Bill Kennedy, one of the NBA's top referees, has revealed he is gay.

"I am proud to be an NBA referee and I am proud to be a gay man," Kennedy told Yahoo Sports on Sunday night. "I am following in the footsteps of others who have self-identified in the hopes that will send a message to young men and women in sports that you must allow no one to make you feel ashamed of who you are."

In the game officials’ report used as part of the NBA's investigation – which includes details provided to Yahoo Sports from National Basketball Referee's Association general counsel Lee Seham – Kennedy and fellow referee Ben Taylor described Rondo's post-ejection diatribe as including the statements: "You're a mother------- ******. … You're a f------ ******, Billy."

Rondo is a SAVAGE

Good on him, the moment this doesn't becomes the headline I think we've won as a society.

Rondo is a motherfcker.

That's fine, reminds me of when one of the Collins brothers revealed his sexuality. In the NBA, I really don't think that's a big problem

Why is this important?

Don't care what orientation he claims, just stop being a shitty referee Bill.

Is this kind of thing newsworthy any more?

This made lol so much.

I saw the beginning of the thread title from the main forum page and all I could see was "NBA referee Bill Kennedy..." and I found myself thinking "Please God, tell me he's been fired." Dude is another Joe Crawford with his bullshit "EVERYONE LOOK AT ME, I'M PART OF THE SHOW TOO!" calls.

Being gay is so 00s, it's all about being a tranny now.
