While the NBA wants the world to focus on the Finals, there's another word that starts with an "F" that's plaguing the league. Yes, the word that ends in "t" -- with "aggot" in the middle. (Think about it.) After two prominent players, including American icon Kobe Bryant, drew fines recently for dropping the "gay F-word" on the court, it begs the question: do we hate the player or hate the game?
The NBA has since released several pro-gay PSAs. But none of them really seem to be hitting the mark in the right way. So, listen up Kobe Bryant and other haters. Next time you feel the urge to call someone a "f****t" on the court, heed this common-sense advice from my PSA. To wit: Don't say it, just think it. Because actions speak louder than words, but thoughts don't make any sound at all.

Ladies and gentlemen, the facts have changed. Isn't it time to evolve and no longer give weight to any word that is directed at offending somebody. The comedy website Cracked did a great job in an article listing "9 Words You've Used Today With Bizarre Criminal Origins" and South Park as well in their episode "The F Word" explaining that it should now mean a Harley biker.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone attempt to do this in the episode...

Let's no longer allow words to have the power to offend us.
Again, apologies. Im sure Bryan Safi is appropriat
It is okay for pro sports players to cheat on wives and families every chance they can... sleep around with who knows who and it is kept underwraps
Let me tell you gay athletes are just as good as straight athletes. The problem is homophobia is an American value taught to kids so they can hate early on, when in reality it is just a person's misinforme
When you preach hate... no one wins... when do you turn to hating Jewish people, blacks, Irish, German, Italian, Women, or any other segment of the population that does not cater to your viewpoint.
The reason is simple because we are all Americans. And we should all have the freedom to pursue our goals... without harm.
Don"t say it.....
Elaborated
Two players out of 500 or so got caught saying an offensive word. Thats all it is. And neither of these players were using the word in a way referring to homosexual
Were kobe and noah a bit irresponsi
