LSU football star asked if he likes men & if his mother is a prostitute at NFL combine

Source: LGBTQ Nation




By Jeff Taylor · Thursday, March 8, 2018

It seems the National Football League (NFL) still hasn’t learned its lesson about asking players about their sexual orientation.

Running back Derrius Guice, a former LSU Tigers standout, said in an interview Wednesday with SiriusXM’s NFL Radio that a team asked him at the Scouting Combine if he likes men. NBC Sports has confirmed through a source that the question was indeed asked. It is unclear which team asked the question.




“It was pretty crazy,” Guice said on Late Hits. “Some people are really trying to get in your head and test your reaction.”

NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy told USA Today the league is “looking into the matter.”

From what I've heard they tend to throw trick questions or riddles to see if you can think fast AND they try to rattle you to see if you can keep your cool. Not defending it, just explaining what I understand.

Unadulterated anachronism!

It'll never change without 'sensitivity training' and new sets of etiquette in the football/male sports culture.

They're still working on "stop targeting his f**king head!"

Baby steps!

Sorry I couldn't resist.

That line of question is extremely inappropriate.
