How do you feel about NFL teams asking draft prospects about their sexuality?

[PortCityProphet]

also there have been gay dudes in the league before and although they were in the closet i doubt they caused any trouble in the lockerroom. they were able to withhold their homosexual urges and not anally rape a teammate in the shower.

It's illegal. Period.

Perhaps the league wouldn't be as pussified with more guys that smash nikkas....on and possibly off the field.

It's a valid question. No owner wants to be sitting there like when the first active player comes out and he's on their team. nikkas put on that good show for the media but there are way more nikkas in line with Culliver (I think that's his name. Ol boy from the 9ers) than Ayenbedajo (I know I didn't spell that right). Then you add the media and bigoted fans (half of them don't like black players ) shyt would just be a mess. Don't think anybody wants to be blindsided by that.

It shouldnt matter.

These dudes act like their locker rooms are sacred ground and stuff shoud stay in house....well IF it is, then no media or fans should ever know if a player is gay or not b/c it should never get out.

To be fair tho, that could already be the case for a few gay players.

 

[PortCityProphet]

how so?

discrimination. but from what i've heard they were asking questions like "do you have a girlfriend?" "do you like girls?" but i dont know if they directly came out and asked "are you a homosexual?" the blurriness of the wording could mean that legally they didn't ask anything wrong im not sure on how the law goes tho

 

[concise]

a team aint losing any fans cause a player is gay.

also there have been gay dudes in the league before and although they were in the closet i doubt they caused any trouble in the lockerroom. they were able to withhold their homosexual urges and not anally rape a teammate in the shower.

You already have folks who can't watch some sports because of the amount of blacks, and yet it's crazy to believe that there are some who would not support a gay player on the team?

As for your 2nd point, with twitters, cameras everywhere, and the constantly growing sports media machine, being able to conceal that is going to be much harder in 2013 than it was in 1977.

you can ask whatever you want tho, its the owners business hes trying to run...its only a problem if theyre able to prove that you didnt choose them for the team specifically because they are homos, which is gonna be impossible..so asking them "are you homosexual?" is not illegal by any means...maybe if they asked and then said "get the fukk outta here u faqqit" then you would have a point

 

[KplusK]

came in here to post this you cant tell me this dude not his whole movements thru the whole thing says something and the fact that the whole locker room was just laughing lets you know they know what it is...dont know whats worse knowing something and keeping it from the masses or just trying to be ignorant to the whole situation

I was referencing a player voluntarily coming out. Even to your point all kinds of shyt gets out that's not supposed to get out. Either way no owner would like to be blindsided by that shyt.

you dont think that opens the door for a law suit though? i think its illegal for any company nfl or mcdonalds to ask your sexual prefrence cause it has nothing to do with if you can do the job or not.

Its Dumb And Doesnt Makes Sense For One Reason...

Not One Guy Is Gonna Flat Out Tell You He's Gay, and You'd Be Stupid To Think They Would

If A Player Is Gay They're Either Openly Out With It Or Gonna Come Out When They Feel Like It, They Aint Gonna Spit Out Their Biggest Secret In A Job Interview That Will Put Their Career In Jeopardy

Muhfukkas Was Expecting An Honest Answer Huh?

 

[Big Blue]

how so?

The same reason why you're not required to disclose your race or religion on job applications. It's discriminatory. LGBT is a protected class.

and there are people who hate blacks and watch sports anyway. don't equate 1 player to an entire league. and for every fan that team loses they'll pick up 3 gay ones. the LGBT or GLAD whatever they call themselves would buy out the jersey and fill the house. Gays ride eachother...i mean ride for eachother


and my 2nd point...nobody knows what the hell NFL players look like unless they are a star. average players can do wtf they want cause no one knows who they are
