So yeah, every sports channel you turn on now will probably have some talking head screaming at the top of his or her lungs at how much of a heel Alex Rodriguez is for allegedly testing positive for steroids. But one item that’s not being talked about that much is that the author of the story on SI.com just announced she has a book coming out in May. What’s the subject? You guessed it: Alex Rodriguez.
Bob’s Blitz is reporting a rumor that the book may question the Yankees slugger’s sexuality and the role steroids play in his struggles. The blog makes specific mention of a quote from a stripper from an old NY Daily News article:
A petite stripper at the Hustler Club said A-Rod “likes the she-male, muscular type. They brought me up to the champagne room one time. I spun around once and that was it. I’m not his type.”
A-Rod possibly being gay? Well, that certainly makes things a little more interesting. And just how interesting to see that Sports Illustrated just HAPPENED to announce the author’s new A-Rod book right after they publish the article.
Coincidence? Oh, sure.

“a look at Arod’s struggle with his sexuality” is not the same as ‘Arod is gay’ – is it?
I read that more as perhaps steroids and their effects on sex drive, his divorce due to hanging with she-males, etc., or even his over aggressive sex drive (read hanging with Madonna, instead of Cynthia).

“I wasn’t even honest with myself.”
He just said that in an ESPN interview. That sound more like it??

It kinda brings new meaning to a quote from Madonna, circa the ’90s: “I admire any man who has the balls to ask me out.”

Madonna is always the TOP…

“She-male” coming from an insecure stripper could just mean a woman who goes to the gym and doesn’t do crystal meth.
Does anyone really care about steroids in baseball given that the entire MLB colluded in the doping era?
I also don’t care if A-Rod is gay. I don’t care if anybody is gay anymore. I kind of wish they’d just leave people alone with all of that.

I think the only reason it would be significant if he were gay, is if he gay bashed. Otherwise, who benefits from outing him except media outlets trying to get web clicks and readers?

She got rejected by him so she was pissed and therefore has to imply that he must be gay since he didn’t like her. The silly stripper was probably just ugly..

The nation–baseball fans in particular–would forgive him for roids long before they’d accept his homosexuality.

I see Johnny Damon doesn’t agree…
