From Outsports.com:

Former NFL defensive end turned ESPN commentator Marcellus Wiley was asked about an out player in the NFL by the Huffington Post. Wiley said he was Esera Tuaolo’s teammate and that the guys joked with Tuaolo about him being gay (before he came out). And as we hear over and over and over and over and over, Wiley’s fine with it…but he thinks everyone else isn’t.

It would really be tough for a gay guy in the NFL, for the locker room to understand him as a homosexual — I’m not saying it’s impossible to pull off, but I’m saying right now the fear of coming out of the closet and more so coming out in the locker room would really be too tremendous to overcome. It’s unfortunate because it shouldn’t be that way.

    Wait…This story came from ‘Outsports.com’? A website devoted to athletes who have ‘come out’? Devoted to sharing photos of male athletes nude without that man’s consent?

    You mean to tell me that even NewsOne is allowing the fagg0try right along with HB? See now I gave this site a bit more cred than HB and UD….

    Sorry but there isn’t enough propaganda, there isn’t enough media ‘sway’ and programming out there for ME to ever be cool with homosexuality among the black community….

    But WIley is right…the CULTURE of the NFL is masculinity…direct opposite of homo….

    If the NFL doesn’t tolerate homosexuality then…

    Why are NFL players always smacking themselves on the azz after a touchdown.

    I guess this is where the American will start trying to explain their crappy point of view…

    Sort of how rappers and thugs try to differentiate between saying N***r and N**ga…LOL

    I guess its okay to condone homo-erotic behavior BUT not the lifestyle huh

    man, please give me a break.

    Football is pure masculinity. It’s an aggressive, full contact, highly competitive, thinking game……W-H-O has the f-ucking time to worry about whether dude you’re about to tackle, block or scrimmage against is gay or not??!!…WTF??!!…Your mind is deep into the game, not on some guy’s ass curve!…There’s a time and place for gay shyt….but puh-leeeeeeze!!!!….Keep it out of the game of football!!!….LOL!….It’s all we non-gay/heterosexual/women-loving men have left!!!!…LOL!….Keep the gay shyt in the club!!…LOL!….

    This article is another funny one. Why is this being an issue now there are gays that are spreaded out everywhere in the entertainment world. There are gays thug rappers, football players and definitely ones in the NBA. What is the point in talking about because the gays are not going away anytime soon. I am like one reader with all the ass touching in football and everyone balls all over the place in the locker rooms mfs need to stop acting shocked that they are sitting there thinking instead of catchging the ball how they could bobbing and slobbing on a set of balls..

    The NFL “has no tolerance for “Gays”, huh? However, fuctional illiterates,”minstel mentality” bufoons, dog fighters, drug users/pushers, theives, adulterers, domestic violence animals, etc. are welcome to “join the Club”? It could be that the Gay men could add a little class and distinction to the NFL if they have an education above the ninth grade. Puleeze….I’m about to be ill.

    WOW…in the locker room..

    Okay we jus won our game and all of us are naked in the locker room showering…cause basically thats how Atheletes do things. When men are in the locker room we’re all naked and showering….

    With that in mind, I’m taking my shower in my stall and the dude next to me says “HEY GUYS I figure now is the time to tell you guys this so I should just come right out and say…I’m GAY…and I’m proud of it” Ok do you know the EERIE feelings that would pleague the minds of the players? no to mention ALL OF US are NAKED right? So we’re naked in front of a game man whom we’ve been bumpin fist with and slapping each other on the ASS saying GOOD GAME, or GOOD HUSTLE…or jus good sportsmanship. NOTHING GAY ABOUT IT…and now your wonder about all those times he slapped you on yoru ASS telling you how good of a game it was or who good your HUSTLE WAS….or how good you did with that tackle or touchdown….all those times you think back to being in teh locker room naked in front of this dude…and you wondering to yourself….MAN WTF…THIS DUDE WAS GAY ALL THIS TIME…IMA KILL HIM….IMA KILL THIS FOOL…..you begin to feel all violated and icky and disrespected. Your man hood has been tested and although the guy never really had sex with you, you still feel like SH*T knowing that all this time he’s wanted to and COPPED a feel every chance he got while you were thinkin it was GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP!!!

    The locker room is NOT THE PLACE to reveal some BULLSH*T like that, a gayy dude is BOUND to get the SH*T beat otta him MERCILESSLY by a bunch of LINEMEN, LINEBACKERS, TIGHT ENDS, SAFETIES, CORNERBACKS, and even the KICKER and PUNTER will get a few licks in…….they would have to call the national guard to pull all them guys off a gay dude….

    I mean REALLY,who cares? If you’re a MAN a REAL MAN,then you should be comfortable with yourself(not trying to sound all self help guruish,lol)but I have bigger concerns than if the guy next to me is gay or not. And the funny part is most gay guys would probably say “don’t flatter yourself,you’re NOT my type”! Lol! That’s just MHO.
