The pre-Superbowl drama is on full throttle as folks are extra pissy about San Francisco 49er Chris Culliver's anti-gay comments that were said on media day. Check out how his team responded this evening, plus some NFL players singing their fave Beyonce songs...
Cornerback Chris Culliver...yeah, the dude pictured above...is against having gay men on his team. And in the NFL period.
The two Superbowl teams did their press day yesterday in New Orleans. And there's always at least one person who's going to say some ignorant ish.
This brings us to Chris Culliver, who went on an anti-gay tirade, that he though was pretty comical, while chatting it up with shoc jock Artie Lang.
"I don't do the gay guys man,"Culliver said. "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."
He then proceeded to pretty much say gays don't belong in the league at all, and should only "come out" after leaving for 10 years. Check out the audio below:
And after all of the internet was up in arms today after these words surfaced, the 49ers organization quickly put out its own statement condemning the comments:
“The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made yesterday, and have addressed the matter with Chris. There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community.”
How many loud boo's is HE gonna get on Sunday?
And in more lighthearted NFL news, NFL.com posted a cute video today of the players talking about (and singing) their favorite Beyonce songs while expressing their fan-dom. It was all a nod to Mrs. BKC rocking the Pepsi Halftime show on Sunday. Peep the vid above.
