No, no Power Rangers!

Although it'd be a total dream come true, a Power Rangers reunion ain't on the menu!

But a whole lotta dissing is being served up!

After executives tried to get the original cast to reunite for an episode of Power Rangers Megaforce, one of our fave heroes from back in the day put the kibosh on the possibility.

David Yost or as we all really know him, the Blue Power Ranger, apparently flat out refused to take part after enduring horrible timez on set in the past.

As an openly gay actor, he suffered verbal abuse from various people on set as he has claimed in the past that producers called him the f-word. He eventually quit the show in 1996 due to this, and it sounds like he wants to stay done with the show!

Buuuut…that might not quite be the case!

While that has been the report going around, David recently tweeted somewhat of a different explanation:

It's almost worse to try and backtrack on things you obviously believe, because it's easily apparent that you're only doing it because of the flak you've gotten. It's kind of offensive to assume we wouldn't notice exactly what you're doing!

Chris Broussard is doing exactly all that as he called into the radio show The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 to explain his comments about Jason Collins being gay and to backtrack a little bit! While he still rattles off everything he's read in the Bible (at length), he's also trying to make it clear that he loves everyone and doesn't look down on a single person, even if it might seem like it.

It's worth a listen (above) as he tries to explain himself, and to hear the host liken the whole situation to a white guy saying he 'isn't racist' because he has black friends!

We can't really get into religion here, because everyone is entitled to their beliefs. We CAN get into going into a religious tirade on ESPN when they aren't asking for your personal religious opinions! This interview is different because he's asked specifically about his personal beliefs — we just wish when he was being paid to talk about sports, he would talk about sports!

Easy enough! LOLz!

We allllllllll expected there to be some heat when Jason Collins became the first active gay male athlete in the NBA yesterday, but who would've thought Chris Broussard would've jumped up on his religious soap box LIVE ON ESPN (above)??

It's one thing to have your beliefs, but when they systematically treat a group of people less than others, that's when you should probably not go on-air at your highly public job and run your mouth. ESPN agrees, but unfortunately their statement about Broussards homophobic comments was pret-ty weak:

Jason Collins is gay and he's out and he's comfortable in his own skin… and we couldn't be more proud of the courage he's shown!

In fact, when the NBA vet shocked the world with his historic Sports Illustrated revelation today, the vast majority of the his colleagues' reactions were kind, genuine, and accepting!

Unfortunately, it only takes one or two rotten apples to spoil the whole bunch!

First Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace tweeted ignorant comments toward Jason and now ESPN's premiere NBA analyst Chris Broussard has taken the intolerance to the next level!!

Ch-ch-check out his unfathomable statements on ESPN's Outside the Lines (above)!

When Jason Collins decided to come out of the closet and become the first gay active player in a major professional sport here in the U.S., we all knew there would be someone out there that would say something awful. We also knew, however, that there'd be waaaay more support than backlash!

Unfortunately, we were right about the first part too — and we told you about the ignorant thing that Mike Wallace, who plays for the Miami Dolphins, tweeted out:

“All these beautiful women in the world and guys wanna mess with other guys SMH (shakin' my head) …”

Not cool, right? Well the Dolphins agree with us and the rest of the world as they have condemned Mike's tweet, and have decided to distance themselves from him!

Here's what the Dolphins said:

Congrats, Mike Wallace! You win the award for First Insensitive And Homophobic Tweet after Jason Collins revealed to the world that he's gay!

Regardless if they play different sports, this is EXACTLY why people haven't been strong enough to come out until now!

Here's what Mike Wallace of the Miami Dolphins had to say now that Jason is the first gay male athlete out and proud as a current major professional sports player (for the NBA):

Ugh this is so NOT COOL!

The Miami New Times is reporting that Busta Rhymes aggressively spewed extremely offensive statements during his early morning visit to iconic South Beach burger joint, Cheeseburger Baby!

Apparently, Busta's whole angry, misogynistic, homophobic FREAK OUT sparked when he was told he couldn't cut in line to order food. He allegedly proceeded to call one staff member a "f*g," another a "b*tch" AND said he would "come and GET [them]"!

Stephanie Vitori, owner of Cheeseburger Baby explained the whole nasty situation, stating:
