No one has come out and actively played in the NFL at the same time. There has been many NFL players who came out after their careers ended.

Edit: Perhaps you are thinking about Kwame Harris? He stopped playing in 2008, but came out after a domestic abuse charge in 2013.

There are plenty of players who prayed on the field and thanked God long before Mr. Tebow planted the little swimmers into Mrs. Tebow.

Steve Largent and Jim Zorn were famous for just that. And there were plenty long before them too.

The was a punter for the Colts who was in a Christian rock band that went out to convert people.

Phillip Rivers is devout and does all kind of work.

The Tebowers are just lying..

Russell Wilson certainly says his prayers. And Matt Hasselbeck was famous for it as well.

Nevermind guess it was just a rumor about jeff garcia.

Sports fans can add San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia to the growing list of professional athletes who feel the need to declare that they are heterosexuals.

Yes, I remember all the jokes about Rivers, and all the tweets from other players mocking his virginity, and when people talked about "Rivering", and the articles in the NY Times about Rivers Christianity, and....

Oh wait....

I think he's referring to Roman Gabriel. Although Gabriel played for the Rams and the Eagles. There were rumors about him too. Though he too was married. The rumors started because he hung out with Liberace. lol

Well, Jeff had absolutely all the classic mannerisms. It was widely assumed he was. Even his teammates openly questioned it, including Terrell Owens.

When did I say Lewis was a "stand up guy"? You might want to read what people actually post, rather than what you want to see.

Who cares? Either you can play football or not. No one wants to know who or what adult you're sleeping with.

Ya know how you see two guys together, and you feel it's kinda uncomfortable and a bit gross?

Same here, but in reverse. Male + Female = kinda uncomfortable and a bit gross.
 
Re: http://www.latimes.com/sports/football/nfl/la-sp-michael-sam-nfl-draft-20140511-s

Our society has degenerated into a dysfunctional, backward mess.

Children should not be subjected to this crap... 2 men kissing on national TV?? Now I can't even let my kids watch the NFL draft??

I was in the supermarket last year with my 3 year old daughter. She was sitting in the cart, and I was shopping. I turned around and noticed her staring... 2 lesbians acting the fool!! If they want to do that crap - get a room, same as a man and a woman. It made me sick that I had to whisk my daughter out of the area, so she wasn't subjected to that type of misbehavior.

Decency in public is all-but gone.

As for the Sam thing and the CB for the Dolphins getting suspended - what the Dolphins did was every bit as sick and disgusting as Sam kissing his boyfriend on TV.

Sick, sick, sick.

I truly hate Amerika - horrible place to live now.

Do you have hetero parents?
 
The NFL is there for a reason.........to promote the leftist agenda. First they spent a generation promoting blacks....since 1989 the league has consistently drafted only 20-25 percent White players.......now they have taken on the gay agenda with fervor........complete with kissing males on national television. And if you don't go along with the agenda........you are punished like the Miami player who sent out negative tweets about the televised kissing. My generation grew up on football and it's hard to put it down.......but the younger White kids are playing lacrosse and asking their Dads 'why do you spend all weekend watching a bunch of dreadlocked thugs knock into each other?'

Sam, great person wonderful man.
Tebow, outcast.
Shows exactly where our nation is heading.

How is Tebow an "outcast"?

Tebow doesn't have an NFL job because Tim Tebow sucks.
 
CRUE CAB said:
Um they were barely .500 without him.

After they replaced Tebow with Manning, they were in the Super Bowl within two years.

CRUE CAB said:
And yes he did mission work. Post another pic of a white player doing something similar after scoring or winning. I have been watching football for many many years and cant think of one. Lots of black players do something, like point to the sky and they get no guff for it.

No, he was just the first guy to get insulted, degraded, mocked, laughed out, and generally deingrated because he's a Christian.

He wasn't insulted, degraded, mocked, laughed out and generally denigrated because he was a Christian. He was all of the above because he was a crappy quarterback that ESPN put on TV 24/7.

well america proves your statement factually false everyday, not only for gays but straights too lol

if gays had equal rights and there wasnt still a large amount of hatered and bigotry and discrimaintion towards them in this country then you MIGHT have a point but since thats not true your statement if false.

Not to mention millions are made on the stories of who straight people sleep with daily in the media.

Now if you want to say it SHOULDNT matter I agree 100% it shouldnt matter but the bigots make it matter along with the gossip king and queens.
