图文网志好读版：http://www.sportsv.net/articles/23972
内容：
Bill Kennedy, one of the NBA's top referees, has revealed he is gay.
NBA的执法裁判Bill Kennedy公开的表示自己是同性恋
"I am proud to be an NBA referee and I am proud to be a gay man," Kennedy
told Yahoo Sports on Sunday night. "I am following in the footsteps of others
who have self-identified in the hopes that will send a message to young men
and women in sports that you must allow no one to make you feel ashamed of
who you are."
在星期六晚上和Yahoo Sports的采访中Kennedy表示：我以NBA裁判的身分为荣，也以我是
同性恋者为荣。”
我正在追寻那些勇于表达自我认同人们的脚步，并期许以我这样身分的人发表这样的声明
，能够让年轻的运动员们，不论是男，或者是女，了解到没有人能让你为自己的感受感到
羞愧。
Kennedy declined further comment on his announcement.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver delivered a statement of support for Kennedy.
而Kennedy在发表这份声明后，便婉拒再继续发表进一步的谈论。
NBA总裁Adam Silver也随即发表声明支持Kennedy。
"I wholeheartedly support Bill's decision to live his life proudly and
openly," Silver told Yahoo Sports in a statement. "Throughout his 18-year
career with the league, Bill has excelled as a referee because of his
passion, dedication and courage. Those qualities will continue to serve him
well both as a game official and as a positive influence for others. While
our league has made great progress, our work continues to ensure that
everyone is treated with respect and dignity."
Adam Silver告诉Yahoo Sports：我全心全意的支持Bill，做出这个让他的人生更加骄傲
以及自由的举动；因为他的热情、奉献和勇气，让他得以在联盟18年的执法生涯里表现出
色，而这些特质使他能够在每场比赛都做出最正确的判决，和正面的影响他周遭的人们，
而NBA联盟也致力于给予所有人尊重以及平等。
Kennedy's announcement comes in the wake of the NBA's suspension of
Sacramento Kings guard Rajon Rondo, who game officials, including Kennedy,
heard unleash a disturbing torrent of anti-gay slurs following his ejection
from a game on Dec. 3 in Mexico City.
在12月3号沙加缅度国王对波士顿赛尔提克的比赛中，国王队控卫Rajon Rondo在被判罚出
场后，说出一连串歧视同性恋者的用词，而包括Kennedy在内的几位执法裁判全部听到了
这些辱骂。
而NBA官方也对Rondo处以禁赛的处分，随后Kennedy便发表了这份声明。
After Kennedy, 49, ejected Rondo with consecutive technical fouls in a Kings
loss to the Boston Celtics, Rondo defied league protocol to immediately leave
the court and began stalking Kennedy, who had retreated to a far sideline of
the floor.
依照NBA规章，Rondo在连续领到Kennedy的两个技术犯规后必须离开比赛，但他并没有立
即离开球场，反而开始以言语骚扰Kennedy。
In the game officials’ report used as part of the NBA's investigation –
which includes details provided to Yahoo Sports from National Basketball
Referee's Association general counsel Lee Seham – Kennedy and fellow referee
Ben Taylor described Rondo's post-ejection diatribe as including the
statements: "You're a mother
