So the Heat sweep the Bucks, the Dolphins draft a few dudes, but new Dolphins FA receiver MIKE WALLACE IS IGNORANT Y'ALL, so I'm posting about it.
If you haven't read this (and please, go read it, it's wonderfully written), then you won't know that NBA center and 12-year veteran Jason Collins has come out today. This is the first openly gay player in the four major sports leagues, ever. But even if you haven't, Wallace has. Or at least he read about someone reading or, or heard it from somebody, or none of these things happened and he just heard something about a gay dude through the grape vine. Or maybe he was just listening to some Elton John. Either way, something possessed Mr. Wallace to speak out about the gay rights issue; well, that wouldn't fully grasp it. Well, Wallace decided to speak out about something, at least. And of course, he did so on Twitter to his some followers and anybody who follows those people who saw those people tweet about it, like me.
Wallace has deleted his tweet, but this is what it read: "All these beautiful women in the world and guys wanna mess with other guys SMH"
SMH guys. Shake. My. Head. I don't understand either, Mr. Wallace. I don't understand...never mind. Don't worry about it.
Wallace has since tweeted this:
Never said anything was right or wrong I just said I don't understand!! Deeply sorry for anyone that I offended

So yeah. Hopefully Wallace catches footballs better than he understands things. Carry on with your day folks.
UPDATE: Here is the official response from the Miami Dolphins organization:
“Mike Wallace has apologized for his comments, and we have addressed the matter with him. Mike’s comments do not reflect the views of the Miami Dolphins. We believe in a culture of inclusiveness and respect, and any statements to the contrary are in no way acceptable to our organization.
“We will address the entire team about our policy of inclusion and make sure they all understand the importance of respecting individual choices.”
