Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (February 06, 2009)

It's easy to see why tennis is so appealing. Two sweaty warriors in battle, using all their masculinity to overpower each other. And that's just the women! ... Just kidding! I love watching the women play, and the fact that it's co-ed just adds to the drama in the sport. And when your poster boy's last name could make the perfect gay porn name, it's clear why tennis is so popular with gay men.

On the other hand, a team sport like football does nothing for some gay men but remind them of the pummeling they endured while forced to play in school. The same goes for hockey (and its evil junior high school spawn, floor hockey), baseball, and basketball. But there's one team sport that many of us uncoordinated gay kids excelled at, and would actually look forward to.

Kickball kicked ass! First of all, the ball was huge, so it was easy to catch and kick, and it didn't hurt nearly as much as when you were hit by a baseball (which for some reason I was beaned with countless times). And people actually picked me for their teams ... and not last! I wasn't a star player by any means, but at least for one moment I wasn't just the obviously gay kid in right back, back, back field praying no one would hit the ball to me.

Of course, I'm generalizing with all of this. I realize that there are plenty of gay men who love watching these team sports. Are you one of them? let us know with our next poll!
