Who cares and why is the media making such a big deal out of trying to bring out gay players? This is ridiculous and football has turned into a freak show instead of the game I use to love. If you chose to play dress up and want to act like you’re a woman on your own time, leave the rest of us normal people out of your sissy ways!!! SICK OF THIS BS! It has absolutely nothing to do with football!
Good for him. I think it was a good move, especially if other people knew already. He’s a brave kid. I totally disagree with the NFL personnel who said that the NFL isn’t ready for an openly gay player. People rarely seem ready for things until they happen.
I yearn for the days when a persons sex life was private and not the world’s business.
