"I'm told this player feels the time is now for someone to take this step -- despite homophobic remarks from San Francisco 49ers defensive back Chris Culliver and the controversy arising recently at the Indianapolis Scouting combine, when prospects were asked questions about their sexuality.

This player's true concern, I'm told, is not the reaction inside an NFL locker room but outside of it. The player fears he will suffer serious harm from homophobic fans, and that is the only thing preventing him from coming out. My sources will not say who this alleged player is.

There has never been an active openly gay player in a major American team sport, but the information I've gathered on the player in question comes from several current and former players."..

You have an actual link there, champ, or did you mean to send us to the CBS homepage featuring Geno Smith?

If the guy thinks he will suffer serious harm from homophobic fans, I guess that makes him a kicker.

Good Q&A with a former player who is gay: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/01/09/wade-davis-on-nfl-players-who-live-semi-open-gay-lives.html

Really good interview. Incredible insight.

And then this at the bottom:

Editor's note: An earlier version of this article contained a photo that incorrectly identified Wade Davis.

Oopsy. ... Was it a photo of someone else?
Or did they just misspell his name or something like that?

I think they are moths that regenerate every 28 days. Especially at night.

It was a picture of Richard Simmons.
 
Wasn't it Freeman who basically implied that Teo's big secret was that he was gay... he struck out on that one.

Count me as skeptical until there's a firmer report.
 
If the unidentified gay NFL player happens to be Tim Tebow, the Internet will explode into a million little pieces.
 
Who gives a flying ****. God damn - if a dude is gay who gives a ****.

This **** is ****ing dumb

Can we just have a running gay thread since it is by its nature a political point?

It's not even in the Bible' Top 10 sins, yet I'm sure you don't treat adulterers and coveters with the same utter contempt. Hell, you probably are an adulterer.
You're as wrong as you can be, but if deception comforts you, go for it. I sure didn't know any sin was OK or more preferable.

Totes magotes, killing somebody is TOTALLY just as equally bad as loving another man.
 
Sex outside of marriage between straight people is just as sinful as gay sex, right, dog?
 
Dog, how many hours a day do you spend thinking about gay issues?

Seems like like a tremendous waste of mental energy.

How many threads are you going to ask that in, idiot, or how many answers will it take before you get it? Back to your plastic bathtub boat, Captain.

Did you have sex outside of marriage? If yes, then you have no right to judge another!s sins. Masturbate? That's a sin. Hung up on what gay men and women do? A sin as well.
