Shook Ones: New Orleans Saints Baller Jonathan Vilma Afraid To Shower With Gay Teammates

Are Johnathan Vilma’s concerns valid as a straight man? Jonathan Vilma Afraid To Shower With Gay Teammates Homophobia needs to stop in 2014. According to Rolling Out: Gay players in sports has been a hot topic in the public for the past year and many heterosexual athletes have given their take on what it would mean to have a gay player as a teammate. Recently, the NFL Network sat down for an interview with players from both past and present to discuss the locker room culture and how gay players would fit in with the teammates and Jonathan Vilma of the New Orleans saints let it be known that he’s afraid of taking showers with a gay man. “There’s such a stigma with gay and homosexuals within male sports,” said London Fletcher, Washington Redskins linebacker, acknowledging the sports homophobic atmosphere. “It would be very difficult for that first person to come out.” And that point was ironically and painfully made clear when Vilma commented on his fear of showering with gay men. “I think that he would not be accepted as much as we think he would be accepted,” Vilma added. “I don’t want people to just naturally assume, like, ‘Oh, we’re all homophobic.’ That’s really not the case. Imagine if he’s the guy next to me and, you know, I get dressed, [bare], taking a shower, the whole nine, and it just so happens he looks at me. How am I supposed to respond?” If you were a straight man taking a shower with gay teammates present, would you worry about another grown man checking you out? WENN

Pro LGBT: Google Protests Russia’s “Gay People, Please Don’t Touch The Kids” Anti-Same-Sex-Love Law With Rainbow Search Page

Google Protests Russia Anti-Gay Law With Rainbow Search Page Google just scored some major points with GLAAD here!! Google has made clear its stance on the Russian anti-gay law marring the Sochi Olympic Games by giving its search page a rainbow makeover — and a link to the part of the Olympic charter that bans “discrimination of any kind.” The law, which prohibits “homosexual propaganda,” among other things, has drawn criticism from human rights groups, gay-friendly businesses, and governments throughout the world. And as the games begin, there’s even dissent from partners: AT&T was among the first sponsors of the US Olympic Committee to officially object to the laws (Chobani and DeVry University also spoke out), and now Google is showing their true colors as well — literally. Google’s new front page Thursday, visible internationally and including Google.ru, shows athletes superimposed over a rainbow, a well-known symbol of gay pride. Below the search box is an excerpt from the official Olympic Charter: “The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.” If there was any doubt what side the world’s most visible Internet company was on in this debate, this should clear it up. Discuss… Google

Show & Prove: Can Losin’ Azz Olympian Lolo Jones Finally Win A Medal On The Women’s Bobsledding Team?

Maybe now Lolo can prove she’s not a huge Olympic failure. Lolo Jones Adds Excitement To U.S. Women’s Bobsled Team She couldn’t get it poppin’ as a track and field star. If she can’t get the medal as a bobsled athlete, well, UPS is hiring… According to The Gazette: Lolo Jones wanted to become a push athlete in Olympic bobsled competition. She knew her ambition would require a big dose of courage. It’s no secret bobsledding can be perilous. She also knew her ambition would require a more enormous version of Lolo. Jones had made her name as a slim 130-pound world-class hurdler. She needed to add 30 pounds, at least, to prosper as a pusher. “I can eat anything,” Jones said late in 2013 as she looked back on her successful attempt to add weight to her frame. “And it’s awesome.” Jones is the most famous of the athletes who have traveled from other sports to bobsled competition. She is joined on the Olympic team by Lauryn Williams, a gold medal Olympic sprinter, and Aja Evans, who competed in track at Illinois. On the men’s team, Curt Tomasevicz traveled to the bobsled Olympic team from football. He was raised in Shelby, Neb., on land almost as flat as a pool table. He still found his way, with a stop at Nebraska’s football team, to this mountain sport and lives and trains in Colorado Springs. “They ask me if bobsledding is fun,” Tomasevicz said, “and I don’t think I could describe bobsledding as fun with freezing temperatures and spandex and wearing only a helmet as protection, it’s not necessarily fun.” Jones disagrees. She’s been surprised by the sheer joy of bobsledding. She once spent her days trying to run as fast as she could while clearing hurdles, but has found thrills in her role as, borrowing his words, “the engine” of a bobsled race team. “Once you get use to the g-force and how it knocks you around, it’s really quite fun,” she said. Do you think Lolo can get a gold Olympic medal as a bobsled athlete? Image via RunLoloRun

Hannah Ferguson is the New Sports Illustrated Rookie of the Day

Hannah Ferguson is a virtually unknown model, with a pretty non existent following, that we can assume was created by Trump, her modelling agency, who imported her from her Military parents in Texas, and groomed her to be one of his money makers, by lending her to Sports Illustrated to be one of their Rookie’s of the Year, a picture they put out to generate some buzz about their magazine…because that is the kind of press money can’t really buy, it’s just good old fashioned media manipulation… Here’s some pics from her instagram…because you’ll be seeing more of her, not that it’s a bad thing.

Curt Schilling Reveals Cancer Diagnosis

Curt Schilling, a former Major League Baseball All-Star and World Series MVP, has been diagnosed with cancer. The ex-pitcher and current ESPN analyst released a statement yesterday that reads: “I’ve always believed life is about embracing the gifts and rising up to meet the challenges. We’ve been presented with another challenge, as I’ve recently been diagnosed with cancer. “Shonda [Schilling’s wife] and I want to send a sincere thank you and our appreciation to those who have called and sent prayers, and we ask that if you are so inclined, to keep the Schilling family in your prayers.” At the moment, Schilling has chosen not to reveal the type of cancer from which he’s suffering. Schilling played for the Phillies, Diamondbacks and Red Sox, winning three World Series titles during a 20-year playing career. He joined ESPN as a studio analyst in 2010 and was selected to be part of the Sunday Night Baseball broadcast team this season. In his statement, the respected hurler remembered a few words of wisdom he received from his father, who passed away when Schilling was 21. “My father left me with a saying that I’ve carried my entire life and tried to pass on to our kids: ‘Tough times don’t last, tough people do,’ ” he said. “Over the years in Boston, the kids at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have shown us what that means. “With my incredibly talented medical team I’m ready to try and win another big game. I’ve been so very blessed and I feel grateful for what God has allowed my family to have and experience, and I’ll embrace this fight just like the rest of them, with resolute faith and head on.”
