NFL.com: Chris Culliver (49ers CB) wouldn't accept openly gay player

I hope San Fran wins now.

This is just what Ray Lewis needed, someone to say something dumb so the Superbowl story is no longer about his PED story.

He is entitled to be as hateful as he wants, there is no law against being an *******, but he is playing for the wrong team.

This is how I feel. It isn't, and shouldn't be, illegal for someone to be homophobic. It's his opinion and he's entitled to it, though I vehemently disagree with it.

Now, if he feels the need to "beat the gay" out of a future teammate, then we've got a major problem.

[Bang]

I have the audio of this, and we will likely make fun of him heavily on the next BCRH podcast. (Not tomorrow's show. Tomorro's show we have Freb Smoop signing the jailhouse blues among other things.)

I think it's a very ignorant point of view, to which he's nonetheless entitled. What would Culliver be saying if the biggest, meanest, scariest guy in the NFL were gay? Probably not much.

If Ray Lewis is gay, now is the time for him to come out.

Two comments on this.

1. His problem is compounded becasue he plays in San Francisco, with the most active and robust gay community of any NFL city.

2. It's interesting to me that this story breaks on Jackie Robinson's birthday.

Jackie Robinson was gay? I didn't know that!

i think anybody should have the right to be openly gay in the nfl but i also feel that teammates have the right to feel uncomfortable around them in the locker room.
how would this be any different than an openly heterosexual man in a women's locker room.

I hope San Fran wins now.

I hope Culliver is the MVP.

I must say that I like the 49ers' statement, being in a large gay community and all. It's much more refreshing than the women's pro b-ball league acting like lesbians don't play on the teams or that their fan base contains large numbers of lesbian fans.

As to this player's statements, he's entitled to his opinion except for telling possible gay players not to come out or to get off the team.

[Mr. Sinister]

I hope Culliver is the MVP.

I don't think I've ever heard of that guy. Must play Right Bench.

I don't think that he's suggesting Jackie Robinson was gay... At least I don't think so.
