Quote:He lived in the closet as far as his football team was concerned, we don't know much about his life before then. Anyway, imagine a life where you can't be yourself, that you feel you must be in a closet. I'm not projecting anything here, just pondering the possibilities behind his motivation.

 

I'm surprised you even watch Maher, but you and he are correct, there is a gay mafia, just like there is a media-driven mafia behind just about every political or social agenda. But aren't we a part of that just by commenting on it?

 

My point is that if he has an agenda, so what? He is in a profession in which his destiny is controlled. He could not choose where he works, or for whom. All he can control is his effort and how his story is told. All he has is verbal assurances that he will be given a fair shot, nobody told him before the draft exactly when he would be drafted or how much money he will make, or even assured him he would make anything beyond any guaranteed money provided by his contract. He's grabbing what he can, while he can. It's the American way, no?
