Who fed you that lie? You are acting like it's just geography that accounts for American exceptionalism. Did it ever occur to you that we have foreign born people, who come to the USA with nothing to their name, and after the arrive here and become citizens they do exceptional things? It's our form of government, our freedoms and Rights, our culture and society which brings out the best inside of people that they have to offer to the world.

Statistics work both ways. They're like statistics that way.
So a small few may not be thrilled but the point is they already know they have, or have had gay
team-mates, even if they did not know who they were.

They need to grow up; its no different than gays in the military or the police.
Says the same thing about women who feel uncomfortable to heterosexual men showering with them also. So, tell us, what does it say?

Yup. A guy could declare he's a gay woman and shower with women.

Women should have the same standards as men. They are homophobic if they are uncomfortable. Maybe they should seek counseling for their bigotry.

True but he has $17 million guaranteed and has earned most of the $25 million on his contract. He'll be ok.

Why do most straight men think gay men "want" them?

We still talking about Football locker rooms here? Women have played Football and their showers were separate, this has never been an issue from what I understand.

Issue with women in football was always a strength and size issue, not a shower issue.

Your right I don't tell my co-workers who I "bang"..of course I also don't post that on Social Media.
I don't tell them I had a fight with my wife...of course I also don't post that on Social Media
I don't tell my co-workers that my kid told me off..of course I don't go posting that on Social Media.

See the point yet?

Since you like the workplace analogy. If you are looking for a job do you first post on Social Media that you are looking for a job or do you tell your Boss and Co-workers that you are looking?

If you are quitting your job who do you tell first? Do you tell your co-workers and bosses or do you post it on Social Media?

There are things that are appropriate to bring up at work, and things that are not. There are also things that are better to be discussed with the people directly affected by it first.

So back to the original..this was't him about being some private person..this was an "It's all about me" moment..which he got.

Hopefully he’ll turn out better than Aaron Hernandez.
