    N.F.L. Asked to Explain Teams’ Combine Questions

    N.F.L. Asked to Explain Teams’ Combine Questions

    The N.F.L. will meet with members of the New York attorney general’s office Tuesday to explain its investigation into why players at the scouting combine in February were asked questions that may have pertained to sexual orientation, like “Do you like girls?”

    The N.F.L.’s investigation — which began after a handful of players said in interviews that they were asked questions during interviews with teams at the combine — concluded that the question was part of what its top human resources executive Robert Gulliver said was “chatter that was inappropriate,” but that it did not violate a specific policy and that no teams would be punished.

    During the investigation, the league said, players could not recall the specifics of the questions – they were apparently asked when players met with many teams for quick interviews.

    What in God's green Earth are they asking the players in these interviews?

    So someone probably asked Te'o if he was gay. How shocking. Yawn.


    ... wait - I forgot, this is Shithead America, so instead of yawn we have to go heretofore and whenceforth the contractual equity violation wherefore with prejudicial intent we did admonish ... well, you get the point.
    See you Space Cowboy ...

    The NFL is like any other business. Some questions you legally CAN'T ask a potential employee; marital status, children, religion, political preferences, etc. Sounds stupid, but the first time a player says he's an atheist and the devoutly Catholic owner drops him the league would be looking at a huge lawsuit.
