NFL closes investigation into Scouting Combine "Gay" questions

[joeybee12]

To little fanfare and no surprise, the NFL officially has closed the books on the investigation that was sparked by accounts of inappropriate questions being posed to incoming rookies (also known as “job applicants”) at the Scouting Combine.

According to Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com, the NFL found no wrongdoing.

“Our review has not established any specific violations, but we have made it clear to our clubs what is acceptable when interviewing potential players and other job candidates,” a league spokesman told Freeman.

So is the NFL saying that Colorado tight end Nick Kasa wasn’t asked, “Do you like girls?” No. As Judy Battista of the New York Times reported two weeks ago, the NFL has concluded that this specific question wasn’t part of the job interview. Even though it was asked during, you know, a job interview.

In no other industry would a question like this be unpunished. But that’s largely because the NFL is one of the few industries in which a question like this will lead to no liability.

With such Asshats conducting this, of course they'd find nothing wrong.

2. The Chris Culliver incident proved what the league and team owners think about gay Americans

When Culliver went largely unpunished, the bigotry of the league became clear to anyone paying attention. Professional American sports will be on the very last bastions of anti-gay bigotry. That rumored player won't be coming out any time soon, either.
