from 2002 interview on Howard Stern show.
Jeremy Shockey has suffered a number of injuries and is not playing pro ball
There are presently no openly gay players in the NFL. New York Giants rookie tight end Jeremy Shockey hopes it stays that way.
In a Sept. 10 interview on The Howard Stern radio show, Shockey was asked on-air by producer Gary Del ‘Abate if he thought there were any gay players in the NFL.
“I don’t know, I don’t like to think about that. I hope not,” Shockey said.
When asked if he ever dealt with any gay teammates on his college football team, Shockey gave a somewhat confusing answer:
“No, I mean, if I knew there was a gay guy on my college football team, I probably wouldn’t, you know, stand for it.”
Stern’s sidekick Robin Quivers replied: “ How could you not stand for it? What do you mean?”
Shockey said, “You know, I think, you know, they’re going to be in the shower with us and stuff, so I don’t think that’s gonna work. That’s not gonna work, you know?”
I bet 30% of the NFL are “on the down low”.
If a Rams player goes home to shower is it a hate crime?
