Dallas Mavericks
owner Mark Cuban told TMZ yesterday that he expects to see an openly gay
player before a woman coach, probably within the next three to five
years, the Dallas Voice reports.
Said Cuban: I don’t think there’s really the
perception that we are intolerant. I think the only issues we’ve had is
with some fallback and some old-school type language that’s derogatory
to gays. So there are certain words that I think were accepted five or
10 ten years ago that guys are starting to recognize you can’t use any
longer, and that hasn’t been a problem. So I think it will be more of a
media sensation when somebody comes out than it will be a player issue.
