In an ordinary draft he might not go at all

Would we even be hearing about this guy if it weren’t for his self proclaimed homosexuality?

Hey, he just wants to be treated like and thought of as any other football player. /s

And if gay isn’t a choice, then it is a disorder, and as such doesn’t anyone with a disease have the right to seek treatment without harassment?

It is a choice to engage in homosexual relations, which is no more justifiable based upon the premise of "orientation" than engaging in any other sin is, as all are born with a orientation to sin.

But regardless of whether one is homosexual by nature or nurture, or both, they should be able to seek treatment for overcoming it without harassment.

How that is relevant to the case at hand i know not, while the pro homosexual activists are the ones who oppose them having treatment.

My guess is, some NFL team has been told to draft him and make damn sure he is on the roster opening day.

I doubt anyone has to be told. He'll get picked up for one of three reasons:

One of the circus teams (Jets) will take him because winning is a distant second to headlines.
One of the desperate teams (Buffalo) will draft him just so someone, anyone, with a camera shows up at their training camp.
One of the do-gooder teams (Steelers) will pick him up to make a political statement.

“How that is relevant to the case at hand i know not, while the pro homosexual activists are the ones who oppose them having treatment.”

I guess now you do know why this is relevant. You answered your own question.

His announcement was designed to garner as much attention as possible, as a way of achieving a better place and result in the draft. This stunt was pure manipulation.

Too small and too slow for DE; someone like Richie Incognito would eat his lunch.

he did not have the size or skill set for any one position

He seems to be well qualified to lead cheers for the media team.

Probably nobody in the stands could hear a player say it. But lots of folks hear it, against their wishes, when used in rap music on the radio, in movies, on TV and over the PA system at football stadiums. When they ban it there with real penalties (say one week license suspensions) then the dirty glass jawed media can talk about football.
