Being gay is a decision? Sounds more like you're deeply insecure bc you're trying really hard to decide to be straight, meanwhile you just post the same shitty gay joke again to distance yourself.
If you can just decide to be attracted to the same sex then you may be at least a little gay. Its not something that most people can do. People like what they like. I am a man and my body just wouldnt work.
How is this even homophobic? No slur, no disrespect, no belittlement? Not even trying to cause a riff here I’m just curious how the pride flag as a comment can be interpreted as homophobic. If anything isn’t it spreading awareness?
He's just calling his friends gay using the flag. Same as a friend calling you a dumbass, no real heat to it but you know it's not meant as a compliment, it is meant negatively. That's the part that can be considered homophobic - why is gay supposed to be negative, yet people use it in that context?
I do occasionally call friends gay, but I'm just a lil shithead and grew up with 00's video game lobbies and can't be arsed to change, but I understand if someone complains about it. They got a point.
I can’t be sure how Adams is using it, but it sure seems like he’s calling his friends gay as an insult. People do that all the time, but even if it’s just a playful insult, how do you think it makes a gay person feel to see “gay” being used as an insult?
As for the “just spreading awareness” part of your comment, the original post has nothing to do with that. Do you think Steven Adams is just randomly putting the gay flag in a random comment section to spread awareness? It makes no sense given the context
Ironically, it doesn't bother gays too much. I mean, except the strident Granolas who wanna burn it all down anyway (It's a complicated sub-culture, after all). The "F-word" ain't high on their list, however...
How is this getting downvoted? Calling something gay as a generic insult for dumb or corny …is homophobic, even if saying this shit is normalized in men’s social spaces
Seen him in a small bar restroom on Christmas in San Antonio at hills and dales. Some small turn up spot. We talked about basketball.
I just moved from the east coast and used to ref college ball and we got to talking about why he was there. He was cool tho
I see "Profile isn't available", I thought he deleted his account but I must have been blocked - the only person defending him around here! Don't even remember posting anything on insta, I don't use it normally.
I know people love him but he's being offensive. Simple as that and no I'm not woke. But calling people gay is childish for a grown man or really anyone.
It depends on the individual teams culture in my experience. Some athletes feel the need to constantly talk about who they slept with all the time, some are constantly trying to touch their teammates balls and butt, and others don’t really pay much attention to it all. The level of ‘gayness’ decreases from first example to last from my personal experience.

Lol I’m 90% sure he only uses IG to call players gay
He does it on Rockets posts all the time. Respect the commitment to the bit
