Dateline

This is the third article I've posted on Bigotry in the NFL

It has become increasingly apparent that the NFL has become a den of bigots who think that homosexuals are inferior human beings and that there is no place in the world of prima donna, overpaid, lazy athletes who kill dogs, murder humans and escape scrutiny for 17 years, or who beat up their girlfriends and win Super Bowls as a quarterback to allow guys who suck cock and love other men.

The seminal article I posted in this past week spoke about Manti from Notre Dame who has had a fabricated girl friend and now who has rumors swirling that he's a cock sucker.

Yesterday I posted another article about another player who was asked "if he likes girls" and he is selected out for questioning about his sexual orientation.     

Today there is word that yet another man is asked about his sexual orientation....

THIS SHIT MUST STOP!

At this point, the NFL must act IMMEDIATELY to fine and to ban any personnel from any football club that asks sexual orientation or gender identity questions in their pre-hiring practices.    Failure to do so makes the NFL complicit is systematic violation of private citizens' rights and this should be considered a hate crime and any advertiser of the NFL should hence be pressured in removing any and all advertising and support and "official" designation from their products or they too will be complicit in hate crime and bigotry!

I have two articles that appeared today on the Pro Football Talk's website for your review.

Forward the link to this post to your friends so that they can contact the NFL and to protest the outrageous civil rights violations toward homosexuals.

From Pro Football Talk

Le’Veon Bell says he was asked questions about sexuality

And now there are two.

Of the 330-plus players who attended the Scouting Combine, two have admitted on the record that questions were asked indirectly about sexual orientation.

First, it was Colorado tight end Nick Kasa, who was asked by at least one team, “Do you like girls?” Now, Michigan State running back Le’Veon Bell says that questions indirectly were posed regarding sexuality.

“Yeah, yeah, there were questions just like that,” Bell told WDFN radio, via the Detroit News. “There were definitely a couple weird questions. I got asked so many of them, I don’t remember them all. But that was definitely a couple questions I got asked.”

The NFL has reacted strongly to the situation. But it remains to be seen whether actions will match words. At a minimum, Kasa and Bell need to be questioned by the league office about the questions posed during the Scouting Combine.

To do it right, all of the players who attended the Scouting Combine should be asked about the questions they were asked.

And if the NFL determines that one or more teams crossed the line, the NFL needs to take action. The best way to get a team’s attention is to take away draft picks. In this specific setting, where teams are violating league policy (and in some juridictions the law) by asking questions aimed at helping the teams use their draft picks, it makes perfect sense to strip picks.

Two execs confirm teams want to know about Te’o's sexuality

Pro football Talk - When I wrote earlier this week that, for NFL teams in Indianapolis, the elephant in the room when interviewing linebacker Manti Te’o's was his sexuality, some thought that I was speculating on his sexuality or doing anything other than passing along the information I was given: Teams want to know if Te’o is gay.

Right or wrong (i.e., wrong), they want to know.

Badly, apparently.

Albert Breer of NFL Network reports that two executives told Breer it’s the one question they’d ask Te’o, if they could.

But they can’t. Not to Te’o. It’s one thing to jokingly (but still inappropriately) ask Colorado tight end Nick Kasa if he “likes girls.” It’s quite another to ask Te’o that question, or anything similar to it.

Though the speculation about his sexual orientation initially arose via clumsy logic that having a pretend girlfriend in California gave him an excuse for not chasing real women in Indiana, the fact that the pretend girlfriend actually was a man who later told Dr. Phil that he was in love with Te’o created another layer of confusion in an inherently confusion situation.

Breer later explained, via Twitter, that the execs said they would ask the question “because it’s relevant to how they’d fit in” and also because “it’d be a HUGE story, so you’d inherit that” by drafting the player.

But here’s the thing. The executives assume Te’o would admit to being gay, if he is. He already has provided the “faarrrrr from it” response to Katie Couric on national TV. Why would he reverse course in a job interview?

Lest we haven’t previously been clear on this point, the fact that teams are curious is wrong. The fact that they believe they have a plausible basis for wanting to know speaks to a deeper level of dysfunction that is tolerated in a locker room but nowhere else in American society.
