lol, welcome back kotter... i met Ron Palillo, aka Horshack... he starred in a film a friend of mine made... we all went out for drinks after the premiere... pretty cool dude, all things considered... didnt take my criticism of the film etc in a negative manner, and was receptive to what i thought of his performance, both good and bad...

Greg Ellis: "People who’ve never been in an NFL shower room, not just locker room, it’s a open room. We don’t have private curtains. It’s just an open-form shower, so everybody sees each in the nude. Well if you’re looking at men as if you’re looking at women or vice versa, how are those guys to receive that?"

Not directed at you....but Ellis.

Has he not heard of professionalism?

I wonder if he thinks a male OB/GYN gets aroused during an exam.

Ridiculous.

Exactly.

I will say this in the most diplomatic, forum rule abiding way as I possibly can. If something breaks the rules, @CouchCoach has the permission to spank me as sexually or non sexually as he pleases.

If I was in a locker room surrounded by the average woman where I live, the Midwest, I’d be grossed out by the majority of them. Casey’s pizza and Pepsi are the predominant sources of nutrients here, and it shows. I’m not being mean - there is an epidemic of obesity happening.

The people commenting on this who are worried about it, and any NFL players who are worried about it, know nothing about sexuality. I don’t want to have sex every woman I see, and I’m sure Nassib doesn’t want to have sex with every man he sees. 99% of the population feels the same way. Whoever doesn’t feel that way needs some sort of therapy.

Even as a straight male, there are different body types I like. Any straight make can agree with that. I like woman with robust high. The Beyoncé, Scarlett Johansson, Miliana Vayntrub type. But most men I know want women with big tops and skinny waists.

Point is, just because someone is gay, doesn’t mean they’re automatically going to be attracted to every man in the locker room, just like you wouldn’t be attracted to 52/52 women you’d associate with in a similar circumstance.

What does this forum say about mentioning drugs? Because I’m not going to say I am on them right now.

Exactly, and I can say, as someone who is bisexual/gay (this should be of no surprise to anyone that knows me on here), being gay doesn't mean you get turned on by every guy. It just means you are into guys as opposed to girls or, if you're bisexual, you're into both. There are a lot of guys I'm grossed out by, just as I'm grossed out by a fair amount of girls too. In a football locker room, I'd be focusing on playing football, not the chap next to me.

Saying “I don’t care” is a more “useful” comment? Lmao k
It is. I have never had a problem w/ gay people, and don't care if they come out or not. That is a useful comment. Yours reeks of adolescent ineptitude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for him and other non binary folks. If you cannot deal with this, then you are a neanderthal! If you think he is going to get excited in the shower then you are a fool. Do you think he hasn't taken showers with his team mates since high school? I went to Penn State where he was a star. I do not believe anyone at PSU complained and his teammate Saquon Barkley gave him a big thumbs up.

Lots of Neanderthals here in Texass unfortunately.

Thinking about it, didn't Jerry attempt to capitalize on this type of attention a few years back?

I recall we signed a DE who had come out while w the Rams...something like that.

I refuse to look it up lol.

When I was younger, I used to play a little basketball(Badly,btw) at the sportscenter. There were a couple of gay guys who played w/ us. Everyone knew, and no one cared.

I've never had an issue w/ gays and treat them exactly as I'd treat anyone. When I say I don't care, I truthfully mean that I do not care. I don't base my associations/friendships on another's secksual orientation.

FWIW, Nassib's jersey rocketed to #1 in sales on the Fanatics website, one of the largest online sports retailers.

It's puzzling to me how anyone could have an issue with what he said (or more importantly, who he is).

Good for him. After the Michael San draft camera, I’m glad he didn’t announce that on draft night

Side note, anyone remember when there was talk his brother was going to be a 1st round selection? Like the day of the draft, there were reports he’d be the 1st QB taken and then he slid all the way to the 4th. 2013 was a bad qb draft

I remember that. That was a bad QB draft class.

That battle had already been won.
There is literally no threat against him for coming out. In fact people are more likely to throw him a parade.

that’s interesting logic. when was the last time someone was thrown a parade, just got them coming out? Because I can link you some articles of people attacked for being gay.

I will say I doubt anyone attacks a 6’7 270 pound athlete. Physically at least

I can link you to gay pride parades also.

This is basically the crux of it.

Those aren’t for any one person coming out. So I don’t see what that has to do with your comment saying, “In fact people are more likely to throw *him* a parade.”

So I’m curious when was the last time you heard anyone throwing a parade for an individual coming out, because I can link several articles on individual people being assaulted for being gay.
