giambi puts the thong on and along comes A Rod, who slaps him on the butt and says, "The bow goes in front, dude." Bad visual. Really bad visual.

Maybe this secret needed to be buried in the concrete at the new stadium. Some things are best kept out of the public eye. Just play better baseball, guys. Winning cures all ills.

Dude I don't endorse any sort of underwear sharing.... Unless it's my girl wearing my boxers before I remove them - that's A-OK.

Giambi should stuff the underwear in his face for the way he's playing.

Maybe the thong will help him run faster around the bases. He runs like he is carrying a piano on his back. 4 stolen bases in last 5 years is not too impressive.

I'm pretty disgusted at your attempt to make Don't Ask Don't Tell, and with it, homosexuality into a laughing matter. In the same way it would be inappropriate for me to laugh at segregation or at someone for being black, it's just as bad to laugh at DADT or for doing something that we perceive as "gay". You ought to be ashamed of yourself for writing such offensive material, and for writing something that would reflect very poor taste of any nationally recognized news site.

It's one thing in say a caption contest if there's an awkward pic (photoshoped or not) to make comments implying something, but to take a rather bizzare superstition and to turn it into a off color diss of the GLBT lifestyle is not acceptable in any manner.

minus me if you want you coward, but there are millions of individuals who are silenced because of ignorant and crooked shit like this. At least have the decency to defend yourself and not hide behind a minus like the homophobic a**hole you are.

First off, I am NOT homophobic... so deal with it. Secondly, that statement is somewhat slanderous in its own nature. Thirdly, repeat that statement and I WILL go to the admins!

you poke fun at DADT.

you use homosexuality as the punchline to a joke.

If I were to laugh at the Civil Rights amendments or Brown v. Board, and were to joke about segregation, I guarantee you I would be called out. But because it's about homosexuality, it's ok.

I edited the story in question and changed the last paragraph. I still think you had no right to call me homophobic, when in point of fact I am not. I am now considering this issue done.

No, I think that it's necessary for things like this to be voiced in public. If we let people get away with shit like this without being publicly called out for it, they can ignore it. It's something that we ought to have enough integrity for this site not to let this shit slide by. If he were to have used a different story to make fun of a specific racial minority, or a specific religion, we would all be in uproar over it and there'd be a discussion over it. But for some stupid reason, because it's GLBTs that are being bashed, it's ok not to publicly call out someone for being discriminatory.

He said something which is offensive to YOU. Don't group the Armchair population into it, maybe someone else feels the same way, maybe not. But don't expect us to climb up next to you on the soapbox just because he stepped on your toes. The article is a joke, the situation referenced is a joke, his comment was meant as a joke. If you don't find it funny, then don't vote, and post a PRIVATE note on his message board. Don't drag the whole community into your mud pile.

Kels, I think I may have a compromise. What if I were to edit the last paragraph. Would that be acceptable to everyone?
