Florio: NFL Teams Want To Know If Manti Te’o Is Gay
February 25, 2013 11:21 AM




(CBS) Apparently NFL teams aren’t buying Manti Te’o's declaration that he’s not gay.

After the fake girlfriend hoax exploded in January, Katie Couric asked Te’o if he was gay and the former Notre Dame linebacker nervously responded: ”No, far from it, far from it.”

But according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, NFL teams are still wondering if Te’o is indeed gay and they want to know the answer.



“Here’s the elephant in the room for the teams and it shouldn’t matter but we have to step aside from the rest of reality and walk into the unique industry that is the NFL,” Florio said on The Dan Patrick Show Monday. “Teams want to know whether Manti Te’o is gay. They just want to know. They want to know because in an NFL locker room, it’s a different world. It shouldn’t be that way.”

Florio said he didn’t think teams actually asked Te’o about his sexuality when they met with him over the weekend.

“It’s been described to me as the proverbial elephant in the room and I don’t think anyone knows how to solve this dilemma yet,” he said. “It’s just that they want to know what they’re getting. They want to know what issues they may be dealing with down the road. We just assumed that at some point there would be an openly gay player in an NFL locker room and the team would have to work with the realities and make sure that everything’s fine. Now you have a situation where you have a guy who was in a relationship with a fake girl who ended up being a real man, and the man has said to Dr. Phil that he was romantically in love with Manti Te’o, it just raises a lot of questions that the NFL at some point is going to have to deal with.”

Obviously, if teams are wondering about his sexuality, it’s an indication that it will affect Te’o draft stock. Homophobia has been, and continues to be, a big issue in the NFL.

“I’m not saying anyone would take Manti Te’o off the board if they suspected he’s gay or know he’s gay,” Florio told Dan Patrick. “That’s just the thing that’s out there that they want to know the answer to.”

What Difference Does It Make?

 

[Tryharder62]

[Busybody]

you


but seriously, what difference does it make

 

[Tryharder62]

Please put your signiture pictures under each other so that it doesn't stretch the screen out and it is easier to read please. That is all!

 

[Tryharder62]

It doesn't matter. If he can play so be it. It's not like they have to hold hands and sing Kumbaya in the shower.

No prancing lisping queer (weak effeminate men) could possibly be a linebacker for a top catholic university. It isn't possible.

If we let queers into the NFL, they'll probably want to be permitted to play little league baseball and high school basketball.

My Lord, there could be a queer on the high school football team, showering in the same locker room as your son! OMG, even riding on the bus and sharing a seat!

I wanna see TRANNY FOOT BALL

actually it does matter.
not legally, but practically.

if racism exists in the locker room
it takes the strength of a jackie robinson
and the balls of a branch rickey
to attack it full on.

assuming he is gay...
if a team ain't got no rickey
and manti ain't no jackie
then...

a team and a player going into this situation have to be honest with one another and practical... despite what liberal common sense and the law may say.

He doesn't wear a pink triangle.

Should he?

 

[cleaver]

He doesn't wear a pink triangle.

Should he?

god no!
not my tortured point.

take te'o out of the picture.
i don't care if he's gay straight or a scientologist... whatever

his exposure, for whatever he might be,
is more consequence of exposure itself than any crusade he might have concocted.

that he has been exposed as "something"
be it duped, or curious, or gay,
does bring to the fore this element of his package
that once exposed
cannot be shoved back into the toothpaste tube.

undeniably, there is an anti-gay undercurrent in the locker room.
you and i know it to be ignorance.
ignorance of a type and amongst a type that can
as we both know,
manifest itself in very unfortunate and aberrant ways.

not only that, but...
there are and have been football players who happen also to be gay...
closeted (until afterwards) for the most part.
if the team knows/knew, they have for the most part,
chosen to keep these matters of privacy private.

no. no player should wear a pink triangle
unless it is the choice of the individual to be a gay player
rather than a player who is gay...
(that's a political, social, egotistical, philosophical issue of its own)

te'o unfortunately comes to the combine and draft
with this odd social asterix
not necessarily of his entire making
that may perhaps run smack into an ignorant defensive line...

circumstance may dictate that he and his potential employer
do a bit of extracurricular and honest soul searching
prior to committing to their journey.

heisman runs don't come without costs.

 

[chillywilly2]

Could make the NFL pretty funny...pick out the gay players..

 

[Busybody]

will they allow high heels or will they be forced to wear cleats?

 

[ryan8558]

The way things have gone in Big D recently, they should worry if he can drink and drive responsibly. Don't need anymore players killed by their teammates.

If he unquestionably had the size and talent to excel in his position at the top level of the game...

...there'd be none of this rainbow-colored carpet queer talk presenting itself now as a possible excuse if the Heisman runner-up falls to the 2nd round.

Ffs...

...the third place Heisman finisher this year is being told he ain't no NFL QB, but he might find a spot as a TE. A friggin' TE!

The Lyin' Hawaiian can't begin to hold Robinson's talent bat...

...let alone even pretend he'll ever have #42-sized balls.

He already outed himself in the Alabama game...


He is not fit to mow the Notre Dame practice field. He'll be as important as Tebow. The Jets will take him...

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

They already gayed up the NFL with breast cancer pink.



Nothing for ball cancer, just boobies...



Faggots.
