Atlanta Falcons asked potential first round pick CB Eli Apple if he was gay

[Peppers90 NC]

Doesn't Ryan date a dude?

[maddog1945]

Is that a requirement in Atlanta?

[TheMaulClaw]

Atlanta Falcons: You gay Eli?

Eli Apple: No.

Atlanta Falcons:  Guess we can't draft you then.  So close.

[arbnranger]

You gay, bro ?

[tiger7_88]

I wonder if he's gay and poo?

Bruh?

I don't think sexual orientation is illegal to ask.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if the Falcants had to forfeit yet another draft pick for doing sketchy stuff

Who cares? Can't say I want queers on my team either *lmao* waits for poo storm to ensue.

You aren't on a team.

If he is there at 30 I'd take him on the Panthers

This is especially rich considering Atlanta is the gay capitol of the south. I don't mean that as a joke or insult whatsoever, it's a simple fact. In fact The Advocate magazine named Atlanta the gayest city in America in 2010. You can read about that on atlanta.net

edit: oh I see that by 'that's how it is down here' he meant that it was gay down there. Not anti-gay. That doesn't make it especially rich, as previous stated.

He should have said "yes",  then told the coach how attractive he is and asked him for coffee after the interview has finished - purely to screw with them and play along with the "joke" question the player thought coach was asking. Im sure the coaches reaction would have been priceless! 

That said, I'm not surprised someone has asked this question. They've been told not to, but it's hardly surprising to see some team ask it...

I think that depends on what state one is in.

Quote

Federal law does not explicitly prohibit workplace discrimination on the basis of one's actual or perceived sexual orientation or identity. Some states have designated lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) individuals as a protected class entitled to legal recourse when they experience workplace bias. Even in states that have not introduced legislation of this kind those experiencing discrimination or harassment may still be other legal remedies available to them.

Of course, the NFL is very public relations aware these days, so its likely they will reprimand the coach, but it may or may not be illegal.

I am for whatever penalizes the Falcants, and this could. I hope the fine state of Indiana has these laws on the books, and the NFL proceeds to throw that book at the Falcants. Thank you for your time. remember to vote early and, more importantly, often.

They can ask whatever they want to him. And he can tell them whatever he wants. It isn't a job interview and he can just say no and they move on. Of course I might ask if you ask everyone that or just me? And if just me then why,?
