Yes, struggling with one's sexual orientation, even in the macho world of football, drives MANY to commit execution style murders.

I guess part of the reason Hernandez murdered Lloyd was his fear that Lloyd would out him. So hey, Jason, it can always be worse!

Also, big-time missed opportunity on "Aaron Hernandez: BURRITO???"

There is easily 1/2 dozen or so gay/bisexual players active in the NFL right now.

Different sport, but the Cubbies have 19 gay/trans folx on their team.

Wouldn't surprise me if there was at least one.

Because you are the gay expert?

You may have the avatars confused. Or I may be drunker than I realize.

Point is tommy is probably the gay expert ... whether you want 'gay' to be a noun or an adjective in that phrase is up to you.

Statistics(3% of the male population in this country identifies as gay). Around 1700 active NFL players, would say at least 50 are gay(standard probability). Now considering the profile of an athlete I don't think its that many..but you would think at least a handful based on that have the "tendencies".

Not that I care either way.

Hey now. Stony was in Playgirl. Twice, I think. (I'm serious.)

I am just kidding about the gay stuff--I really should not make that joke in case anyone wanders onto the board and is like, what the hell? But this Cubs success thing has been hard to take.

Not that there's anything wrong with that

I prefer it as a dangling participle

I don't think you can apply that 3% across the board. More than 3% of interior decorators are gay.

6 players in the entire NFL would be around .05% I think it's fair to say that around that number at least have the tendency to go both ways.

Nor do I, I just haven't kept up on gay stats.

If that conversation didn't exemplify this board, i don't know what does.

_________________

99% of this board is a gay.

That seems conservative.
