Well. This guy sucks.

[saraandmichael]

I just read about this (it was an article linked from cnn).

sad, sad, sad.

[hisno1girl]

"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."


I think they should kick him off the team for his grammar skills, or rather, lack thereof.

I'm LOLing at his comments vs his statement of apology:

"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. "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."

I'm sure those are his words.  Yep. Uh-huh.

[pinkflats]

I read this yesterday, he is such a dick.

[Bernadine]

FTR, Brendan Ayanbadejo of the Ravens has very vocally supported gay marriage rights, so please feel free to let that sway who you'll be rooting for on Sunday!

[flamingeaux]

But he apologized! That makes it okay right?

::)eta
I saw someone beat me to this... oh well I'm leaving it.  Maybe the more we see it in print we'll realize how ignorant and assholish this guy really is...

Oh ew.

[Bernadine]

He's cute, too!

lol, that reminds me of my 4.5 y.o when I asked him why he broke his toy, his response was "I didn't want to but my brains..." NOT OKAY

Dude's probably gay

Rawr.

"I don't do the gay guys man," - Every closeted homosexual, ever.

[cleo29]

I want to whisper " They're already ON the team"

Kind of how Woody freaks out Sid in Toy Story. "We're everywhere!"

What an ignorant prick.

Brendan and Chris Kluwe are my heroes.

Chris Kluwe is awesome. "Lustful cockmonster" is my new favorite phrase.

Hmmm, looks like I just started caring about the game since nobody from the 49ers organization publicly contradicted this guys statements.....

Go Ravens!

They did.  From the linked article: "The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made [Tuesday], and have addressed the matter with Chris. There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community."


That doesn't make this kind of hatefulness any more okay, but I did want to put that out there.  

[margotmacomber]

I was already rooting for Baltimore, but that guy is an idiot.  This guy knows he is going to be on tv and his words are going to be broadcast and have an impact on the team as a whole.  duh muthafucka

So they gave him a talking to about not saying anything before clearing it with a publicist? That's what I'm reading. Unless he's not playing and doing something with actual consequences it's just lip service.

Unless they are benching him for the game, this is just PR fluff

True that. The coach said this morning, when asked about whether it would impact his play time at the SuperBowl "I think it’s going to impact him going forward."  Which is very evasive.

I hope they do the right thing and bench him.

[Deleted]

Does he seriously think all however many thousand people playing professional football are all straight? Sick sad world. I hope some of his friends come out to him now and make him feel like crap.

[Jalapeñomel]

I highly doubt there are any gay football players, so he has nothing to worry about.

[soozy87]

He has the right to his opinion, just like all of you do.

[open24hours]

LOL his "apology" - I have these thoughts in my head but they aren't how I feel.

Now I have more fuel to my righteous indignation of the 9ers which has not gone over well in the Bay Area.

Yes, but he does not have the right to express it on behalf oh his team

or the right to make public hateful statements about a large portion of the population without consequences

Yeah, he should have said "Any statements I make are said only on my behalf and do not reflect the views and opinions of my team...or at least some of them"

No one should be hateful. Would it have been hateful if he just said, "I don't feel comfortable exposing myself in front of a gay man"?

You're right.  It is his right to say as many moronic things as he wishes.  It's also our right to express our opinions that this jack ass is an ignorant, hateful piece of shit, and I wish someone would have handed his father a condom on the night he was conceived.

[cleo29]

I hate that men think all gay men are attracted to all other men just like I hate how the Boy Scouts seems to think gay= pedophile. The former smacks of incredibly arrogance and if he is uncomfortable, that is something HE has to deal with.

Listen, if a Rugby teams in England was able to come to grips with one of their team mates being openly gay and even joke about it, I think the NFL can get over it too.

[Deleted]

What a fucking moron.

[flamingeaux]

Why is he so much more afraid of exposing himself in front of a gay man than in front of straight man? I've been in locker rooms with lesbians before and not one incidence of rug munching has occured just because we both happened to be undressed in the same room.

It would be ignorant. 

Of course he probably assumes any woman who turns him down is a lesbian.  Since that would be the only reason they wouldn't be attracted to God's gift to everyone attracted to men.
