The joke was stupid and lowbrow. It doesn’t even make sense given that “Brokeback Mountain” depicts no penetration. It would have made more sense for him to say, “This game featured so much penetration, it was pornographic,” or to have referenced “Deep Throat” or “Debbie Does Dallas.” Jackson’s line is low on the offensiveness scale, but it really is a cheap joke at the expense of gays. He could have referenced any movie with sex scenes, but he singled out the one mainstream movie with a male-on-male sex scene. Does it mean that Jackson hates gays? I sincerely doubt it, but it was a lame joke nonetheless.

Gonzo, don’t get your info from Norman. get it from me.

Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) president Neil G. Giuliano issued a statement saying: “Phil Jackson’s been coaching long enough that he should be able to talk about the Lakers’ performance without resorting to cheap gay jokes.”

Wow a Brokeback Mountain joke. Did I just stumble into 2005?

funniest thing about this whole situation was Sean Salisbary was asked about it and he said 2 or 3 times, â€œI haven’t seen the movie, so I have no clue what that even means.€

What’s more inappropriate, making that joke (which wasn’t inappropriate at all) or asking a football analyst with a history of sexual harassment about the inappropriateness of the joke?

Lozo, it seems the

Gay & lesbian Corporation

or whatever they are called, is NOT angry about his statement. according to Boomer Esiason, they laughed it off.

why does the gay and lesbian get involved and call this an attack on gays? “cheap gay jokes?” dipshits, it was a penetration, not a gay joke. men penetrate women, too.

phil didn’t say, “We call this a Brokeback Mountain game because we played like a bunch of fags.” what if he said, “We call this a 9 1/2 Weeks game because there’s so much penetration.”?

come up for some air, gay people.

He sure wanted to make a point of claiming he didn’t see the movie. The video might still be up on ESPN, well worth the laughs.

Phil Jackson is still coaching? Didn’t know that.

He probably got the Brokeback reference because of his incredibly gay goatee.

“We call this the George Micheal game. Because we were just f$$$ed in the bushes in a park. And then the Spurs eventually arrested us.”
