Chicago White Sox Carl Everett is a homophobic idiot

[Cannikin]

saw this on MSNBC

About homosexuals, Everett said "Gays being gay is wrong. Two women can't produce a baby, two men can't produce a baby, so it's not how it's supposed to be. ... I don't believe in gay marriages. I don't believe in being gay."

The White Sox DH also ripped on baseball fans, saying that "Fan is short for fanatic — he's crazy about something he really doesn't know about. And it's proven that 99 percent of baseball fans have no idea what they're watching."

Everett had plenty of other targets during the interview:

Wrigley Field, the worst ballpark: "They need to implode Wrigley."

Jose Canseco is a "bitter, ignorant individual."

The congressional steroid hearings were ludicrous: "We have a war going on — I have family in that war — yet we're talking about steroids. ... If everybody in the world got on steroids, we'll still lose more kids to a war than we will from steroids."

1. Carl...is out there. He doesn't believe dinosaurs existed either.

[Fenris]

2. He plays for the White Sox.

Enough said. :)

[JackDragna]

18. Pfft..as if any of those things are correlated

Go back to your hole, you yuppy, fair-weather Cub fan (or whoever the hell you root for). :)

[MrScorpio]

24. Double 'nuff said

[WeRQ4U]

25. Enough Said XEleventyBajillion

[nickgutierrez]

3. The last two statements make sense

Blind squirrel, nut, you know the rest. :shrug:

[sasquatch]

4. I do like what he said about the steroid hearings though

Hmm...Perhaps we could reach out to him and try to convert him.

[terrya]

5. What a dullard.

"Gay being gay is wrong". As opposed to heterosexuals being gay??

"Two women can't produce a baby, two men can't produce a baby, so it's not how it's supposed to be. ... I don't believe in gay marriages" So, married heterosexual couples who can't or won't have children is "not how it's supposed to be"?

"I don't believe in being gay". Ignorant to the nth degree. It's not a "belief", nitwit.

6. now, now, he just has a differing opinion

he aLso has an 'opinion' on dinosaurs (no such thing) and our Landing on the moon (never happened).

i think he's a jehovah, but i'm shocked scientoLogy hasn't scooped him up yet.

i'm waiting for him to head butt an umpire again.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

11. Remember when he played for Boston?

Whackjob.

[sniffa]

19. yeah, he head butted the umpire

even for his insanity, he occasionaLLy makes me bust a gut (not at him)..


remember when he caLLed dan shaughnessy the 'curLy haired boyfriend'? :rofl:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

20. Yep

:rofl:

he's certifiable. I heard other players were afraid of him.

[Debi]

7. So, I guess he doesn't get any BJ's at home, eh?

I mean if you can't produce a child with the act, no reason to do it. :eyes:

[Gildor Inglorion]

8. Silly, worthless creature...

getting paid millions to play a child's game doesn't make his ignorant, bigoted opinions worth listening to. He'd do well to remember that not so long ago, inter-racial marriage was illegal and people made the same hate-filled religious arguments against it, too. The White Sox's fans should boycott all their games until they get rid of him.

:grr:

[madrchsod]

9. yup that`s crazy carl

why would anyone really care what he thinks..he`s a baseball player.and yes they should tear down wrigley before it falls down-hey northsiders you can build another ivy covered wall

[Gato Moteado]

10. keep your hands of wrigley

[Initech]

12. Quick! He's turning into the Tom Cruise of baseball!

It sure does sound like it, anyway!

[KamaAina]

22. More like Cruise is turning into the Carl Everett of Hollywood

Carl's been out there for a long, long time -- since well before he changed his Sox.

[Initech]

23. They're both nuts, BUT...

Neither Cruise nor Everett can match Mike Tyson's insanity.

[swimmernsecretsea]

13. He's not an expert on anything. He's a sports figure.

Why do they even bother to write down the blather that they speak? I mean, come on! Tom Cruise issuing advice on mental health, brain chemistry, and post-partum depression? Why do we bother to ask celebrities and sports figures their opinion on issues of which they are most certainly NOT experts on?

One of my favorite authors, Harlan Ellison, said something like "Everyone is entitled to an informed and enlightened opinion."

[XNASA]

14. Correction.

Chicago White Sox Carl Everett is a 'switch-hitting' homophobic idiot.

And those are hard to find.

[Catfight]

15. I find the irony in a lunatic talking about ludicrous things. Oh the humor

[LisaM]

16. What does he think about people who are infertile?

Is it wrong for them to have sex, if they can't procreate?

Hey, if I played for the White Sox, I would have a bad impression of fans, too.

[48pan]

17. The Red Sox got rid of him because he was a dick...

Nothing seems to have changed.

[EC]

21. So being gay is a belief? ... n/t

[Cannikin]

27. I dont believe so

:P

[AngryAmish]

26. He's right at home on the South Side
