National Football League finds a way to show its ass at least once a week. And this is one of the worst in recent weeks. An NFL team asked first-round prospect Derrius Guice if he ‘liked men’ during his NFL Combine questions. That’s appalling. ALmost all jobs in America cannot ask you about your sexual orenination. That’s no one’s business but the person who is interviewing for the job. The fact someone thought it was okay to bring that up in conversation is depressing and a terrible backwards step for the league. NFL has a long way to go in the category of Gay Rights compared to the other leagues around the league.

The NFL appears to be a place where they would like their athletes to stay in the closet. That’s a terrible look. Michael Sam feels like ions ago, and it appears the league would like you to forget it ever happened. They’ve done nothing to promote the LGBTQ community over the last few years. Look at what NBA does with Pride Night’s across the country as the Milwaukee Bucks had one last Friday. Major League Baseball is becoming more inclusive, and more teams including the Brewers are having a Pride Night this season. NHL created a whole campaign called ‘You Can Play Project’ and had a month supporting ‘Hockey is for Everyone’ highlighting issues that the LGBTQ community faces as athletes. The fact the NFL has absolutely nothing to show for in this category is an embarrassment beyond belief.

Hope we find out what team asked this question. Not because we want to shame them on Twitter, but rather, find out why they asked such a question, and how can they work on their apparent homophobic issues. This is something the league needs to get out in front of and start applying some action. The NFL trying to grow and foster the LGBTQ community should begin right now.
