49ers cornerback: No gays allowed

The most inflammatory remarks prior to the Super Bowl come from the mouth of one of the most least likely of candidates. Raise your hand if you need to look up the name Chris Culliver? The 2nd year corner made shocking remarks in regards to homosexuality in the NFL when he spoke with comedian Artie Lange during media day for the Big Game.

Lange asked Culliver about the possiblity of gay player being a teammate, and Culliver gave a very honest, yet sure to be criticized response:

<BLOCKQUOTE>“I don’t do the gay guys man,” said Culliver, whose Niners play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. “I don’t do that. No, we don’t got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.

“Can’t be with that sweet stuff. Nah…can’t be…in the locker room man. Nah.”

When quizzed by Lange whether any homosexual athletes would need to keep their sexuality a secret in football, Culliver responded: “Yeah, come out 10 years later after that.”

It’s extremely shocking that Culliver would say what he said with the spotlight so bright at this point. His comments just come a day after it was revealed that former San Francisco 49er Kwame Harris is gay. Harris was outed in a police report after a domestic dispute with his boyfriend. Culliver is sure to be questioned by the media as they continue to make their rounds, and it will be interesting to see if he retracts his comments or goes the old “out of context” route. For what it is worth, Culliver also sent out a pretty obnoxious tweet about females on Wednesday

Boy I wake up to a mean txt females in general just be — well let me just say they be on there PERIOD!! #1 love is mom dudes!!! Period

But the question is, how much of what Culliver said is true? Do most straight males in an NFL locker room feel the same way? It’s likely that a majority do, but just won’t express the sentiment. That’s just the reality. But that doesn’t excuse the back up corner for his ridiculous and ignorant comments.

Who cares? The PC bullshit these days is so annoying. He was asked a question, he answered truthfully. OMG SOMEONE MIGHT GET THEIR FEELINGS HURT!!!

And yet... the guy plays for SAN FRANCISCO! That's like someone from Omaha saying, "No fat chicks allowed!" I could have said Rapid City, but more people on this board know where Omaha is.

I don't do the gay guys either.

Happens all the time in the Pictures forum..

we dont got no gay guys on the team

I've seen Omaha say "no fat chicks" many, many times.

This is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Ftr, I'm gay and I have no problem with this. people can express themselves however they truly feel. it would be pretty awkward to have an openly gay guy showering with a bunch of straight guys.

I take his point far less seriously (as I would anyone) when he phrases it with such poor grammar. Nothing like trying to make a convincing argument and sounding like you are a total idiot.

Case in point, “I don’t do the gay guys man,” and "No, we don’t got no gay people on the team."

What an ignorant ****face.

It's funny that the this is called "shocking" in the article. I would say this is pretty expected. Though many are fascinated with this subject in the media, most people that go about their lives don't give any of this enough thought to be outraged or care. And male sports teams - as a general rule - aren't a place where homosexuality is normalized in the least. To see it from the other perspective, it's like being shocked that the majority of dudes from high school theater were actually gay.

Who gives a shit?

I'm more concerned with his apparent misogyny.

So he doesn't like or want to be around gay men. Ok......Newsflash neither do most other men that are not gay.

"I do not associate with those who speak ebonics," said Colquitt, whose Chiefs have the first pick in the draft this year. " I do not approve. We do not have a single uneducated fellow in this organization who abuses the English language. They must pack up their belongings and leave hastily if that is the case."

/white people.

I don't agree with his views, but he will be persecuted for telling the truth. That is as wrong as his homophobia to me. People feel how they feel. The PC bullshit is out of control, and we are about to have a cookie cutter society where no one ever says what they think, and instead give the canned acceptable response.

Dumb

Jim Neighbors was outraged. It has always been his dream to suit up for the niners.

This

Yeah that is definately creepy. Is it that he wants to go all Larry Johnson on women or is it that he has insectious thoughts about his mother and these "females" don't match up?

Stahp.

It's funny how players are baited into these types of things just so the media can overreact.

I think the "gays in sports" conversation was just too much to bareback in the day, it's nice to see it come to the forefront in today's manscape.

I don't see why everyone is being so anal about it, really.

Than Franthisco Forty Ninerths.

naaa man...we can't be having horses...there that horse go again. We got to get up and leave /eric berry

Might come over here and throw a tantrum.

The funny part is he plays for San Francisco.

I saw a few interviews of his team mates who were on the team with Kwame Harris and they didn't have a problem with gays. They were surprised Harris was gay but seemed like they couldnot care less.

Macho jocks dont feel comfortable around gay men? IM shocked

I don't do gays guys either. But, what a man and another man and a midget and a donkey and an amputee do in their own bedroom is their business, not mine.

Well I saw the guy saying this and he looks gay himself. Just sayin.

As NFL fans, miata be more accepting of others.

I agree

WHAT? You mean the ghetto thug culture doesn't understand the importance of acceptance and tolerance of they gheys?

With multi-million dollar locker rooms. I'm surprised each player doesn't have seperate dressing rooms with showers.

Who gives two ****s? He doesn't like gay dudes. Big ****ing deal. In other news that is just as impacting on our society, I had two protein shakes today instead of just one.

I'm sure most people know where Rapid City is. FTR, you're spot on.

You posted my own thoughts, so I'll just quote your post and nod my head in agreement. Hate the views, but respect the honesty.

Eddie DeBartolo is gay

They should of asked him if he was ok playing in the Super Bowl with a murderer. That would have been relevent at least to the game this weekend.

Or ask a Ravens player if they like having a murderer on their team.

It's dumb to put a player on the spot for no other reason than to get a story out of a nonstory that is irrelevant to them playing in the biggest game of the year.

He has got Mark Davis and Woody Johnson to keep him company at owner's meetings.

This forum is gay.

good thing Matt Cassel dont play for them

I don't "respect the honesty" at all. Sure, I don't think he should be persecuted, and I'm not particularly shocked by his statements, but he's still a bigot. Being a loudmouthed bigot doesn't garner any extra respect.

And everyone who calls people a bigot for saying that kind of thing is a hypocrite because they too in turn, disagree vehemently with the ideology in which someone lives their life.

I personally hate the whole "tolerance" bullshit when this topic comes up. And I don't give a crap about gay people. What you do in the privacy of your bedroom, so long as it's between consenting adults, is your business and you're welcome to it. But if someone doesn't like gays it doesn't make them a bigot anymore than a guy who doesn't like tall chics or chics with flat asses.

Not everyone has to be tolerant of everything, and it should also be just fine for someone to disagree with someone else's lifestyle choice and say they don't like it, and people be ok with them saying that. THAT is real tolerance.

Dont beez talkin bout me like dat. Ain't got no gayz up N dis buizness!

Good for him. Someone needs to stand up to the queers.

Think about it - gay dudes get to shower with other dudes they think are hot. Why can't us straight guys shower in the women's locker room?

It just ain't fair!

People who want someone removed from their place of employment for being gay are bigots. It has nothing to do with "disagreeing vehemently with the ideology in which someone lives their life." That is an absurd definition. Here's an actual one:

So is one that treats religious people with intolerance, as we often see on this board (I am not religious), also a bigot?

Let me state again, I don't give a shit about gay people or their life. I also find the idiots that come to their rescue to be the biggest pains in the asses.

You're offended! WOW! Be offended then. JFC the nation of intellectual pussies we have running around now, always being offended by something....

Yes

Abso-****ing-lutely.

I'm not onboard for a national beatdown of the guy. I imagine his sentiments are fairly common on a typical NFL roster. That doesn't mean I applaud his honesty. His words didn't upset me, but they did show he's not only a bigot, but one with very little common sense.

I guess I don't see people as bigots for disliking something.

I don't like a lot of things, but that doesn't make me a bigot. It's called a preference or opinion.

If a guy doesn't want gays on his team, it means his preference is not to have gays on his team. Eventually, society straightens this shit out, but in the meantime people get their thong in a knot too severely about I think.

People hate on religious people FAR MORE than gays, and aren't lambasted for it nearly as much.

I hate to see a college graduate say "we dont got no", the dumb****.

Some guys didn't like having Jim Brown on their team too. BFD.

He's got a degree in communicatin' or some shit like that.

Being gay is a part of who someone is. If he privately believes it is wrong, that's one thing. If he helps to create an uncomfortable work environment for any gay members of the 49ers by shooting off at the mouth, that's behavior, not just an opinion. The entire culture of professional sports wherein men have to lie about who they are just to get by until years after their retirement is pretty ****ed up and just taking comments like this in stride is one way that culture keeps going. Also:

THIS IS HOW SOCIETY STRAIGHTENS THIS SHIT OUT. I'm not for demonizing the guy, but if his comments reopen the discussion, then maybe he'll end up doing more good than harm after all.

I'll bet you did. Totally bet you did, say no more.

:spock:

I like honesty.

It kicks ass.

another reason why he's MVP.

This is patently false. The whole argument. So if I don't like black people eating in the same restaurant as me, that's NOT bigotry, that's just a preference? Good luck with that. As for people hating on religious people, that would also be wrong. But we don't see a lot of 'no Christians allowed' signs do we? Name one instance in your whole life where a religious person was treated with this sort of institutionalized intolerance and I'll give you rep. Oh wait, never mind... Muslims are getting pretty rude welcome these days by the same kinds of bigots who don't want gays anywhere near them.

Now, if he had only said that he thought the idea of two dudes together was kinda gross, I wouldn't call that bigotry. That would be a preference, but saying that he wouldn't want them on the team at all is where he crosses the line. I wouldn't want to have sex with a 280 lb woman, but I wouldn't want someone fired from their job for being 280lbs or for having a 280lb wife. That's the difference between preference and bigotry. Learn it. Further, you can say that anybody's religion or politics or philosophy is dumb. But you if you go further and don't allow Catholics or Liberals into your place of business, you're a bigot. Plain and simple.

This x100

I haven't seen a "no gays allowed" sign in a ****ing team locker room either. Have you?

And maybe muslims should quit blowing shit up and killing people in the name of Allah? Stereotypes exist for a reason.

Saying he wouldn't want them on the team doesn't cross the line. Saying the CAN'T be on the team does. Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing, and so are the context of peoples words. Someone saying they don't WANT black people eating in their establishment is the same as someone saying black people CAN'T eat in their establishment.

Thanks for playing.

Exactly. I know elementary school kids that are brighter than some of these dullards. It's a shame.

.

You'll get skewered for your position. Those demanding tolerance are usually among the least tolerant people you know, because the only tolerance they're really demanding is tolerance of their positions at the expense of all others.

Speak for yourself, brah. Nowadays plenty of dudes are secure enough in their heterosexuality that they are capable of hanging out with gay people without getting all weird about it.

I have a real hard time tolerating a type of person, well actually I loath them & hate is bout the best word to describe the feeling. The worst part of it is that my brother is one. Talk about awkward lol It's sadly true tho and I still have to "accept" him for who he is, doesn't mean I like it. I don't even like to admit this on his part but my brother is a Raiders fan.

Why dammet WHY?:mad: I hate Raiders & I hate Broncos those kind of peoples make me sick SICK I SAY. Should I tollerate and love my brother? ? ? IDK?
I ask that question every day. Per shame he bestowed my family per shame. :(

By the way, there's nothing refreshing about a bigot being "honest," and admonishing people who advance an oppressive or bigoted viewpoint is not "PC bullshit." We're not talking about feelings getting hurt, we're talking about the fundamental issues of equality and discrimination. People like this guy need to stop being "honest" and start seriously reconsidering their backwards, ignorant, misinformed worldviews.

This idea that we're supposed to tolerate intolerance is complete nonsense, and I'm really sick of people pushing it as though it's some kind of brilliant counterpoint.

I assume you meant ISN'T the same.... Well that's good news. Apparently now that the civil rights act has passed there are no more bigots. As soon as the law made them take down their 'no blacks allowed signs' they ceased being bigots. All those klan members like david duke espousing all that hate on antional tv, nope they arent bigots at all because after all they didnt have the legal power to actually keep blacks and whites from getting married. That was just their non bigoted preferences. Whew. Thanks for schooling me.

OH NO GAY BASHING!!!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Shit, I don't do public showers at all.

Punctuation helps.

Oh no! gay bashing! Waaaaaaaa....

Is very different from:

Oh, no gay bashing? Waaaaaaa...

Great post. Thanks. I see you adopted Eric Winston as well. You are just on a ROLL.

I commend you for your bold anti-no-gay-bashing stance.
