Guest josephga Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 NEW ORLEANS – San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver has reportedly made inflammatory comments regarding homosexuality in football just a few days before Super Bowl XLVII. Shock jock Artie Lange revealed he had interviewed Culliver at media dayTuesday and aired a segment on his show that night, where the playerinsisted that any gay players would not be welcome on the team. "I don't do the gay guys man," said Culliver, whose Niners play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. "I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do. "Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah…can't be…in the locker room man. Nah." When quizzed by Lange whether any homosexual athletes would need to keeptheir sexuality a secret in football, Culliver responded: "Yeah, comeout 10 years later after that."

Members MsGuy Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 Ok, so he majored in "sport and entertainment management" at South Carolina. "Sport management", is that what they call basket weaving now-a-days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rimchair Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 And now the apology, surely not written by Culliver! And here is a statement released Wednesday afternoon by Culliver: “The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel. It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, my post got in incorporated into rimchair's post, and I can't figure out how to edit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Sport management", is that what they call basket weaving now-a-days? Hardly. In basket weaving you would at least have to show up for class: http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/20/unc-report-not-an-athletic-scandal-it-was-an-academic-one/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rimchair Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I am beginning to think Culliver is a true cretin: ""Chris Culliver, the 49ers player who bashed gays as his team prepared to play in the Super Bowl, posted a photo to his 30,000 Instagram users last night of a conversation referring to women as “bitch” and “hoes.”"" http://blog.sfgate.com/hottopics/2013/04/18/49ers-culliver-posts-to-30000-instagram-followers-pic-including-words-bitch-and-hoes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
