Can you handle this article?

I read this article on Lil B and the release of his new album 'I'm Gay.'

After reading this article I believe people shouldn't make things dealing with the gay community a big deal, unless they are offended by it or bring it up first.  In my personal opinion I don't care if people are gay or not.  They are normal people like the rest of us and should be allowed to like and be with who they choose.  As it states in the article Lil B is known for his odd song titles before this so I really don't think he is meaning anything bad or negative towards the gay community.  Also as stated in the article it could simply mean he is happy?  Either way I think people shouldn't be making a big deal about it.  I also agree with the article when they say hip hop and rap is getting away from its dark side and becoming a little more homo.  To me it is about the music and how it sounds.  I wouldn't care if the artist is black or white, or male or female, or even straight or gay.  The America's Top Five songs on the radio change everyday from Katy Perry to Keshia to Eminem.  This shows me other Americans also feel the same way when they know too it doesn't matter who created the song, they are only worried about how it sounds.

Too Risky?

I read this article about a football player who has a lot going on in his life which is very interesting


If this kid has the talent to be playing in the NFL then he should be, no questions asked.  After going through a full recovery from having a brain tumor his doctors cleared him to play football so I don't believe teams should have to worry about that.  As far as the watches and gifts go I dont blame him.  he is a 20 some year old kid who didnt know better.  what kid his age wouldnt take a free watch?  I know I would if I was a poor college student.  For him taking those watches he was banned from NCAA football for life.  I do not see how this plays into the factor of him being drafted or not?  It's not like he shot someone or got introuble with drugs like some players in the NFL do.  It is the agent who should be penalized for offering them to him in the first place.  I hope this kid does get drafted because if you are that good at a sport that means you have dedicated your life to that sport and I dont think these minor issues should hold him back from achieving his ultimate goal.
