After NBA player Jason Collins broke that barrier this week, the National Football League is making sure it will be ready for any coming out party.

Earlier this year, at least three college football players said they had been asked about their sexual orientation during NFL recruitment interviews, sparking calls for the NFL to do more to fight discrimination.

Just hours before Collins' coming out statement was published by Sports Illustrated on Tuesday, the NFL - America's most popular sport, with $9 billion a year in revenue - released a ‘workplace conduct statement' regarding sexual orientation.

I can’t help but think that alienating so much of its fan base in the form of decent, right-thinking people might be the only thing that could kill the NFL.

That and the concussion lawsuits.

[Mike Darancette]

Gads who cares, let them rut all they want. It’s their lives and souls.

[Venturer]

This queer thing is going around the world.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Its all the Communist plan for America..first they take our guns, than they destroy Traditional Marriage..they make Jason Collins into some kind of hero..Entertainment Tonight asking what will happen to his “Career” are they freakin kidding me..he had NO CAREER..he averaged 2 points a game..yeah I average more than that maybe they should compare me to MJ..this is what the left does, its their dream to destroy Traditional America and its happening with every waking moment..and we have to do something to stop them from succeeding

"Where are the fans going to go?"

Away from the joke that the NFL is becoming... in case you haven't already seen the news, attendance is already down.

[Revolting cat!]

A word to the wise: give up on NFL, it's gone faggotty! Follow me to the last bastion of machismo!

[Bender2]

Finally, an NFL tight end... that is correct, proper and so scrump-de-delicious-tious!

We interrupt this thread to bring you an interview with Christine Jorgensen... Ken Brockman reporting.

Well, I, for one, am glad to address the next issue of the NFL accepting... sex-change players.

I was a really homely man you see... and could never have gotten my dream NFL players even if they were gay back in the early 1950s--

Wasn't rookie George Blanda a house-a-fire... hottie?

I still dream... about him.

Horse Hockey, Mary and Joesph! If she thinks she could have had me... more than her man parts were scrambled!

Hey, Bender? Get off this sex-change crap, I'm gay right now... and ready to play nose tackle right now!

Never fear, Rosie, I am sure Roger is working that... through the rules committee right away--

BTW If you are too young... to recall Christine, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Jorgensen

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Yes. They'll only have wide receivers.

So when NASCAR has it's first gay driver, will he sue for discrimination for them not letting him sit on the pole?

[ken5050]

The Vikings will obviously become the destination of choice for gay NFL players..those PURPLE pants...

[CSM]

POTUS immediately picks up the phone to call gay basketball player dude, just like he did with the georgetown skank. Yet, Chris Kyle’s family is still waiting.....

Priorities in an uside down world.

Heck, I can’t watch sporting events anymore without thinking “bread and circuses.” Now on top of the “pink month” nonsense, we can anticipate being inundated with “gay” messages. No thanks NFL, I have better things to do and I hope many are like me....

[CSM]

“President Celebritard today said that sports are important in American life. SPORTS ARE IMPORTANT?”

You are right. Sports are a nice distraction for the willfully ignorant sheeple.

[central_va]

Sports replace the circuses(horse/chariot racing) part in the modern day equivalent of the bread and circuses Roman appeasement program.

[N. Theknow]

What is especially galling is all the fawning media interviewing homosexuals or others supporting homosexuality. Wonder how many sportswriters, commentators, etc. would let their children attend a sports camp run by homosexuals?

Courageous now means we should have a new CMH known as the Congressional Medal of Homosexuality.

[old and tired]

Oh Good Grief! I really don’t want to know about the personal lives of any of them. And I’m pretty sure, with the exception of Tom Brady, who’s always putting his annoying private life in my face, I have no idea if the rest of them are homos or heteros or bis or sheeplovers or whatever the hell else is out thre. And you know what? I don’t care. Stay in the closet and take obnoxiously heterosexual Tom Brady with you.

[Pharmboy]

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you’re not a Patriots fan.

[US Navy Vet]

G*D has judged the United States with the Romans 1(KJV) standard.

[Ransomed]

Is that what all the fruity celebrations and chest pounding are about? I mean a big lineman falls on a loose ball and gets up and dances around over his accomplishment right in the middle of the game, the only way that could possibly get any gayer is with actual gays...

all sports except hockey are gay.

football: 22 sweaty guys in spandex, hugging and rolling around on a grass field

wrestling/ mma: 2-4 guys in speedos hugging and rolling on a giant mattress. note that one of the league is called “pride”

boxing: two sweaty, well toned guys in silk boxers hitting on each other, occassionally hugging. in one instance we saw one guy nibbling on another’s ear

basketball: 10 sweaty guys in silk boxers and tank tops trying to put their balls in the other guys’ holes.

and the jocks laughed at me and called me gay for being a cheerleader.. seriously? do you know where MY hands go?
