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

Take away another draft pick. Shoving people around and asking inappropriate questions isn't tolerated in most workplaces. And this comes on the heels of the fake crowd noise debacle and Arthur Blank making the military pay for the color guard presentations.

Hot-garbage-lanta indeed

NFL is not a normal workplace and I really am failing to see an issue with this question. These guys get asked personal questions all the time.

Coaches putting hands on people outside the football field is a crime. Prospects at the combine would get character red flags if they did it. And these prospects are not employees of the NFL yet. They are being interviewed for jobs, and there's laws about what is not appropriate to ask the person being interviewed

Huh? Hands on ppl? I get that it is not an appropriate question in literally every other workplace but the NFL is different. I'm not up in arms like some are when ppl didn't even blink when they heard a player was asked if they found their mother attractive. Or when they asked about a players girlfriend. That's all I'm saying.

It's Atlanta. Nothing more needs to be said.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
