N.F.L. Will Advise Teams on Discrimination Policy

[ConservativeStatement]

The N.F.L. will distribute to its teams in the next few weeks an information sheet that will reinforce its antidiscrimination policy and will lay out in detail what constitutes discrimination based on sexual orientation and what team members can do about it. The distribution of the information sheet comes after players said they were asked during the Scouting Combine if they liked girls.

[ConservativeStatement]

Again, show an image of any team's cheerleaders. If the player cringes, chances are you have the answer.

Hey, NFL: While you’re mulling over the sexual orientation diversity thing, could you ask why you don’t you have more white players on the field? I mean, they are underrepresented, right?

[tomkat]

Fairy Solidarity ribbons .. coming soon !

(flaming pink, of course)

[EEGator]

Not one white cornerback in the whole league! This is a disgusting travesty!

[ConservativeStatement]

And the Commissioner tends to hug offensive players drafted more than defensive players. How offensive!

[FatherofFive]

The NFL has been discriminating against me for years. I'm old, slow, can't jump, can't throw, kick or catch a football very well. I can't block or tackle.

THERE IS NOBODY IN THE NFL LIKE ME!

If this isn't discrimination, I don't know what is.

[EEGator]

I demand Congressional hearings.

[MaxMax]

So the NFL is going Gay whether you like it or not, and they'll shove it down your throat
regardless of who you are. A perverted movement based solely on perverted sexual behavior.

Hey NFL, you are not my teacher, or employer, or parent. You are nobody to shove a political
agenda towards anybody. You are entertainment only, and can now rot in hell. I hope you go broke.

[PoloSec]

I think the NFL will eventually go to playing flag football, wouldn’t want anyone getting hurt.

The flags however would have to placed on the shoulder pads, wouldn’t want to give the impression of any grabass going on.

[Impala64ssa]

So no more tight end, wide receiver or Green Bay Packers jokes?

The Browns

Heheh...good one!

Anyone remember this from In Living Color? Men on Football

[pgkdan]

Roger Goodell won’t be satisfied until the NFL is nothing but a distant memory.

Truly.

The sad thing is that blacks make up around 10-12% of the US population, and homosexuals make up around 4-6%. However, blacks make up the majority of players in the NFL. That means, to my limited math training, that if there is multiple homosexual players in the NFL, they’re probably black.

[ConservativeStatement]

Is that a Houston Oilers’ jersey?

For some reason, after the Oilers, relocated, there was a convenience store on Fort Lauderdale Beach that had a barrel full of Oilers’ replica footballs.

[BlueStateRightist]

Every starting line-up, defense and offense, will have a mandated homosexual, identified by a pink, quarter-sized circle on the back of his helmet. No exceptions. I welcome it, as it will give blacks a taste of their own affirmative action medicine.

[Phillyred]

Jeez oh man! Enough!!!!! I guarantee they’ll start a rainbow shoes/gloves campaign. They are already planning this....take it to the bank! The pink campaign will be very jealous. Can we just get down to “playing football” for cripes sake? So glad I have kids to watch play on Sundays instead.
