Are 2008 Superbowl Contenders The NY Giants Hiding Gays In Their Locker Room? - Page 2
"One NFL star told me at least 15 percent of players in the NFL league are, and another 20 percent are bi. Interestingly, he said the NY Giants, who are in this year’s super bowl, have at least a half dozen players who are gay."
When I asked Ian how he came upon this information, he explained:
"Basically, I was explaining to the reporter that during my time at COS [Church of Scientology] I discovered that COS was not the only entertainment or well known entity that was homophobia. I learned this after talking to an NFL star at a big Hollywood party I was invited to while I was undercover."
Well, I'll chalk this one up as a "wait and see" whether it pans out as being accurate. But you can also look at it this way, if 1 in 10 men taken from any random sample are designated as being gay, or in other words 10% of the population and there are 74 registered players on the NYGiants roster, that's 7.4 gay football players on the Giants alone. Not sure about that .4% guy. Maybe he's just confused.
As an aside, I don't think being "macho" and "gay" are mutually exclusive. Men are men any way you slice it. You can have effeminate gays and very "butch" gays. There's no rule which states being gay equates to not liking football. Gay people are just people who have a defined sexual orientation as being attracted to the same sex. This does not mean however, they can't also like watching dudes pound each other in the dirt. In fact, I'd think that could be kind of appealing to anyone, regardless of their preferences.
To be fair, I contacted the Giants home office in East Rutherford, NJ and would like to give them an opportunity to speak to the veracity of this statement. I will post any updates or statements from their public relations people.
