Dolce far niente

"Too much law make people mad." "Hawai'i"

Barf

If you don't read the sports' section, you may not be aware that there is such a thing as gay softball. There is even an association, the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance (NAGAAA), that oversees the enterprise. It has been allowed to limit team membership to no more than two non-gay players, but is now being sued by three bisexual men whose team was disqualified because they were "not gay enough."

At the risk of being falsely labeled as homophobic, I ask, "What is so unique about gay softball?" Do they throw like girls, take mincing steps on the basepaths, or sing show tunes in the dugout? In their search for equal treatment under law, how does a group which acknowledges that straight men are superior softball players further that cause? The NAGAAA seems to be as embarrassing as the vomiting sound their acronym creates.
