Think about it, there are some stupid defective personalities in they NFL.

This and all the questioning during the combine are about finding a mental weakness. Te'o sexual preference is not a concern of the team, his pretending to have a girlfriend for a long period of time is..... The coaches know that Te'o plays the position that is typically the leader of the defense and he has to be trusted 100%, and his team mates can not perceive any weakness.

The coaches asked Te'o that because they knew the players would ask him that directly and how he would answer is what would define his place on a team full of Alfa males.

If asked Abe he replays with "I sure am and don't turn around or ill team you" he will be fine. If he looks scared or starts to crawfish when asked he is weak and won't last.

I don't buy that.

A suit asking you questions and a dude calling you names in the locker room are 2 different things. The suit, he's a prospective employer and you are going to BS him whether he asks you if you are a peanut popper or if you smoke crack. The dude in the locker room you punch in the mouth, even if the question doesn't bother you, just to show you are alpha.

I am pretty sure the great majority of players interviewed during the combine (if any at all) have never been in that setting, i.e., being interviewed to that degree by a suit in an office, but all of them have been in locker rooms, played in front of large crowds, been called names by opposing fans, etc...
