"Phil Jackson’s been coaching long enough that he should be able to talk about the Lakers’ performance without resorting to cheap gay jokes,” GLAAD President Neil Giuliano said in a statement.The NBA has spoken with the Los Angeles Lakers about a sexual reference coach Phil Jackson made in a comment following Tuesday night's game in San Antonio.
The Spurs made 13 3-pointers in their 107-92 victory, and Jackson was asked if too much penetration was leading to open outside shooters.
"We call this a 'Brokeback Mountain' game, because there's so much penetration and kickouts," Jackson said. "It was one of those games."
The 2005 film, which won three Oscars, depicts two cowboys who conceal their homosexual affair.

lol. That's great. My gay friends are going to love it.
Ya know, that's what i don't get. If you're in with an ethnic group of people or the glbt community, you can sling slurs back and forth all day, and life is good; but if someone outside the clique tosses one in a friendly, but joking, manner, all hell breaks loose. Wtf is wrong with people?
I don't know when it happened CNut, but people like being victims. Being offended about damn near anything anyone says is fashionable these days.
The old addage of sticks and stones is no longer taught in the kindergarten sandbox it seems.
