The word is out
On the un-closeted arrival
Of a professional athlete

How is this news?

I mean really
Haven’t we been around long enough
To know
All that matters is who you are

Caring
Respectful
Trustworthy
And in the NBA
Productive

Enough of these phobias
Rebounds are rebounds
Defense is defense
And the pick and roll
Has nothing to do with a private life

Hopefully we will learn
That NBA stands
For “No Bigots Allowed.”
