Few years ago I went to Friday night lights and someone next to me had the image for him to sign. It tore Ovie up. He was done. It was an ass thing to do for sure.

Confirmed or not, it happened and its out there.

Still he was an awesome player. Just under utilized.

Haha really?

Yea. I took a picture of it and posted it before.

I'd have to find it again cuz I thought it was awesome.

I mean, when they are examining players to play millions to (the ultimate job interview) and have doctors check every inch of their body (even finding narrowed spines), why can't they ask about sexual orientation? Isn't it also a medical necessity? Don't blood banks ask when you donate? Don't pre-surgery forms ask about sexual history?

I mean, if a team has to know every fact, it's relevant.

The problem is that it is against the law.
