It's a decision and move that drew praise and support from owner Shad Khan, who was a vocal and emphatic supporter of a city ordinance that expanded protections on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.

"I don't want to feel like I have to lie about who I am seeing or why I am living with someone else.

"I want to be vocal in support of people living how they want to live, but I also want to just live and not feel fear about how people will react."

Why do people think the public is interested in what they do with their genitals?

This guy just put himself at the top of the list for the next head coaching vacancy.

His dream job is to lead the packers. (knee-slapper!!!)

Strength and conditioning coach? I would think that he would be the tight end coach.

Sandusky was the defensive coordinator for two national championships on a team known as Linebacker U for 3 decades.

He was a filthy perv, but he did his job for papa Joe... who dutifully spent a couple of decades being willfully blind for his buddy. The only thing that kept that filthy perv employed was on field success.

Penn State became a joke of a college program AFTER the perv and his enablers were removed. They are becoming relevant again, although any non-SEC team has a real struggle with that in the modern college football ecosystem.

One more time, dufus. You don’t get to tell me how to rationalize your behavior. Nobody “is gay”. Period. If you wanna do perverted things then don’t look at me to justify your actions.

Sandusky was married with six kids.

Everyone should have been suspicious when he retired instead of taking a head coaching job. He was perhaps the top assistant/coordinator for over ten years. I don't know of any that don't take their shot at being a head coach.
