He probably has a blog or a radio show and is going to discuss it during prime traffic hours. An exclusive break like this would be something not to waste on a late Monday night.

 

[Irishnuke]

Do not care.

 

[tadman95]

came out from where? Kinda cold to do that, couldn't wait to spring?

 

[GBdomer]

What is going on?

 

[Buster Bluth]

Good for him. I can see how dumb jocks from the hood aren't as accepting as your usual college kid.

That's just stupid.

There are plenty of college kids who aren't from the hood who are against gays as well.

Hey, cool. Also, I really hope he's at someplace like Bama, because the chaos would be incredible. More likely, some podunk NAIA-level lib arts school w/ a token football team.

 

[Irishbounty28]

Jameis Winston?

 

[kmoose]

How poetic would it be, if the player was Eddie Vanderdoes?

 

[dublinirish]

my bet is AJ McCarron

 

[palinurus]

Anzalone?

Maybe he'll do an artistic edit for the player's twitter profile.

 

[levicarvalho]

Shane Morris..

 

[T Town Tommy]

Is Clowney still technically on his team? And does this change the meaning of the phrase "coming out early?"

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Have a feeling this isn't a retrospective piece on Richie Incognito.

DIII. Knew it wouldn't be a big-time program. Good on him, tho'.

 

[NDWorld247]

Good for him. I'm sure it was a hard decision and will help other players in the same situation.

I look forward to the day this isn't news though.

I really don't see were it is an issue or why anyone cares!

He likes that life style thats his choice. He has that right.

It's not like he is forcing on others leave the poor kid alone.

 

[irishog77]

Wasn't Aaron Rodgers supposedly gay a couple weeks ago?

Yes

I'm not sure how you interpreted my post, and I'm not sure exactly how to interpret your post, but I think I agree with your stance. I simply meant it's unfortunate that someone's sexual orientation is national news. I understand why it is (he's the first college football player to come out publicly), but hopefully one day this type of "news" doesn't make headlines. That's all I was saying.

That's just it. It's not national news. It's not on Drudge, CNN, or Fox. Nobody cares. The problem is, there are people in the "grievance industry" who want people to be outraged because they make their living creating victims and then defending them against the evil majority.

It will be. It's been two hours. Give it time.

Edit: I'd say it's national now...

Is Bleacher Report really considered news?

Also, so when did Aaron Rodgers stop being gay?

J/K

 

[dshans]

All I can do is SMH



and wonder



Why???



This is, sadly, a fabricated shit-storm.



Move along. Nothing to see here.

 

[palinurus]

I find this shocking. I didn't know Willamette had a football team.
