    '93 Oilers had 2 openly gay players..

    .. and neither one was Tom Brady.

    “Listen, those guys that we’re talking about were unbelievable teammates. And if you wanted to go to war with someone, you would get those guys first. Because I have never seen tougher guys than those guys,” said Pro Bowl linebacker Lamar Lathon, who starred at the University of Houston. “And everybody in the locker room, the consensus knew or had an idea that things were not exactly right. But guess what? When they strapped the pads on and got on the field, man, we were going to war with these guys because they were unbelievable.”
    And then, as now, pretty much nobody gave a flip. This jabs a thumb in the eyes of both those who say that you can't have gay players in the NFL because they'd weird- out the other players in the showers and those who say that gay football players are oppressed because the other players will ostracize them.

    Nobody cares, so long as you're solid on the field. Except you, Tom Brady. You will always be made fun of. Not because you're gay, but because you're a shithead.

    No doubt one of the reasons they never beat the Steelers when it mattered.

    They coulda been "Packers" just as easily.
    / wide receivers
    // definitely not tight ends
