Jonathan Vilma Article
 
Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma is afraid a - 02-04-2014

When the writer of an article has less class and intelligence than the person they are quoting.

This article and all 100+ recreations on the internet are examples of deplorable journalism. Vilma never said he was afraid of anything, he turned the question on the interviewer and asked, how should he respond.

BTW ... Heterosexual men do not "glance" in the shower. We either face the wall, the ceiling, the floor, or make it a point to keep eye contact. LOL

Any of you ever been in a gym locker room and catch someone staring you down through a mirror? It is unnerving..... Its unnerving to be stared down when you are fully clothed as well.

I wonder if they have some kind of agenda to push?

What bothered me more than making Jon sound like a flaming homophobe, which he may or may not be, was the leap that all the Bountygate stuff was somehow all believable because Vilma indicated that having a gay teammate could create an uncomfortable atmosphere. What does one have to do with the other?

Terrible article, from the obvious agenda to poor writing technique. Just bad all the way around.

"If" he said it, he has the right to. "If "he felt uncomfortable, then he was. Why does this subject get so much attention. I know a lot of people(straight) that feel the need to tap dance when ask a question about a homesexual, last time I checked we still have" freedom of speech". As long as the person in subject is not degraded, hurt, or ridiculed it should not be an issue. Maybe Vilma don't swing that way, I know I don't.

Stop pressuring me for an answer and just leave me the Hell alone about what I think. If you want to be gay do it.
It's not like Vilma was attacking him. Piss poor article. :argue:

Ugh... This damn topic. I look at it like this: straight people need to realize that gay guys won't be running around the locker room with raging hard-on's looking to assault anyone that they can and gay people need to realize that some people just don't agree with your lifestyle. Everyone get over it. When it comes to football, support your teammate regardless and shut up!

This was probably his last year in a Saints jersey anyway.

I thought he was going to say he was afraid a trade with the Browns was in the works...

I'll be the first to admit that my views may be a little short sided and they are definitely not politically correct.

That said.

I have concerns about a society where i is acceptable to fear or ridicule a person for his religious beliefs, southern accent, political beliefs, or intelligence level; but not for sticking something in his azz or the azz of someone else.

If anyone reading this is gay, take no offense, is nothing personal. I have many friends and don't really care why their orientation is.


It seems that having the desire to stick a round hole on a round hole or rub a square peg against a square peg is something in some peoples genetic code and perfectly acceptable but wanting a bacon sandwhich and a 40oz soda is something that shouldn't be tolerated.

Well that's it. We just cannot be friends anymore.

Just kidding of course. Here, have some bacon:

I find the most intolerant people I've ever met are those that scream tolerance of their own views.

Similarly, the most close minded people I've ever met are self proclaimed open-minded liberals.

Upon clicking, searching to discover the article's source, credentials, I came to the conclusion that that's two minutes of my life I'll never get back...

I love Vilma for standing up to Roger, but he sure sounded daft in that article. Of course, a lot of it could have been the interviewer. He's a Saint, he gets the benefit of the doubt.

He sounded much better on AC 360. However, when the interview told him "you've showered literally with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of men" I got the giggles. I mean, what is journalism coming to??

+10000. And why do some straight people automatically assume that a gay person would be attracted to them? There are plenty of women that I could see naked in the shower and not be attracted to. Get over it and just let people be who they are. We don't have to be afraid of everyone who is different than we are. And if someone is that uncomfortable with being in the shower with someone who is gay they can shower in a stall.
