A couple of owners should come out first. To set an example. Green Bay isn't that small a town.

10 of your "brothers" were gay. Fact.

how is that a fact? you didn't know them

He's talking "libberish" again

+1

why oh why does rain man always make so much sense?

It's estimated that 10% of the population is gay. Even if Prison Bitch was a member of a frat that was explicitly homophobic, it's likely that at least five of them were gay. Come to think of it, the percentage of vocally homophobic people who end up involved in gay scandals is probably well above 10%.

you don't think that the distribution of that 10% might be skewed? i'd think that gay folks would try to avoid an environment like that...

This is a really good point that I hadn't considered. If a team will target RGIII's legs because it offers a potentially huge competitive advantage, you can damn well bet that someone will disregard their own opinions, if it means affecting a player's performance. Whether it's Manti Te'o, The Unnamed Gay (good CP handle idea, there), or anyone else, there's a psychological battle that benefits the ones who have the least dirt that can be used against them.

I always thought frat guys all at least had gay tendencies. Hey-oooooo.

You're forgetting that much of the 10% are men and women who either live in denial or believe they can "change" their sexuality. There's a whole range of behavioral reactions to having feelings that parts of society believe are immoral and "unnatural". It's easy for you and I to say "if I were gay, I'd be open and proud", but we've never had to deal with anything remotely like that. (Sorry to speak for you, but I'm just making an assumption)

Statistically 10% are gay and in that large of a group its probably going to be close to the proper number.

Like I said earlier, don't you think that that 10% might be skewed away from a group that acts and behaves in a manner consistent with what is expected of a fraternity (i.e. groupthink, hazing, etc)? Conventional viewpoints would think that would be a bad situation for a gay man.

DT's Monday Night meltdown is a perfect example of this in the most heterosexual context possible.

I would hazard a guess that the percentage is higher in frats, just based on their behavior and the desire to live in a house with a bunch of dudes.

I'd imagine that the majority of people in this thread are straight males, and there isn't any lack of people lining up to argue against you. It's awfully presumptuous of you to assume that your experience is representative of straight men as a whole.

There is no doubt that there are some in the NFL that would be uncomfortable with a homosexual teammate. Based on what Fujita is saying, however, it sounds like most players are willing to accept a teammate for what or who he is. Given the other issues that the players have on their plates (keeping their spots on the depth chart, practicing for their next game), I doubt that having a few gay players on the team would alter the locker room dynamic much.

If they don't make a big issue out of it, I have no problem. One of my cousins is gay so I'm very tolerant .

No it's not. It's 2-3%.

You can't be serious. What people say on a message board and what people would actually do when confronted with a situation are two completely different things.

tolerant .. thats the problem now .. go bak in the closets you unnatural sob's .....

I don't care if every Chiefs player were gay if they get us to the Super Bowl and win.

"Just win baby"

Sounds like you've put a lot of thought into this. Really a lot. Like, way more than a normal straight guy would. Food for thought.

Depends on the person, I guess. I have absolutely no incentive to put on a front here on CP; I say what I mean, and I don't exaggerate my opinions to try and make myself look better.

Should this be a sticky?

He's super, thanks for asking!

"Why are we so tolerant of obese people nowadays? Stop eating, you lazy, unnaturally fat sack of shit."

See what I did there?

Women only love you for your car.

I wonder what kind of car Scott Fujita finds attractive.

Just pull your shades down and turn up the volume on price is right, grandpa.

I thought Johnnie Morton was the first outwardly gay player?

after his playing days

I'm not sure he ever actually came out.

Cool, me too. Fist bump, brah!

Ted Washington is pretty much gay, based on the way his wife looks.

This thread is gay!

A man escapes from a prison where he’s been locked up for 15 years. He breaks into a house and inside, he finds a young couple in bed. He ties him to a chair. While tying the wife to the bed, the convict gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he’s in there, the husband whispers over to his wife,
“Listen, this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He’s probably spent a lot of time in jail and hasn’t seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don’t resist, don’t complain. Do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry, he’ll kill us both. Be strong, honey. I love you!”

She responds: “He wasn’t kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me that he’s gay, thinks you’re cute, and asked if we had any Vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you, too.”

LMAO

This gay joke is extremely vulgar, so I put it in the spoiler tag. Don't read this and complain:

LMAO

Its great reading some of people's views in this thread though. You never know quite how backward some people are until they open their mouths.

Why does this article mention that the player will 'try to continue his career'? Jeff Garcia has been out of the league for some time now.

Hey, it's the monthly expose all the homophobes thread.

That's the worst gay joke i've ever read.

Dude have you SEEN his wife?

I'm no homophobe. My girlfriend and I eat at Hamburger Mary's all the time. I like deh food.

Then it won't surprise you that I stole it from Gilbert Gottfried

Best looking tranny I've ever seen.

If you went to KU, I've got news for you. ;)

I'm complaining because I was led to believe this would be an extremely awesome joke. It was only chuckle worthy. May the ghost of rape-mas past visit you in your sleep. BOO THIS MAN.

LMAO

The actual number is difficult to discern and will likely never be completely known, due to a number of factors, not the least of which is incidence vs prevalence (eg, does having ANY homosexual contact identify one as "gay"), but regardless, your estimate is very low.

Incidence rates tend to hover around 15%-- that is, 15% of people have had same-sex encounters during some pre-defined period (usually adolescence to young-adulthood); prevlance rates range from about 5-10%.

I'm not sure if you're behind a paywall, but here's one of many PubMed articles surveying a random community about this exact situation:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9736328
The abstract says most of the important stuff; if you're interested in the criteria, you'll need to have PM access.

I guess I should just stick to Jovan Belcher jokes, then :(

It will be interesting to see if he's given the sexual harassment training. You see, I've been given it at all four of my companies and never once asked if I wanted to participate. Simple: it's mandatory. Sure I've never harassed anyone but tat doesn't exempt me from it. And now this guy will have to undergo it as well.


We cannot assume he will be turned on, but my companies could never assume I'd e turned on by my female co-workers. Same deal.

CHEER THIS MAN. HOORAY FOR KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT.

Matt Cassel

I knew it !

Anyone who is all "who cares? I'm sick of hearing about gay issues" has very obviously never had to hide their fullest expression of themselves because of societal stigmas. There's nothing wrong with that -- you're fortunate and many people would love to trade experiences with you -- but one ought to be aware of how their own privilege informs their thinking on this issue.

LMAO... yeah, Gay players that lead with their helmet will be penile-ized.

I love how you think this is some kind of salient point. If everybody has to take the training, everybody has to take the training. Jesus Christ.

Don't turn this into a serious discussion. I love these threads. They're like Jerry Springer shows.

Honestly, I could care less if a guy is in love with a girl, a guy, or a barnyard animal. Same as I don't care if he's Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Muslim, or in love with a barnyard animal.

Is there no sexual harassment training for NFL employees, even after the Brett Favre/Jenn Sterger stuff from a few years ago?

We still love you. You can stop overcompensating with all that death metal now. :grouphug:

j/k

My favorite is the one about the trucker who picks up the queer hitchhikers, but it wouldn't be nearly as funny in written form.

BOOM! lol

You prefer pictures?

Uh, no.

Would there be some kind of procedure in the showers? Or is it like supermakret sweek for those guys in there?

dicks, or GTFO / Clay

LMAO

I just hope it's not a Chief or former Chief. We don't need the distraction. I miss the old days when people kept their sexual preferences to themselves. Who you are banging or like to bang does not interest me.

THIS. TIMES EVEVENTY!!

My 2cents:

I live about 5-10minutes from the Gay Epicenter of San Diego, so i'm fairly exposed to the openly gay man, unlike the closeted ones you guys have in the midwest.

I've had openly gay friends and co-workers, and it has in fact gotten weird before. I'm pretty tolerant about most things and gays don't bother me, but sometimes the gay males don't respect your boundaries.

When they cross the line, it does get uncomfortable.

I was a teacher's assistant to an openly Gay male Teacher. He would talk about a lot of gay shit with the rest of the staff, but it wasn't a big deal, although a little uncomfortable at times. He was constantly ridiculed by the students though.

When i was living in the group home, they hired a few gay staff members for "Cultural Diversity". One of them got fired when a student asked if he was attracted to some guy on T.V. He replied, "No, i'm into guys that look like (me)". I was 16 at the time. He was fired a few days later.

I've had other instances where gay men have hit on me as well. It's extremely awkward.

My point is, I don't care if you're gay, but in MY personal experiences with openly gay men, sometimes they can be a little too proud and forget to respect the boundaries of others. If you're gay, you should still have to follow the same rules as everyone else.

Well, maybe they wouldn't have hit on you if you A) weren't dressed like a whore and B) wiped the dried semen off your face before you talked woth them.

Uhm that's discrimination, right?

Nope. They'll announce it through public media and you'll like it.

As if straight men don't have boundary issues. Congrats, Detoxing, you know know a little bit of what its like to be a woman walking down the street.

fyp

Hey, its hard times out here for a catcalling construction worker.

So you are saying they are men? Ask any woman and they will give your story as a quote over and over.

i guess you could use the ugly ones for harassment practice

Not everyone can bag a 10. And if you can't get a 10, you can at least **** 5 2s.
