What a novel and creative way to get your employer to put you on paid administrative leave.

who cares?

Lol. I thought something else.

This text highlights the puckhead culture that exists at the highest level in our sports media coverage... specifically, that it’s a sin to like basketball / anything not puck related.

So did I, and I could easily see that being true. Either way, we support you Rog!

Yes. Join us.

To be fair, the NBA and basketball is a vastly superior product to the NHL and MLB right now. This Raptor's team is the best thing to happen to Toronto sports, maybe ever.

We're at a point where old dudes are coming out of the closet to admit they like the Raptors and the NBA the most...

Not like there is anything wrong with that

If Don Cherry came out the same way...now that would be real news.

The twitter comments are giving me the feels. So much hoop support in Toronto.

The times, they are a changing...

Yeah even reading the tweet I had to do a double take to understand what was going on between the thread title and the tweet. On first glance I was like "mans caught a chubby watching a basketball game and came out? He's wildin."

Mature me read decided to read again and realize it was a play on words. Good for him either way I guess.

Pfft. Frontrunner.

I have no idea who that is.

**** you just made me feel old

winning over the puckheads is huge

of course the raptors don't at all need this validation, but it's nice to see. no need for negativity or gatekeeping

The hockey world...

that was totally not what I was expecting. great title LMAO.

My dad came out of the closet in his late 60's (was a hockey and baseball fan). His love for the Raptors has grown so much in the past 6 years to the point that the Raptors are his favourite team to watch for the last few years. And of course it hit its peak with last year's run.

He is living in Florida this winter, and is currently in Raptors withdrawal. He would have loved to have gone to an Orlando or Miami game between January and March but the Raps are not down there.

He gets really happy when the Raps are on ESPN so he can watch them play.

And1'ed for the title... totally fell for it lol
