Dominant basketball player comes out as gay
Treated with such nonchalance
It was a woman
If it was a man who did the same exact thing
Everyone's head would have exploded
An N.F.L. player was going to come out (didn't)
That story got 10 times the traffic.
There are 2 stereotypes in the sports world;
No gay male athletes
Every female athlete is a lesbian
Reflection:
While reading the article, I wasn't shocked at all. I found that it was bringing to light what's really going on, not just in the sports world, but in the WORLD period. Writing this poem wasn't hard at all. I just picked out the things that stuck out to me, and wrote it in a poem form. The hard part was finding an article that stuck out to me. The New York Times paper was honestly boring, and almost EVERYTHING was about Boston. I'm not trying to be inconsiderate or anything, my heart goes out to those who lost loved ones However, I just felt like story seemed repetitive. I just wanted to do something new. Bring awareness to what's really happening in the world....
