    No they did not, they are expressing opinions on twitter as private persons. That is how players use twitter.

    I wonder if goodell/nfl could just get twitter banned from nfl players. I know some use it for good and it's a great promotional tool, but the bad has to outweigh the good right? Every single hot button issue seems to be followed by some idiot mouthing off on twitter. The nfl should just make them all delete their accounts as part of the league rules.

    It'd hurt their freedoms I guess but somehow I doubt anyone quits the nfl over it.

    I'm 100% pro gay rights across the board, but if I get squimish watching two guys kiss does that mean I'm anti-gay? Of course I try to keep that to myself.

    I don't have an opinion on the PDA other than the MASSIVE BALLS it takes to do that before walking into the most homophobic and violent sports organization on the planet

    Actually your opinion means little to me.


    Another question, if a gay person finds it repulsive that a man and woman kissing like one gay friend of mine tells me all the time...what does that make them?

    And to be quite honest unless it's a quick kiss on the lips I find any kind of people making out in public gross...maybe I'm just a prude

    You're not alone in thinking that way. The "get a room" reaction kicks in.
    But in Michael Sam's case, it was an excited reaction. It wasn't making out in public.

    I was in East Greenwich in NYC yesterday and being a nice day and I saw both gay and straight couples showing signs of affection short of making out and thought nothing of it, if I saw any of them making out it would have made me look away the only difference is with the straight couple I be jealous of the dude because he is getting action while I'm holding my dick...

    But if it was a couple of girls kissing it admittedly might take me a bit longer to look away.

    Could care less about someones sexual habits, I'm interested in how good he can perform at the position he claims to be good at so prove it and take over your spot on the team otherwise it's all just been for attention.

    Sure but that doesn't mean you still have to do that.

    How about being known for being a good football player first?

    Since when did one groups rights start to outweigh the rights of others? People have just as much right to react negative towards homosexuality as those that have the right to practice it. Just as people should not have to befriend, employ, or support the ideas of those that believe its wrong, it works both ways. Why does an idea of acceptance have to be more important than the idea of disapproval?

    If someone calls you an ***-hole for disapproving of something gay people do, your rights have not been abridged in the slightest bit.

    Yeah. I saw him kiss his boyfriend after the call and it was no big deal. Then I saw the cakey kiss and asked myself, "Would this be gross if it were a heterosexual couple?".The answer is yes. But I'm a hypocrite, because I really enjoy cake farts.

    Saw it, shocked me a bit. Not that I find it "repulsive" but if you see a million hetero kisses you are conditioned from any response really. It was just abrupt, since I was watched it at the hospital with no sound, so I had no idea it was even Sam until the kiss. I thought he was going to go undrafted actually.

    No it doesn't. Let me ask you if you watch straight porn are you a bigot if you don't watch gay porn and I mean man on man? The key to this question is if you are fine with straight porn, if you fine ALL porn repulsive then no need to answer.

    But people like you want to control everything including our own human emotions, its a frightening joke.

    hmm wondering why the Miami Dolphins then ordered them to take them down -- certainly wasnt because the brainiacs who put them up suddenly grew a conscience....

    And why am im i not surprised you support people who have a lack of common sense and judgement - I mean really, would you want someone calling you ugly or gross on social media or to your face -

    such a double standard with the bigotry -

    You see men kissing men and you're horrified and you think disgusting how can that be normal.
    You see two woman kissing and well, well, you cant turn away and you're looking for your zipper.

    So silly, if people would just keep their opinions to themselves instead of blasting it all over for everyone to see, there would be no problem. Yes, you're free to say what you want, but think first then speak.

    That's tough when one of the team's leaders is so stupid he doesn't realize why a comment about his upcoming rookie hazing plans is a terrible idea. Hopefully the team can be purged of these idiots over the next couple of seasons. I'm sure we can find a center who is competent and has a brain in his head.

    Correct. The same care you have to exercise before you push the send button of your e-mail client. Especially if you work for an organization.

    But I have to agree with Ronnie about the two women. It's very erotic for a man to see a woman turned on. Seeing two women turned on is twice as erotic. Not the same for a woman, I guess. ;-)

    Who said Don Jones didn't have the right to say what he did?

    He can say whatever he wants and society can ostracize him if they choose to do so.

    That doesn't make any sense as a comparison.

    If you've got the kind of emotional investment where you need to make a very public showing of your feelings, it's bigotry. If he was private annoyed, that's a different deal.

    It has all to do with sexual preferences, I would like to think I can have my own without some people labeling me because I don't think a certain way, its what makes us humans is the fact we are different, what will make us inhuman when we are controlled to feel one way.

    Sure it does, according to Stringer the fact I'm more grossed out - even if I keep it to myself - more by men kissing than any other couple kissing, say boy on girl or girl on girl makes me a bigot, well where does it end? If someone thinks that bigotry but watches straight porn but finds gay porn disgusting to watch then under the logic they set that's bigotry.

    Personally this is a non-story.

    A man had a view and used a forum available to him and said it. His employer will now hand down consequences. It is what it is. Don Jones can now decide whether his views are strong enough to make him continue to speak out, or he will be quieted. It's normal due process. Move along.

    oh i agree- except im not sure anyone is really turned on by two men kissing - except maybe gay men - All im saying is keep your opinions to yourself or within your group of friends - dont blast it all over the internet -

    I mean honestly, if you're so dismayed and grossed out by men kissing that you have to take to twitter to tell the whole world, then really you are the problem with society.

    I agree - except that i want our players - the people who represent our team - or even in the real world the people who represent the place i work at - to use common sense and judgement - You can be grossed out/indifferent/or turned on by it, i dont care - but, please, think about the consequences of your actions.
