49ers cornerback: No gays allowed

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

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.

This forum is gay.

good thing Matt Cassel dont play for them

[MahiMike]

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!

And you claim I'm the biggest asshole in this forum.

[TheGuardian]

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....

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.

[TheGuardian]

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.

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:

Eventually, society straightens this shit out

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.

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.

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.
