Apparently, nobody in New Orleans is interested in talking about a big football game coming up.
So far this week, the Ravens' Ray Lewis has been questioned about performance enhancing drugs. Randy Moss, a nobody on the 49ers, is doing the "diva thing" and declaring he's the greatest wide receiver in the history of the league. And the league apparently punished officials who spoke out against the league during the lockout.
Now, Chris Culliver, the 49ers cornerback, is apparently getting ready for the big game by declaring his aversion to homosexual athletes, according to Yahoo Sports' Martin Rogers.
"I don't do the gay guys man," said Culliver, whose Niners play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. "I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.
"Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah...can't be...in the locker room man. Nah."
When quizzed by Lange whether any homosexual athletes would need to keep their sexuality a secret in football, Culliver responded: "Yeah, come out 10 years later after that."
