Openly gay NFL player

posted 12th Feb
I don't mean to you, but do you think there would be a huge negative backlash if there was a openly gay NFL player (that was curently playing)?

I don't know if there is but I was watching the Law and Order SVU about the NFL player who was outed when his secret lover was murdered.

No i wouldn't think twice really. A person is a person. I don't think it would matter. (although some will have their opinions).

Little to no I would hope, maybe some mild backlash for the homophobes out there but I'd hope they'd all be mature adults.

Saw a thing on ESPN a player made a big stink about gay players

I wouldn't care but I can totally see it being a big deal in the media and maybe on the team cause of the locker room and such. Idk. It's hard to say.

I highly doubt that currently, everyone playing in the NFL is heterosexual. There must be at least a few bisexual and homosexual players.

With that being said, if there wasn't a fear of backlash, we would know who they were.

Unfortunately smurf is still backwards and there are way too many homophobes out there. I can see many of them being NFL fans.

I agree, statistically speaking, there would have to be a couple gay NFL players, well more than a couple  

I could never see them coming out, as long as they are still active, once they retired yes I could see it happening.

I do have my suspicions about at least one NFL player, that is active

There would be huge backlash. Not from me though.

I know there were a few who went public and I don't remember any backlash from the teams or the players, but some from the dipsmurf fans.

The players really can't backlash, they have an image to maintain. I'm sure some of them had their opinions.

Oh definitely. I can imagine some of them were truly against it.
