Are there any open gay players in football? :shrug: I still think its legit to ask perspective draft picks, I certainly wouldn't draft one that bitched about it to the media
I certainly wouldn't draft one
Aaron Rodgers
Matt Schaub
Jeff Garcia
and of course Eli
I'm not sure anyone is 'bitching' about it. One player, while being interviewed about the process, said he was asked.
The media then reported this situation.
It is against NFLs own policies to discriminate based on a number of things including sexual preference. It is also against the law in about half the states which have NFL teams.
So the debate over whether a team would WANT a gay player is one thing, the debate over whether they should ASK prospective employees is another.
Based on their own policy and the law, they should NOT be asking.
I don't know what else could possibly be said about this topic. :shrug:
If I owned a football team I would make my entire offensive line out of gay players. They don't mind the closeness, don't get tired bending over all the time. It would bring the butt pat back to which Favre apparently took with him. Plus they don't mind and extra tight uniform. I would want them to be over the top Boy George, John Travolta gay. Hell, I would put flames on their helmets and everything, those D-line men will be running the other way.
Have a whole cooler full of Yoohoo and Pixie Sticks to give out for halftime snacks. Fuck yeah. I am all for it. They could wear Super Bowl Champion ring pops.
Hope that helps,

Chris Kluwe has to be :shrug:
A tangential thought came to mind while reading Fek's post...
What if, the NFL team that asked the player this question only asked this one player and say this was the only team to ask such a question? It seams like every year, a controversial question asked at the combine is reported to the media and it creates a shit-storm. Maybe, and just for thought's sake here, the NFL team saw something in the player that made them want to test him? Could he keep quiet? Would he run to the media tell them that we asked this? How does that put the player in the eyes of the NFL team if he can't keep his mouth shut and looks like the type of player that will report anything controversial coming from the organization? That would seem like a pretty good test, to me, if I was an NFL team scout, trying to spot a player with the potential problem of causing locker room distractions.
I'm not advocating that they be asking such questions. The though just occurred to me that - what if it were a test of the player's ability to keep things to himself? :shrug:
Green card for 'tangential'. :0008
Good morning :0008
Egg whites and grapefruit?
Of course, why would you want real food. . . .when monoglycerite guarcum makes it taste just fine.
