Not some lame joke. In fact, if people think they can't joke about us, they just might stop talking about us altogether.<BR/><BR/>Gavin is right though; it's very telling that he associated 'penetration' with 'gay'; I think we have Ang Lee and his indelible film-making to thank for that.<BR/><BR/>The culture is in a serious decline; today you could work at the NAACP all day, come home to a game of bridge, bid two spades and be compared to Simon Legree.michael sean morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336285190644141596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34309613.post-90675639981662362852007-11-16T12:03:00.000-05:002007-11-16T12:03:00.000-05:00I found his comment completely apropos.

The other team penetrated and kicked out and basically dominated them.<BR/><BR/>Like Jack was dominated by Ennis.<BR/><BR/>I think its a testament to this film that it has entered the public consciousness the way it has.cbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012048318668422826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34309613.post-57397928547115023232007-11-16T01:23:00.000-05:002007-11-16T01:23:00.000-05:00I agree with Gavin that it's sophomoric at best, a...I agree with Gavin that it's sophomoric at best, and I'm not offended. More than likely because I have met Phil Jackson many times, as he's a friend of my fathers, and some of those times were in very pro gay environments. I really don't think he is a homophobic man.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I am glad that there was a response to the comment. And while I wouldn't take offense at the comment, others might. Perhaps with a justification, as my experience with hetero dominated male sports suggests that homophobia is wide spread.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34309613.post-4625481019173555392007-11-15T15:40:00.000-05:002007-11-15T15:40:00.000-05:00I thought it was funny.
