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:

“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.

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

Maybe that's true. Perhaps if players felt that they could be honest about their sexuality without it harming their careers, they could have a reason to shower separately. The funny thing is an atmosphere like this practically GUARANTEES closeted gay guys will be showering with straight guys.

I thought that was a particularly nice gesture as well. I mean its just his preference to not be around terrorists and its his opinion that Muslim stereotypes are all true, across the board. Therefore they are all Terrorists. Just his opinion though. He cant have them all killed. It's not like he's a bigot or anything.

He was actually making a joke and implying that you're disappointed at the lack of gay bashing in the thread, not correcting your grammar. But weirdly it seems that you weren't quite able to grasp what he did.

People like this guy need to stop being "honest" and start seriously reconsidering their backwards, ignorant, misinformed worldviews.

Perhaps if people came at him educating him instead of condemning him that might be true. The Gay and Lesbian alliance will come after him and persecute him in the same way they don't want to be. There are plenty of people in this country that have problems or are uncomfortable with gay people. It has a lot to do with how they are raised, and usually revolves around religion. They aren't necessarily bad people that should be condemned. A slow understanding approach, and honest discussion is the way to go about it. You are going from one witch hunt to the next. You can't expect people change their views overnight. If we just need to give programmed responses then go ahead and write a script so we don't have to hear back lash about a similar story every ****ing day. What the guy said is stupid, but the response will be every bit as stupid.
