Those of you who follow CLNSRadio know that the network has expanded their coverage to include locker room coverage of every C's home game and post game shows for every Boston Celtics game this season.
With the expanded coverage and (nearly) nightly shows, we want to keep you up to speed with what's going on with the network's original broadcast.
BPaul and I have been working hard at securing quality guests for you in 2012. January is already action packed.
Though postgame shows have dominated the CLNS broadcast schedule, we do not want you to think that our regular programming is going away. No worries-- your favorite CLNS productions will continue to broadcast weekly (times are subject to change based on the Celtics schedule).
We are proud to announce that on Monday, January 9th, BPaul and I will be joined by former NBA player and openly gay man, John Amaechi.
During his NBA days, Amaechi played for the Cavs, Magic, Rockets, Jazz and Knicks. Worth noting-- Amaechi turned down a 17 million dollar contract to play for the Lakers in 2000, opting to stay with the Magic for a meager $600,000.00
Can't bash any guy who refuses to play for the purple and gold.
In February 2007, after his retirement from the NBA, Amaechi became the first former NBA player to "come out" publicly after doing so in his memoir Man in the Middle. Since then he has been regarded as "one of the world's most high-profile gay athletes"
Amaechi currently works as a psychologist, educator and political activist in Europe and the United States. He has been in contact with Penn State University and is helping them cope with the Sandusky scandal.
John stumbled across CLNSRadio back in October, when featured columnist, Nick Sannicandro, composed this article about gay athletes. Mr. Amaechi engaged in a passionate debate with many commenters on the article. Definitely worth reading folks!

In addition to Amaechi as our headline guest, we will also be discussing all-things Boston Celtics and taking YOUR calls!
