Deadspin
Much has been made in recent days of Gonzaga's student cheering section, "The Kennel," taunting opposing players with chants of "Brokeback! Mountain!" This, of course, is a tradition, fans yelling the names of Oscar frontrunners to rattle opposing teams; who can forget the Cameron Crazies' spirited "Shakespeare! In! Love!" or the Illini's Orange Krush screaming "Terms Of! ... Endearment!" (Scott Meents was properly inspired.)
Some might call call this gay-bashing, or, at the very least, gay-baiting. (Though we still think it would be fantastic if Johnny Weir came out for his performance in a cowboy hat and danced to Brokeback's music.) But you can always count on the Catholics to come up with a defense of such an endeavor; this writer, tongue-in-cheek (we hope), tries to fashion a linguistic argument.
Personally, looking at those guys in the picture, we think there's a subtext here worth perhaps exploring. "I don't think you boys are going to the McCarthey Athletic Center to watch basketball ..."
