ALBANY, N.Y. -- New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman urged the NFL on Thursday to investigate whether possible draft picks were improperly asked about their sexual orientation during the league's combine, which he said would be illegal in New York.

"We ask that the league immediately issue a statement that any form of discrimination or harassment on the basis of sexual orientation by league teams or players against potential recruits or players constitutes a violation of state, local and, in some cases, contractor law and will not be tolerated," Schneiderman said in a letter dated Thursday and released to news organizations.

Put a photo of any team's cheerleaders on the table: if the player says "Yucky" and frowns, chances are you have the answer.

Oh oh. The Feds see another cash cow that they can bleed in the NFL.

Well, with 1% unemployment, .89 a gallon gas they had to have SOMETHING to go after, right?

So happy that NY has solved all the murders, rapes, robberies and shipped all the terrorists and illegals out of the country that they can now deal with this horrendous problem.

After Ubama's economic collapse, all forms of affirmative-action will be obsolesced.

With extreme prejudice.

This is the new legal profession: Create a crime then prove that you are innocent.

There is only one NFL team in NY.........The rest play in New Jersey...........

The NFL should respond by immediately moving the Buffalo Bills to LA and renaming both the Jets and Giants to the New Jersey Jets and New Jersey Giants.

NY State sucks.

It is East Germany with a homosexual lobby, and without the STASI (yet)

I know, I live here.

Wrong question. NY SHOULD be asking about the size of the Gatorade cups on the sidelines during the combine... That silly Judge can’t expect to win in the long run, right?

Move them to replace the team across SF bay: The new name will be the “Annie Oaklies.”

Wasn’t the Combine in Indianapolis?

Answer, We’re not saying we asked questions about sexual orientation, but if we did, we didn’t do it in New York and you have no jurisdiction.

Once these have been worn, the word "yuck" has lost its meaning:

It's a good thing the NFL guys didn't have a 32 ounce soft drink in their hands when they asked the question.

On a related note: Isn't the question appropriate given the chance of AIDS in a bloody sport?

Nope, you are NEVER allowed to ask about lifestyle diseases. If a few people die for NOT participating in those lifestyles, it is small price to pay to ensure Proper Thinking.
