Florio said he didnt think teams actually asked Teo about his sexuality when they met with him over the weekend.
Its been described to me as the proverbial elephant in the room and I dont think anyone knows how to solve this dilemma yet, he said. Its just that they want to know what theyre getting. They want to know what issues they may be dealing with down the road. We just assumed that at some point there would be an openly gay player in an NFL locker room and the team would have to work with the realities and make sure that everythings fine. Now you have a situation where you have a guy who was in a relationship with a fake girl who ended up being a real man, and the man has said to Dr. Phil that he was romantically in love with Manti Teo, it just raises a lot of questions that the NFL at some point is going to have to deal with.
Obviously, if teams are wondering about his sexuality, its an indication that it will affect Teo draft stock. Homophobia has been, and continues to be, a big issue in the NFL.
Im not saying anyone would take Manti Teo off the board if they suspected hes gay or know hes gay, Florio told Dan Patrick. Thats just the thing thats out there that they want to know the answer to.
Get Katie Couric to ask Obama if he is gay.
LMAO
A team should be concerned about a players homosexuality. The gay lifestyle is a risky lifestyle that can lead to STDs and premature death. As for Teo, I really do believe he’s gay, come on people he want to Notre Dame and was a football player. ND is no SEC school, but still do you know how many beautiful women go there? He could have had his pick of any coed but he’s going to have a long distance realtionahip with someone in Hawaii?!
“Homophobia has been, and continues to be, a big issue in the NFL.”
I still contend that heterosexual men are not ‘homophobic’. It is just complete disgust with what homosexuals do to each other.
