No wonder Alex Karass said he hated having to shower with kickers.

Gendreau does acknowledge, however, what an inspiration he can be to millions of people, and he’s ready and willing to embrace that. He is determined to help those who are afraid to be true to themselves and are scared to come out.

He can also turn millions of people off...people who prefer he keeps his sexual preference quiet.

So another no talent ‘kicker’ wants a try at the NFL because he is gay.......yea I can see how that will add to the game.
Just, thinking if they don’t let him play.......chaching, bet he has a lawyer already lined up.

I have no problem with this person being gay and wanting to be an NFL kicker. If he was serious about it, he would not advertise his sexuality by giving interviews to national media that focus on his homosexuality. He would do the best job he could as a kicker and would try to get hired based on ability, not his status as an “openly gay kicker.”

He gets "two snaps up and your backfield in motion."

“He’s openly gay. “

Yea. WIDE openly. Not a stretch to believe him either.

Say what you want about Jim Carrey, he more or less predicted this a long time ago with his movie Ace Ventura.

So ... does this individual’s obsessive interest in perverted sex acts improve his ability to kick a football through the goalposts? Does it improve his ability to get along with his teammates? Does it improve the teams entertainment value to its fans?

The MSM will be all over this story from now until the first week of the season. REAL important news. Obama is already preparing his quotes about “Folks want change in the NFL. We need change in the attitudes of professional sports organizations.” This is all meaningless distraction, away from issues that matter.
