Three-year NFL vet reveals he is bisexual

Ryan Russell has played in the NFL for three seasons, but when he suits up and takes the field for his next gameday he will be the first man to play in a regular season game who identifies as bisexual.

Russell, currently a free agent, was drafted by the Cowboys in 2015 after playing college football at Purdue. He played one year at the Cowboys and then two years at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but no one knew who the defensive end really was.

Russell told ESPN that he hid his sexual identity during the first three years of his career. He said he had a fear that it could be the end of his career if he was honest about being bisexual.

"I rationalized my fear because it was easy to convince myself that hiding who I was made the most sense. The competition is so stiff to stay in the league, that any small mark can lead a front office to choose another guy for your job," Russell told ESPN's Kevin Arnovitz.

There’s a huge difference between being physically attracted and just recognizing the fact that some men and women are just plain sexier than others.

“Three-year NFL vet reveals he is bisexual”

I’m totally disillusioned ... I thought the dude was a defensive end ...

NFL vet? Do some teams have live animals as mascots and he tends to their health needs?

Ain’t no such thing as a bisexual man

There's a Paraguyan/Guarani expression for that: "no hay puto quai" (not sure how to spell "quai") that means "there are no ex-fags."

This is not news. This is propaganda.

Any man who sucks a penis and takes another man’s ejaculate in his mouth or does anal sex top or bottom and rims too

Or does ATM which is pretty standard stuff for fags

Is a queer ....he is not an experimenting heterosexual

I didn’t mention women and for a reason. I have known plenty women who liked girls too...not dykes but girls kissing and giving oral to one another but they preferred la verga

Didn’t make them lesbians

And then there are bona fide lesbians who like only fellow lesbians

Some are with a femme lesbian and some with fellow dyke

Butch

But a man if he goes both ways is seeing if he can leave faggotry for normalcy

Some resist their homosexual urges....it used to be pretty common in my part of the country....

I know instantly off the top of my head women who married very handsome effeminate men who eventually left them

I’m like how could they not tell...apparently gaydar is another myth about girls

Pansexual married women love my wife...we have been introduced to so many folks into that lifestyle and get bushwhacked at parties

My wife recoils at girl on girl

She is only men need apply

She’s as repulsed by it as I am homosexual men and their peccadilloes

I actually had a conversation yesterday at lunch with a young conservative lite

He couldn’t resist the urge to qualify every utterance over minorities or homosexuality

This is where we lost the culture war...

It’s the new religion ....

Homosexuality is maybe 2 percent of the population in normal times

But in media and Hollywood it’s probanly 25% of more

Just off the top of my head two media titans

Geffen and Diller

Fags

Probably more......it’s so weird to me

I really did not need the sexual details there!

No, it really is true, there are people who are attracted to and want to kiss and more - people who might be men or women. It exists. You, your wife, nor I aren’t bisexual. But there are people who are. They don’t want to be, maybe, because they are turned away by both gays and straights because both are afraid they will “never satisfy” them or that they are bound to cheat with the other orientation.

I think it would be really weird. But I guess you can’t help attraction. Attraction doesn’t man you have to act on it. You could be bisexual and married opposite sex and faithful forever. Just as a married man could be attracted to other women they might see on the street yet remain a great husband.

A man being attracted to other women besides his wife

Is not the same as the same man lusting for other men

I know you do t like to her the details and neither does my homo sympathetic wifey

Yet in this case the devil is indeed in the details

What homosexual me do to one another is simply put..

Disgusting

It’s a perversion

Given that I was willing like a good post stonewall idiot to accept it and grant a license to leave them be.....fair enough...the right thing to do

Problem is the perversion simply won’t stop

It’s a tool to destroy our culture now

And I’m sorry but that culture matters to me

I just watched Andy Cohen reunion of southern charm,

He always inserts pro homosexual agenda crap in his guests and themes

It’s irritating

Just make a show with women being bitches and guys being jerks without the gay crap

But he just can’t help it and nor can most homosexuals today under fifty it seems

My dear mother also was a fag hag as she freely admitted

Her companion on antique shopping trips along with my dad to England and France and Royal Street in New Orleans was a flaming decorator slash hair stylist who coincidentally my wife knew and who we assisted when he died of AIDS

anyhow when I would describe to her and my rib what homosexual men liked to do to one another...the tame stuff not fisting and filching leather tournaments et all but just usual homo,love making

They both would cover their ears...
And tell me to stop it it’s disgusting

I said really.

Disgusting what they do or disgusting I verbalize it?

That irony escaped both of them

My wife has gotten a bit better but she’s still soft for twinks

She’s says they are like men you need not fear are hitting on you and women you aren’t competing with

Whatever

I find what they do to one another a perversion...
