Ted Cruz's father is a WHOPPING Moron!

I saw recently that Ted Cruz's father pronounced that if Gay people have equal rights, than football players will be FORCED to shower with girls. The shame!

Let me give you some background. I was never a football player myself, but in high school and in college I was acquainted with many. My cousin is married to a man who was the equipment manager of an NFL team for 20+ years. In that time, I had the opportunity to meet some of the team members.

I sincerely doubt that ANY of the football players I've ever met would consider showering with girls to be a punishment that they would be forced into. I can imagine the locker room conversation...

Coach: " Sorry guys, but because gay people have the same equal rights as straight people, You all MUST share the shower room with a whole lot of wet, soapy and naked girls"!

Players: " YAAAYYY!!! Hurray for gay people...More rights for EVERYBODY"!!!

This would, I'm sure, result in he mass doffing of uniforms and pads and a mad rush to the shower room that MIGHT result in some players being trampled. I'm fairly sure that they're have been more than a few X rated movies with exactly the same scenario involving football players and cheerleaders.

In Cruz's pea brain, I'm sure that he thought he was doing damage to the "hummasechel aginder". He MAY have succeeded in gaining the cause of LGBT equality legions of horny new allies!

Just my 2 cents, and quite possibly over priced at that!

PEACE!

"Scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe."

Despite the cosmologists, I think Frank was right, at least as it pertains to earth.

And down here on the rock, I think hydrogen might be slightly more plentiful. Some of us are only stupid some of the time; like when Democrats spend too much time kicking each other in the genitalia instead of remembering who the enemy is.

At http://www.mediaite.com/online/huckabee-jokes-about-pretending-to-be-transgender-to-shower-with-girls/ there is the following facetious comment which was made by Huckabee:

“Now I wish that someone told me that when I was in high school that I could have felt like a woman when it came time to take showers in PE. I’m pretty sure that I would have found my feminine side and said, ‘Coach, I think I’d rather shower with the girls today.'”


Thanks for informing me that Cruz's father, Rafael, made a similar comment. However, unlike Huckabee, Rafael was not trying to be humorous.

...he'd have probably spent his time in the shower "counseling" the girls on how they should be modest and wear bathing suits (1 piece, of course) while they cleanse their "holy temples"...Yikes!!!

PEACE!
