This is looking to be a fairly gay Super Bowl. Madonna is doing the halftime show and now comes news that gay icon David Beckham will be in his underwear as part of an ad by fashion retailer H&M.

Laura Robson wears rainbow hair ribbon at Australian Open
British tennis player Laura Robson wore a rainbow hair ribbon at the Australian Open on Sunday, and she was well aware that the gesture made a statement about equality for LGBT people. She said, according to The Guardian: “It was just a rainbow-coloured hairband,” Robson said. “I didn’t see anything about a protest today. I [...]
The Alabama homo “homeaux” T-shirt controversy
Unicorn Booty picked up on a site that marketed this T-shirt. It was created to sell after Alabama beat up on LSU tonight in some bowl game or something in New Orleans (the score would be printed at the end of the game and distributed in the hours afterward). “Homeaux” is supposed to be a [...]
Joe Flacco of the Ravens has the NFL’s ugliest mustache
My friend Brent had the best reaction to that growth sprouting from the face of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, on display before a national TV audience Sunday night: As soon as I saw Flacco with his attempt to go all gay butch in the 70′s – I knew the Ravens were doomed. Share on [...]
Speedo’s new swimsuit promises more speed and will show more skin
Now that the swimming federation FINA has banned full-body swimsuits as the equivalent of fashion doping, Speedo has unveiled its newest suit that promises faster times. And, as a bonus, will show us more of the swimmer’s body. The Fastskin3 suit, unveiled today in London, site of the 2012 Olympics, combines a suit, a cap [...]
New Miami Marlins uniform leaked…featuring a rainbow?
Apparently someone in Miami didn’t learn the lesson of the Denver Nuggets. The latter featured one of the ugliest logos in sports for years, with a rainbow silhouette of the Denver skyline. Now the Miami Marlins (formerly of Florida) are trading in their longtime teal-and-black combination for — well — a rainbow. And while the team won’ [...]
Boxing Association may force female boxers to wear skirts
Imagine gay athletes having to wear pink tutus when they play, or a black athlete being forced to wear a do-rag when they participate. That’s what the Amateur International Boxing Association is trying to do with women, floating the idea that women may soon have to wear skirts in the ring. Women have long worn shorts, [...]
Hot Halloween costume for 2011: Mongolian wrestlers
Mongolians take their wrestling seriously…and their wrestling outfits even more seriouslier. In 2004, China set the world record for the largest wrestling tournament with over 2,000 competitors. That didn’t sit well with these Mongolians, who staged a 6,000-person wrestling tournament over the weekend to take the new world record (though, with over a billion people [...]
Aaron Rodgers calls tight tanktop and snug pants on Mark Sanchez “embarrassing”
Why is Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers so upset about the photo shoot of New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez in September’s GQ? With his NFL opener against the New Orleans Saints fast approaching, Rodgers had choice words specifically for the tight tanktop and snug jeans Sanchez was wearing in one photo in particular [...]
Michael Irvin on the cover of ‘Out,’ talks about his gay brother, supports gay marriage
Read the full article in Out magazine here. It was about two years ago that Michael Irvin first talked to me about a secret he’s carried with him for 30 years. “You know, Cyd, my brother was gay,” he said. Actually, I didn’t know. And neither did virtually any of Michael’s teammates at the University [...]
St. Louis Rams Danny Amendola does shirtless cover shoot, likes to dress like a lesbian
Last season I picked wide receiver Danny Amendola as my hot player of Week 1 in the NFL after he became a starter. He’s been certainly noticed by a lot more people and did a cover shoot for “Alive,” a lifestyle magazine in St. Louis. In a making-of video for the shoot, Amendola gets shirtless [...]
Tom Brady sports a ponytail
Normally, the hair styles of NFL quarterbacks are no big deal, but when you are married to a superstar model and start to look more like Justin Bieber than a jock, fans take notice. Such is the case with Tom Brady. The New England Patriots quarterback caused a stir last season when his new mop [...]
Sean Avery gets naked for Marc Jacobs
New York Ranger Sean Avery stripped for designer Marc Jacobs and a new campaign to fight skin cancer called “Protect the skin you’re in.” The campaign is designed to raise funds for NYU cancer research. Avery’s interest in fashion is well-documented, so Marc Jabos must be right up his alley… Hat tip to the Advocate. [...]
Outsports gear
Longtime Outsports community member Munson Man asked me this week how he can order some Outsports gear, since so much of his had faded. Well here you have it: Our Outsports store. It’s been around for a while, but we haven’t promoted it enough. There are t-shirts, hats, boxer shorts, sweatshirts, mugs…you name it. And [...]
Packers’ billiard-ball uniforms the worst ever
We need Comic Book Guy to say “worst uniforms ever!” about the hideous throwbacks worn Sunday by the Green Bay Packers. They were the same uniforms worn by the 1929 championship Packers and in this case older does not mean better. The ugly brown helmets were meant to resemble leather helmets of the era, but [...]
