NEW ORLEANS – Just days before the San Francisco 49ers will take to the field In New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII, cornerback Chris Culliver on Tuesday said that a gay player would not be welcome on the team.

Appearing on the Artie Lange show Tuesday, Culliver, responding to a question by Lange if there are any gay players on the team, said:

Quote:

“I don’t do the gay guys man,” responded Culliver. “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.”

When asked by Lange whether any homosexual athletes would need to keep their sexuality a secret in professional football, Culliver responded: “Yeah, come out 10 years later after that.”

His grammar is about as ignorant as his homophobia.

Well that's his opinion. He doesn't sound like as if he hates them, it's just like with most straight guys; they feel uncomfortable at times.

Someone posted this and then said:

"Okay. Go back to your job chasing around men in spandex and capris."

“The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel. 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.” - Chris Culliver

Dumb. He's saying "if there's a gay person on the team, he can't play and he needs to leave."

How is that not hateful? Even if it's about his "personal comfort zone," by saying someone shouldnt be able to do something because of who they are is hateful.

Beyond Say

LOL @ it being a San Francisco 49er.

Who wrote this for him?

SuperShiro

Some people don't seem to think before they speak their minds. His answers are the dumbest I've heard for a long time now.
