Sports nuts BTFO - in his essay "Outta My Endzone: Sport and the Territorial Anus," Dr. Brian Pronger of the University of Toronto describes how the point of men's sports is homosexual lust without the stigma of gayness:
>I will argue that competitive sport... is embedded in the masculine colonizing will to conquer the space of an "other" while simultaneously protectively enclosing the space of the self... In sex, it shows in the desire to penetrate the holes of others and the desire to resist having the same happen to oneself.
...
>The practice of competitive sport itself can have homoerotic dimensions: the contact of the playing field, the spectacle of the partially clad body, the steamy environment of the showers and locker room...
I argued that men's sport allows men and boys to exclude women and girls from their all-male environments, permits them to play with each other's bodies, to surround themselves with naked men in the showers and locker cooms, to enjoy that all-male contact, without suffering the vilification that usually comes from the open acknowledgment and pursuit of masculine erotic contact, the stigma of "being homosexual.
...
>In other words, the homophobia of competitive sport allows men to play with each other's bodies and still preserve their patriarchal heterosexist hegemony; they can have their (beef) cake and eat it, too."
...
>It goes without saying that a limp, shriveled penis is not effective in simulating the domineering masculine organization of desire. Given that no penis can live up to its phallic boast, no matter how swollen it gets, phallocentrism finds other ways to territorialize the body: innocuously, possibly, in body building, and more despotically in the territorial violence of warfare and competitive sport, for instance.
>Less boastful than the phallus, perhaps because of its embarrassing vulnerability or even more terrifying potential openness, is the phallus's companion, the protective side of phallic desire, the side than can repel or admit others into the space carved out by phallic aggression.
>The simulacrum of this other side of phallic desire, I suggest is the asshole. It is the tightly closed orifice of the phallic conqueror, as well as the (perhaps) reluctantly opened orifice of the phalically conquered. Masculine desire is thus produced in the play of the phallus and asshole.
>It stimulates desire as both homoerotic and homophobic: homoerotic in its preoccupation with phallic intent, homophobic in its resistance to penetration."
...
>Since one's participation in competition indicates one's commitment to phallic potency and one's defeat shows one's anal vulnerability and therefore phallic impotence, there is humiliation in defeat, in being penetrated by one's competitor.
...
>When, in the context of the philosophy of the limit, we consider the conventional pleasures of sport...we see the simulation of desire in the territorial project that transforms the puissance of the human connection into a pouvoir of dominance and submission. Competitive sport, therefore is a profoundly unethical way to organize desire.

I have never connected my love of sports to sexuality. This must be how the world looks through a gay lens.

This guy is a professional philosopher. He has studied this stuff for years. He knows what he's talking about.
His first book on this subject - 1990's "The Arena of Masculinity: Sports, Homosexuality, and the Meaning of Sex" - is considered a classic in the field of queer sports philosophy.

Of course someone from Toronto would try to make something look gay

UT is one of the top schools in North America. That's just a fact.

Brandon Bell
Almost all their research especially on social subjects is total bullshit
You have to remember it's Toronto the source of all of Canada's degeneracy where all Canadian SJWs are from the place that is always trying to use propaganda to turn the rest of us. What makes you think this is truthful at all?

By homosexuality, does it mean that you want to fuck your bro or just blow him?
William Ross
It's true. I got a PhD in Intersectional Degeneracy Studies from the University of Toronto; it was a very enlightening experience.
Christopher Campbell
what the fuck do people actually think goes down in "steamy" locker rooms? we're getting our equipment on or off, not sitting in each other's laps and waving our dicks around

canada has lots of intellectuals you just need to listen to them
He's a clinical psych. In other words, real data-based.
Techniclaly any PhD is supposed to be a philosopher, but most couldn't defend the validity of their methodology if you put a gun to their head

Funny because your pic looks more like an American: fat dirty and too lazy to even shave his neck hairs

I've always thought it was more like sex itself rather being homoerotic.
Faggot professor injecting his own faggotry onto sports.

>You're in the local fitness club locker room, when this guy (Brian Pronger) approaches your naked battle buddy, smacks his ass, and says "you're probably both gay." Before storming out of the steamy locker room without changing out of his gym clothes What do you do?

I've said this for over 15 years

Sounds believable
Also this is now a Toronto hate thread

And I've said Toronto along with all it's faggots should be nuked from orbit for 20 years
Jack Adams

Tyler Brooks
this is pure propaganda. the goal of this is to turn guys gay. Basically you're a normal dude then you go to college and learn about this and in your quest to be smart and stretch your mind you begin to contemplate reality from the perspective of the author.
pretty soon you're sitting in the shower room thinking faggoty thoughts just because you think it's smart.
Logan Cooper
This is as intellectual as saying everyone who dislikes gays are closeted homo's.

A lot of mad fags in this thread. You've been exposed homo's, deal wit it
