Airline endorsed magazines aren't the gold standard for journalism. We know this, but, for some dumb reason, we expect them to at least pretend to be interested in journalistic integrity. Sadly, American Airlines' American Way is not. Their "interview" with out B-Baller John Amaechi reads like an infomercial. And a cheaply done one, at that.
Most of the questions revolve around Amaechi's American Airline experience and how he spends his layovers in their "Admirals Club". It's understandable a free airline rag would sink to such lows, but we're disappointed in Amaechi for such a bold endorsement. Now, before you start defending the 36-year old jock, check out his "final thoughts":
After I came out as an openly gay athlee, my book generated 300 interviews in 25 American cities in just over three months. What made that grueling pace bearable was the wonderful AA staff on the ground and in the air… Thank you, American Airlines!
Amaechi's not entirely loyal to American Airlines. The Brit recently appeared at a Virgin America event.

Of course he's schilling for American Airlines. Much of his book tour was in a sense sponsored by Human Rights Campaign as he was named a HRC Coming Out Project Spokesperson.
And, surprise, surprise: American Airlines is a major sponsor of HRC.
Bitch didn't come out "as an openly gay athlete." He came out after he retired. B-b-b-buck-buck-buck! ba-BUCKKKK!
I interviewed Mr John and found him to be humorless, unlike Dave Kopay and Esera Tuaolo who were very friendly and wanted to have fun.
Mike Rogers should be the spokesmodel for the HRC. Someone who does something and not someone who did something.
