They need to get over it, IMO.

No. He needs to get over his backwards-arse attitude.

No matter where they stand on the issues of homosexuality, they could act and speak a whole lot classier.

Class, a lost art. So is humility.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it, just as I am entitled to mine. And if you want to attack me for my opinion you can go screw yourself as far as I'm concerned.

Your opinion that the people moaning about the fact that a player said that any gay player on his team should get out is well worth attacking you over.

Um, What?

So, Sherlock says, his team apologised for him just to get people off his back (no pun ) because his language skills sure have improved since his first statement

"The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel," Culliver said in a statement released by the team. "It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience."

v.

“I don't do the gay guys man," said Culliver, whose Niners play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. "I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.

"Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah…can't be…in the locker room man. Nah."

Wiki says he majored in Sport and Entertainment Management. If he'd majored in English and Philosophy, I'd share your concern more

No! They are a bunch of fairy's also (not that there is anything wrong with that)


I am suprised that a team of pansys like the forty whiners hasn't any alternative lifestyle types on the team.

I think the point no one has made so far is, why is this guy allowed to speak publicly in the first place. I don't always make the most eloquent speeches, usually littered with F bombs, anatomical references, and suggestions of how and where an individual can store the inanimate object in question within his body. I do NOT however, make them to the press, nor would I do so knowing that I represent my organization.

If you're stupid and you know it, keep your mouth shut around journalists and microphones.

Also, BigJosh and Hazzard, this may or may not help you sort your difference of opinions. I feel he is fully entitled to this opinion. That entitlement is part of his rights as an American. HOWEVER, that right only extends to the point where it infringes on the rights of another. That whole, life, liberty, pursuit of happyness business. And yes, there is a certain expectation of crude behavior from football players, but again, they may have to just gag the stupid ones in public to prevent spillage.
