Tried to capture it but these stupid computers have no photo editing programs so I can't save the file.

Not a bad article. In a way, I think it's sad that they have to do a whole article on someone coming out. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that they did, but I think we live in a world where that should just be accepted and dealt with without a ton of publicity. Personally, as long as we win, I don't care what sexual orientation any of my teammates are. Good for him though--it takes courage to do what he did.

I agree Chris. I'm glad he's doing well and atleast in this article, he's not being put down or harassed. The feeling I'm getting as of late is we won't have too many more articles on things like this. People just don't seem to care as much (atleast not around here), it's common place.

More good work Matt.

WOW, total guess...with a little thought. I was going to say Shaq, but I realized Suns-Spurs was tonight so my guess was Nash or Duncan and since everyone is in love with Nash recently, I said him.

Or I am just that d*mn good.

I wouldn't say it's sad....to me it's more indicative of good progress being made in an environment that most would assume is not as warm to what Goldstein did. Different layers of society treat change differently, even if it is for the better. People who are ethnic minorities are likely to feel more at ease in a city like New York or Boston than somewhere in the deep south....this is a similar concept in my book.

Nevertheless, he should be applauded for his courage, and what should also be celebrated is the fraternity that is a lacrosse team and how they rallied around their teammate.

As a hispanic male and can agree to an extent. Don't forget about the good 'ol boys in the south that are still bitter about losing the war.

yeah and the French Open got pre-empted for a semifinal game weather delay and 20 minute post game higlight show. I was pretty surprised. ESPN and ESPN2 did a good job this weekend.
