Comments on: Denver Nuggets Player: “I Have Two Moms” http://lafiga.firedoglake.com/2013/01/25/denver-nuggets-player-i-have-two-moms/ Just another Firedoglake weblog Wed, 15 May 2013 19:51:08 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: wynota skunk http://lafiga.firedoglake.com/2013/01/25/denver-nuggets-player-i-have-two-moms/#comment-28876 wynota skunk Sat, 26 Jan 2013 05:43:48 +0000 http://lafiga.firedoglake.com/?p=9670#comment-28876 There are and is a real difference in the fans, owners and mgmt. of sports teams. The San Francisco Giants in baseball, for instance. The real deal with their local community and the state of California. The Green Bay Packers in football, too, because of their inspired ownership rules. As a person who has had a couple of family members in pro sports and a prize fighter, to boot, I can say gifted athletes come from all circumstances and backgrounds. And, so do their politics. They are the real, and only, 1%ers who should be looked at twice. ( I still think they get paid too much, too. ) Some are jerks, to be sure, but some are amazing in their humanity. This guy is a cool dude and so is his family. Keep on, hoopin' on, Faried. There are and is a real difference in the fans, owners and mgmt. of sports teams.

He's got the happiest/coolest demeanor for a tough guy I've ever seen. As a nuggies fan, I love Faried already, and as a fan of loving, open inclusiveness, I love him even more now.

Supporting civil unions so people can get married? What? Another reason why the intermediate civil union step shouldn't be a cul-de-sac but is, as stated by our opposition, a path on the road to full Marriage Equality under civil law. But, yay! Happy to see anyone in professional sports be so forthcoming given the clear risks of doing so. What a wonderful young man. And his super Moms! So confusing!
