Deadspin
You might remember tennis player Richard Gasquet's loud proclamations that he does not like doing it with dudes. Fair enough. But it now appears Mr. Gasquet is in serious danger of protesting too much.
In an interview last month, Gasquet was asked some questions that had absolutely nothing to do with him being gay. Not that it didn't inspired him to defend himself anyway.
Q. Now your matches are finished. Do you still have any plan to go around the city maybe with your uncle or your girlfriend?
RICHARD GASQUET: My uncle? No. My girlfriend, no. I have no girlfriend, so I will try to find one, one Chinese girl. Why not? Why not? I lost 6-1, 6-1. It will be very hard for me tonight. I'm ready to lose, you know.
Q. Who is the girl watching your match with your uncle?
RICHARD GASQUET: Not my girl. I don't know. Not my girl, for sure. No, no, no, I have just friends. Men friends, but I'm not gay.
So, you know, if you're up for a Richard Gasquet denial of gaydom, just walk up to him on the street and say hi. He'll be happy to oblige.

Why not one Chinese girl indeed?
Queue "not that there's anything wrong with that in 3, 2, 1...."
I don't know about his sexual orietation, but that shirt sure is gay.
I'LL FUCK ANYTHING THAT MOOOOOOOOOOVES!

Did Izod alligator shirts make a comeback? I remember the cool kids wore those in like the 6th grade.
When I go out and play tennis, I like to watch the men reach into their pockets and go straight for the bulge where the balls are, you know... so they can serve again. Now, I've played tennis naked before... and I've seen where men have to stuff their balls then. And yeah, we grunt and groan, but there ain't no penetration. I'm not gay. I'm not sitting on a banana right now. I ain't do down with that. Ohhh!

Methinks he doth wear one terrible shirt.
Would any self-respecting gay man want to do it with that pizza face? He looks like a Kornheiser in a wig, beaten with a sack full of frozen nickles.
@Technicolor Jan Stenerud: +3
Richie, have you ever seen a grown man naked?
So Dick Gasket isn't gay? Okay! Good to know.
Home-schooling is hell on social development.
Wait, this guy is a pro athlete and he only wants one Chinese girl? That ain't right.
Your mouth says no, but your loosely-buttoned Lacoste rugby shirt says, "take a run at me, big fella."
I like my beer cold, my TV loud and my French tennis players FUH-LAMING!
With a name like Dick Gasket, I'd be making sure people knew this every chance I got, too.
Rex Grossman wants his French alias back Dick Gasquet.
One chinese girl? He's just going to be horny again in a half hour.
@Tuffy: You win, you always do.
Q: Are you gay?
A: I think I'm going out to get a sandwich with my uncle. I play tennis. My shirt is quite nice, don't you think. One Chinese girl. 6-1, 6-1. It is very hard.
When asked if he wanted 2 Chinese girls, Gasquet responded "I'm not gay! Would you like a blowjob? I'm not gay!"
@greglooseanus: settle down Francis.
After the match I plan to go ride with Sebastien Gacond. Wait! No!
Who wants to sex Gasquet?
Sounds like someone's watched Madame Butterfly a few hundred thousand times.
ESPN censors: Richard Gas####
What's to deny? It's already been established that he's French.
How do you define a just friend?
He returns the favor.
Interviewer: Do you eat oysters?
Gasquet: When I have them, master.
Interviewer: Do you eat snails?
Gasquet: No, master.
Interviewer: Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?
Gasquet: No, master.
Interviewer: Of course not. It is all a matter of taste, isn't it?
Gasquet: Yes, master.
Interviewer: And taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals.
Gasquet: It could be argued so, master.
Interviewer: My robe, Antoninus. My taste includes both snails and oysters.
I look forward to the next pro athlete interview in Non-Sequitir Monthly.
Brady Quinn wishes we would all just leave Richard alone.
@Clare: +1, and and Oscar nomination!
Chinese girl, Thai ladyboy prostitute...They all look alike anyways.
Instead of Chinese, can i recommend someone that's half black & Asian?
- Nelly
Riley Freeman has some choice words for Richard Gasquet.
@Shea Guevara: That's a comedy pyramid unto itself....
Interviewer: Tony, the Cowboys face a tough test in the Packers this week. How do you plan to stop them?
Romo: Well, we just need to keep on making our plays. Speaking of the Packers, Carrie Underwood's crotch smells like tunafish.
@Midwestern-City_Water-Vapor: Tiger Woods doesn't want to be left out.
Didn't Tim Hardaway answer a question the same way once?
Look how he's dressed! No gay man would ever be caught in clothes that unstylish!
Who is this homo anyway?
@Chad Sexington: I'd rather have to deal with Riley then Huey.
In the full interview, it looks like Chinese reporters asking him questions, which I imagine he answered in French. So maybe this is all a translation issue. But he's still probably totally ####.
When did Ben Folds start playing tennis and talking about Chinese girls anyway?
@Chief Wahoo: +1
For a minute I thought that was a photo of Cooper Manning.
Eli Manning likes his style.
If Richard Gasquet is gay, it won't be by much.
/1gaydude
I think the more telling question is whether or not he rollerblades.
@Diddly: +1 Bravo!
No. (Well, maybe, if he just went all the way with wanting to look like Jim from the Office).
@dippity sauce: I was thinking the same thing...he's too ugly to be gay.
No homo.
So, Richard you like female Chinese hookers? Don't we all. Don't. We. All.
Wait ... only once chinese girl? Won't he just be horny again in 30 minutes?
@Diddly: Dammit.
@Eirishis: excellent
@Hank Scorpio: Perhaps if he finds two Chinese girls, and they both have green eyes, he will marry them both!
He got into the gay lifestyle, he lived in it, embraced it, and refused to divorce himself from it. I'm not surprised at all, not even a little.
The Shermanator is a pro tennis player?
@Clare: Spartacus?
Instead of just 1, he should look into 2 Chinese girls and 1 cup.
@Diddly: hilarious!
Why isn't this guy nominated for the SHOTY?
@Diddly: @Eirishis: No "Two Chinese Girls, One Metal-handled Cardboard Carton" jokes?
Poo-poo Platter, indeed.
Reporter: So how is it you've become so good at tennis?
Gasquet: I'm very good at ball control. You know, hitting them, playing with them, batting them around, juggling them, putting them in my pockets 2 at a time.
