Very similar situation
1:20, then 3:10, then 4:10.
Owner forces lone pro bowl player to go on IR to cover up the "situation"
Then the NFL gets spooked and forces ESPN to pull the show after one season.

Non-issue for me. Chances are you've gotten naked in front of gay men before and not even realized it.

49ers have HIGH character players for the most part and are believers in GOD from Willis to CK7 they would get Cruzified by media and some fans if they said what they really felt about this topic a reason why most of the league is quiet about its not acceptable imo.

It's not the NFL but there you go. You got your gay athlete now we can go back to not caring about athlete's sex lives.

No. I'd say you're still operating with a 1950s mentality. You can be straight and not give a s**t. If you do give a s**t... I'm a little skeptical of your straightness.

If you're a homophobe, you're right at home in the NFL. Only NASCAR is more anti-LGBT.

Player from my celtics came out! Openly gay player in the nba! He is 34 at that. Im a straight man, and give him major props for his coming out. Imo took a lot of courage. Just to come out. Someone should not have to fear who they are. Just recently the government stopped their government forced discrimination. Dont ask dont tell.
Go celtics n GOOO NINERS

Culliver's response to that was more an indictment of his lack of situational awareness, and maybe his intelligence quotient. The guy needs to stay away from the mic, and from twitter.
