I know you probably don't know who he is but I bet you know who Jerry Sloan is.

Unbeknownst to me at the time," Amaechi wrote, "Sloan had used some anti-gay innuendo to describe me. It was confirmed via e-mails from friends who worked in high-level front-office jobs with the Jazz.

I used to like the Jazz and I used to like Sloan. Now, not so much.

Also, as if there's an outsports.com website.

Jerry Sloan a jerk? Nooooo....

And I'm sure you've called someone a fag or said something was gay at some point in your lifetime Zan. Don't be a hypocrite.

There is a difference between making jokes and making derogatory comments about someone behind their back to people he works with. It just speaks volumes to his character IMO.

I agree, but you don't know to what extent and you don't know what was actually said. Some anti-gay innuendo could have been anything and also at the time Jerry Sloan didn't know he was gay. For all you know it could have been a passing remark like "Oh, that fag's probably writing poetry or something." or "Oh that homo? He's odd but a nice guy.". Not defending Jerry Sloan, for all I know he could be a bigot, but I'm saying it's unfair to judge considering you don't really know for sure what he said, especially since it wasn't quoted and especially because it was hearsay.

Well the fact that someone felt the need to bring it up to Amaechi later just tells me it most likely wasn't a polite rib.

Maybe and maybe not. Things can easily be taken out of context.

Well I can't help but think he's a bigot. It's my opinion and I can't change it now.
