long-awaited approval by NFL Dinosaurs

I am not gay...

However, were I, I think I would today be feeling immense relief and long-awaited validation. It's been reported in the sports news over the past several days that the rigidly- and blatantly-denied acceptance of gay men in NFL locker rooms might be creeping toward an end.

Wow! Gay men everywhere must feel such great relief to know that this critically important social barometer is about to sway in their favor. I mean, what more does any man (or woman for that matter) need than to know that his sexual preference may no longer be found off-putting to a collection of steroid-filled, overly-aggressive, grossly over-paid half-wits? (I'm being generous with the "half" credit.)

The reporting on this phenomenon is the only thing more despicable than the idea of it's existence in 2013. To cheer or even acknowledge the dragging along of dinosaurs into what has been for some time a commonly-swam pool of progressive belief by a majority of the rest of society is ridiculous. Would we be equally excited, even giddy, about a group of Neo-Nazis finally relaxing their hatred, just a bit, toward peoples of others races or religions? I think not.

To report on this without including commentary on how insane it is to be reporting on it is borderline criminal. I mean, are they serious with these stories? Is there some carefully-hidden sarcasm on which I'm not picking up?

Well, since there is no lack of ceremonial praise and accolade directed at the collective NFL playership, I guess I should join in by offering this: "Bravo to you, near majority of NFL athletes! Kudos for almost, just barely showing the same level of forward-thinking, rational, and progressive moral judgement that the average eight-year-old has been able to grasp for decades. Your example of "acceptance" should pave the way for countless unborn generations...(were those countless generations to be born in Eighteenth-Century Pakistan ;) )"
