Rugby Players Kissing

I like rugby. It's one of the coolest contact sports. The men are beefy and they don't wear gigantic pads like American Footballers. Plus, they're not so self-involved as US athlethes.

Oh. And did I mention. They kiss? Yeah.

Via Jockohomo:

Following last year’s campaign to attract Londoners to Paris, the Regional Tourism Committee of Paris Ile-de-France has once again called upon a French agency, to launch a new ad campaign in Britain’s capital. The campaign uses the offbeat wit of players kissing and the Rugby World Cup to show the world that Paris is also the capital of humour. The Paris region will be hosting several World Cup matches in September, including the final at the Stade de France. Kissing rugby player wallpaper here. Thanks Ben!

Tim Hardaway Hating on Gays: Channels Inner 13-year-old

During a radio interview with Miami Sports Columnist Dan Le Batard, former NBA forward Tim Hardaway let loose his inner feelings about gays when asked how he’d feel playing on a team with a teammate who was gay.

"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don’t like gay people and I don’t like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don’t like it. It shouldn’t be in the world or in the United States."

Lovely! Say, doesn't that sound like something Ole Joe, the plantation owner who lived in Alabama, said back in 1864? Yah, I think so, too.
