Plenty of gays in the league is my guess. See if you can find a picture of Clay Matthews standing next to a girl?
Can't say I approve much less understand it, but its there and since I am a nature over nurture I assume they are cross wired from birth.

I think the only type of player who can come out of the closet and be the first openly gay player will be a star prospect or a player who transcends the game like Peyton Manning or Adrien Peterson(before the knee injury). Otherwise it won't happen to a 3rd string tailback or punter. It's too easy to cut that class of player and management can argue that they felt other players were more valuable to the team. Granted the media exposure and pressure from the media would be huge on any gm that had the first openly gay player so a Wade Davis type could be a make a roster as form of ethnic pandering.

WTF? Bears fan? Confused with Clay Aikens?

An quick internet search revealed the following picture:

It also says he has a long time girlfriend who is black! Maybe it'd be better if he was gay?

I've never considered the Matthews clan as personifying anything other than being tough as nails. Clay Sr. played 20 years in the NFL, Bruce played almost as long, and Clay Jr. has certainly made his mark as a great defensive player in a league that prefers almost all of its defensive stars to be Magical Negroes.

A year ago I did a google search thinking that he would have been surrounded by tail (female) and was curious what he could land, and I came up with zilch. I honestly don't care all that much, and as I said I cannot condone it much less understand it, but I'm not going to torture someone because of their natural cross wiring.

"Gay bashing" is reactionary and reactionary first starts out as the morally superior position but over time for right or wrong it starts to look childish.

He was a presenter at the Grammys, and they found him a girl to stand next to, hard to imagine how difficult that would be to arrange. Now of course it is kind of shocking when one finds out how a tough guy turns out to be a homo but it happens time to time. GB some years ago had a tough as nails player, well he is a sharp dresser and lives in Atlanta, go figure.

You said, and I quote: "See if you can find a picture of Clay Matthews standing next to a girl?" I googled Clay Matthews images and that was the first thing that popped up. So my point was that it was pretty easy to find a picture of him standing next to a girl. There were other pictures and I picked that one. I agree it's an awards show and that is not a girlfriend.

The was other information that mentioned a girlfriend--and that she was black. So whatever. I agree with what you are saying though, it may be that he doesn't like to cat around and so unlike nearly everybody his age there are not thousands of pictures of him posing with duckface chicks. Or it may be that he is gay. I cannot say. I agree with your take on that issue as well. Hopefully not, but it doesn't make a difference to his caste-busting play on the field.

I would prefer he be straight and have about a dozen tow headed children.

I wonder why attitudes on homosexual players are "changing very rapidly." Is it because human nature has suddenly and inexplicably changed dramatically, or could it be because the change in attitude has been forced on the public through a variety of top-down methods?

Connor Barwin Says Attitudes on Gay [sic] Players Are Changing 'Very Rapidly'

Before any gay NFL player comes out of the closet, he needs to have some sense of what will happen when he does.

If he’s a member of the Texans, he has a strong supporter in linebacker Connor Barwin.
Barwin, who has an openly gay brother, tells Outsports.com that the process of a player coming out may not be as difficult as believed, although at first it could be a challenge.

@wile I was being somewhat facetious. I would never use that term in a serious conversation, I agree it's a reactionary term.

I also have no reason to believe you're an ignorant sl*t for that matter...just in case that needed clearing up too.

IMO, Clay Matthews should not be accused of being gay unless you have explicit photos.

You are quite right sir. But give me weasel wording brownie points, I never explicitly said he was a homo. I'm simply saying it is possible that otherwise tough football playing white men might have crossed wires.

Before anyone here thinks I'm some lefty squish trying to inflict PC upon CF let me disabuse that. Queer politics are heinous, and I hold the radical notion that the homo lobby is in no way morally superior to us, regardless of what the low legitimacy presidential administration says.
