Moving on to the homosexual nonsense they like to reference. The last time I checked Brokeback Mountain was a movie. In other words, fiction. For those who don't know (apparently many Skins fans) that means "not real." I haven't seen it and probably never will. It just doesn't interest me at all. However, I did read previews of the movie.
First of all it takes place in Wyoming, not Texas. Second of all they are sheep herders. That's right, sheep, not cows. The hat does not make you a cowboy any more than putting on a fireman's helmet would make you a fireman.
Apparently in the nation's capital people are not aware of the hatred between sheep herders and cattle ranchers. Uh, they hate each other. Ever heard of the Lincoln County Range Wars? Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett, and all the actual History? All of that was about sheep versus cows. There's a range war in Arizona that I wrote about that was even bigger and bloodier. It set Arizona statehood back 30 years it was so violent. Ask me via PMs if you're interested in knowing more.
The simple truth is anyone who calls a sheep herder a cowboy is out of his freaking mind. The word is cowboy and it implies working with bovine. For those not in tune with the Latin, that means cows. The silliest thing about this remains that it was a damned movie, not real life. Let's talk about real life.
First of all let's put to rest the Troy Aikman allegations. Those were started by none other than Skip Bayless. You want to know why he's so bitter against Dallas? Folks he lost his job because of those allegations. His own fault for printing lies. That's right, it isn't true as has been proven many times over. The weak stuff about Tony Homo is about as 6th grade as it gets. Oh wow, you changed a letter in his name. How original.
I told you there was truth to be shared to expose this weak smack. Let's share it. The first athlete to ever "come out of the closet" was RB Dave Kopay in 1975. Dave played for 5 teams in a 9 year career. He wrote a book after coming out wherein he revealed he had a homosexual relationship while a member of the Commanders, with a teammate on the Commanders, Jerry Smith. Jerry Smith was an All Pro TE who played for the Commanders for 13 years. He was the first professional athlete to die from AIDS.
Now, I'm not suggesting either of these players should be bashed for their lifestyle and certainly not for Smith's death. I'm merely suggesting that it's rather stupid to sling mud about homosexuality when probably the dirtiest mud is on your team. What's more damning here folks? Tony Homo, or an actual documented homosexual relationship?
In fact, according to Dave Kopay, the Assistant General Manager of the Commanders in his years there "came out" after he left the team. So this homosexuality they joke about extended from the locker room to the front office on their team.
Hey, I told you their smack talk on these subjects was weak because it showed they don't know squat about their own team.
"And now you know.......the rest of the story.
Paul Harvey......good day."
