It's Omar Kelly, possibly the worst writer in sports whose name isn't Florio or Shaughnessy. I'd say it is a pretty solid bet that he believes that.

Speaking of Florio! http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2013/02/26/teo-finally-gets-chance-to-focus-on-football/

Speculating about a player's sexuality. This is a man paid god knows how much to write about professional sports.

quote:

...

Brendon Ayanbadejo, the Baltimore Raven who advocates for gay marriage, appeared on MSNBC's "The Ed Show" on Wednesday night to discuss Kasa's revelation. He told the audience that a gay prospect asked about his sexual orientation should lie to protect his shot at an NFL career.

Later on Twitter, he said: "I feel like I let down my LGBT brothers and sisters on @edshow but yes selfishly I'd tell my @nfl brothers in combine to lie."

Then he tweeted: "Once you have a contract do as you please and what you are comfortable with. Fact of the matter they shouldn't even ask."

Note that he thinks the lying has to happen amid the guys in the suits, not the ones in shoulder pads. The lying has to happen when people are projecting what he will become, not yet seeing -- every day on the job -- who he really is.

And if the question is asked properly, one doesn't have to lie at all. "Do you like girls?" is a euphemism, and it licenses a player to answer earnestly, never playing the questioner's game.

The appropriate answer to "Do you like girls?" is, of course, "No, the only thing I like is football"

While Kaepernick doesn’t have to answer the question, the give-and-take of the interview-for-a-plug game typically entails the person who is being paid by a sponsor to talk providing something more meaningful than talking points prepared for the player by someone else. And it’s just a little odd that Kaepernick would have nothing to say about the reality that, regardless of whether the reported trade goes through, it’s now crystal clear that Smith won’t be on the 49ers in 2013.

Florio's take on a recent Kaepernick interview where he was plugging Michelle Obama's "Let's Play" initiative:


Kaepernick's visit to the radio show was likely scheduled well before the Smith trade and was predicated solely on talking about this philanthropic cause. Regardless of this basic fact, Florio:

• Gets mad that Kaep completely side-stepped all drama with a completely logical answer and only talked about helping kids stay active. Worthless drivel compared to the possibility of hearing one human being verbally poo poo on another, right?
  
• Implies that the "Let's Play" plug was just a handy smokescreen that shielded Kaepernick from having to tell the truth.
  
• Says its "crystal clear" that Smith is getting traded based on this interview. It was crystal clear months ago, you twat.

This has been your "gently caress Mike Florio" moment for March 1, 2013.

I've had just about enough of the media giving Kaepernick poo poo for stuff that literally nobody should care about.

Why do people give so much poo poo about what a football man does when he's not on the football field conducting football?

He often didn’t work as hard as he should have and was difficult to coach, but he overcame it because he had so much football intelligence. His offensive teammates would have marched through hell for him.
