It looks obvious to me the Dolphins have a closeted gay player. I am guessing that would be the anonymous one because until now nobody talked about the homophobic harrassment. That is going to be a huge talking point leading up to the draft. You might be surprised how bad it was down there.

 

I'm not sure how you make the connection between slurs and a potentially closeted gay player.  That's typical banter between a group of guys regardless of their sexual preference.  So, no, it won't be a huge talking point leading up to the draft. 

 

In reading through the report, what I see is a couple of bullies recognizing they had a teammate who was susceptible, and an easy target who didn't fight back.  These idiots, in their testosterone charged environment, simply pushed things well beyond acceptable boundaries.  What amazes me is how the coaching staff supposedly knew nothing about this.  I find that hard to believe, and feel that Philbin and his staff should be held accountable for not having a handle on what was going on with their locker room.
