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.

To me, your argument is no different than someone saying "I can't believe we can't go around saying ****er and person of Hispanic heritage! I've been saying it all my life and I don't wanna change. **** these intellectual pussies!".

So...

You're a bundle of sticks then?

[warpaint*]

Nothing "shocking" about that answer.

The more you post, the more you come across as a ****ing hillbilly reerun.

You're missing the point, entirely

KingDipShit strikes again.

By baited, I suppose you mean, questioned?

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.

Actually, it does.

It means that people are intolerant of other people's lives, even though it doesn't impact the lives of those passing judgement.

I'm sure you're experienced enough to know that 99% of all gay men would never hit on you as a heterosexual man, because anyone would know immediately that you're not gay.

So, there should be no fear, no anger and no intolerance towards homosexuals in general.

[Oh Snap]

Did anyone else think that this guy is hiding something? Its usually the straight up homophobes who turn out being gayer than Richard Simmons singing a duet with Elton John in a Bath House.

Also, sad that he feels this way (no homo). It wasn't all that long ago that people who shared his skin pigment weren't allowed to use fountains, restrooms, buildings, and/or marry whites.

they were murdering each other before the colonists arrived...and some hooked up with said colonists to kill other tribes.

besides, that doesn't invalidate terrorists acts committed by Muslims, just like yelling allah akbar before going on a shooting rampage at Ft Hood doesn't constitute workplace violence.

Blacks should be FAR more supportive of LBGT community and its fight for rights, yet it seems they are some of its staunchest critics. I never quite understood why; I'm thinking its largely a religious issue.

Whew, this is a gigantic sociological issue that can't be answered easily with a singular broad stroke.

African-Americans may have been the largest minority in the country for several decades. But that doesn't necessarily mean that as a minority, they should "join forces" with the LGBT community in hopes of furthering the cause of Civil Rights in America.

Same goes for Asians and Latinos: You can't just pair races and minorities up for no other reason other than they're minorities, with the hopes that hooking up with the LGBT community will somehow give their cause more credence and acceptance.

Yes.

Good thing we wiped them all out. They were already doing it before we got here!

This is akin to claiming that the Japanese dynasties, the Chinese dynasties, the Russian Czars, the English, French, Spanish and Romans killed each other, too.

I'm not sure how you can compare one lone nut to the US Federal Government.

I think it's funny when people try to apply todays standards to life over two centuries ago.
