“Thanks, Bob. In Exy news, it’s been a slow week with no midweek games, but Palmetto Foxes players Andrew Minyard and Neil Josten have caused quite the stir when they confirmed that they are in a relationship via Twitter. The hashtag ‘catgate’ has been trending on and off all week, after Josten first posted a picture of his cat, a cat avid fans knew to also be Minyard’s. Josten later posted a picture of the two players sitting in their home with their cat. This news comes after years of media debate over a perceived rivalry between the two, although that discussion has died down in the past two seasons, since Josten joined Minyard at the Palmetto Foxes. This weekend, they’ll take on top-ranked team the Providence Falconers in a showdown for the ages...”

anonymous asked: Are you actually buying into this fake media bullshit? Minyard and Josten are only doing for the publicity, just like their ‘rivalry’
ok first of all how fucking DARE you try to dismiss the first same sex couple in professional Exy? this is a historic moment. there are so so so few out professional athletes to begin with, and Neil and Andrew are not only out but in a relationship with each other! that they’re willing to talk about! this is fucking important and i can’t believe you’d belittle a thing like that. Exy is one of the most intense, physical sports out there, so getting a same sex couple out in the limelight is helllllla progressive and incredible and major props to both of them.
next, why the fuck would NEIL MOTHERFUCKING JOSTEN (son of a crime boss, leading scorer for four consecutive years [even over KEVIN DAY], four year All Star, member of the Kayleigh Day Cup winning Palmetto Foxes) and ANDREW MOTHERFUCKING MINYARD (holder of the MLE shutout record, five year All Star, also member of the Kayleigh Day Cup winning Palmetto Foxes) need PUBLICITY? what?????
finally, fuck you. neil and andrew have a cat and play exy and take down trolls on twitter and at the end of the day, you’re probably just jealous or homophobic or demiphobic or something.

twitter troll: ur gay
neil josten, an intellectual: Actually, demisexuality is a sexual orientation in which someone feels sexual attraction only to people with whom they have an emotional bond. Most demisexuals feel sexual attraction rarely compared to the general population, and some have little to no interest in sexual activity–
