Oh yawn. Keep the emotional issues in the closet. Nobody cares. Why does everything have to evolve around what you do with your parts? Just shut up and play.

The second law of homosexuality:
To the mentally healthy (heterosexual), sex is something you do.
To the mentally diseased ("homosexual"), sex is everything you are.

If they truly want to be “just like everyone else” as is claimed, they would never talk about their sexuality.

How many times do you here heterosexual couples talking about being heterosexual?

I wonder how his fellow players will feel about him giving them “encouraging” butt slaps?

First time this queer is seen with an erection in the showers there is gonna be a serious problem.

He is more noble than a straight player, at least according to the media.

Why do we need to know this????????
?????
That has been my question for a very long time.
Why don’t they practice their biological confusion without announcing it to the world?

One can see it now...in the heat of a pitched football game an opposing player calls him a pervert or a faggot and that player gets suspended, receives a hefty fine and his team gets a 25 yard penalty. It could be that after that last super bowl debacle, football has seen its best days.

They’ve had them in the NFL since the 1960s, at least. He’s the first one that’s seen the need to out himself.

Great. So the guy who sacked Chelf, causing him to fumble in the Cotton Bowl, steeling victory from my Cowboys, is a Fudgepacker.

This was a master-stroke on the part of the player's agent.

Now, regardless of his playing ability, regardless of any other factors, he simply MUST be picked by some team at some point during the draft, or the NFL is "homophobic" -- which is apparently the most serious crime an entity can commit in this twisted 21st century -- and the endless articles, lawsuits and bloviating by the "progressive" left will ramp up to a fever pitch.

He came from behind and reached around, knocking the ball loose.
