Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, April 10, 2008

From Seattle and psheehy, a link to a Jayda article with the following quote:

That truth was confirmed in an August magazine interview with co-owner Aubrey McClendon, who said, "We didn't buy the team to keep it in Seattle." McClendon also stated that he wasn't in favor of the Storm because he didn't want "those kind of women" in Oklahoma City — referring to lesbians. McClendon and co-owner Tom Ward have given $1.1 million to anti-gay marriage proponents.

The Oklahoma ownership group has since sold the Storm to four local women for $10 million, but was fined $250,000 for McClendon's remarks.

*steps up on soapbox*

First: Aubrey, what a small-minded, ignorant little shit you are.

Second: I believe Aubrey was fined for admitting he and the crew lied about wanting to keep the Sonics in Seattle, not for being a small-minded, ignorant little shit. It appears that only happens to NBA players.

Third: I don't know what the stats are, but the last I heard it's 1-in-10. So Aubrey, you small-minded, ignorant little shit, you might want to be careful who you mouth off to in Oklahoma City. Or, amongst your very small circle of friends.

Fourth: Considering the very visible gay community that came out (no pun intended) to support the women's Final Four ("Ybor businesses bank on lesbian basketball fans") and the fact that Oklahoma City loves its women's basketball (hello, can you read attendance numbers!) and that certain city peeps have expressed an interest in hosting the Final Four, maybe, Aubrey, you small-minded, ignorant little shit, you should just keep your small-minded, ignorant little shit thoughts to yourself before you paint an entire city with your small-minded, ignorant paintbrush.

*steps off soapbox and places it over Aubery's small-minded, ignorant little shit head.*
