Is Greg Lougainis the most well-known male athlete to go public with his homosexuality?

 

 

I think so. Maybe Martina Navratilova.

 

And he was outed wasn't he? He didn't willingly come out of the closet did he?

Joey Votto....Oh, he hasn't come out yet. :lol:

Not so sure he's going to be drafted that early after this regardless.

 

From what I've read, this will not affect his draft status. His combine and film is what will get looked at. This will be go into the "issues" folder.

Okay, but he didn't have to hide it in the manner he did. Just say you're too focused on school and football to have a serious relationship. Go to parties mingle with coeds. Would be very easy to hide without creating a huge lie that's sole intention was to garner sympathy and publicity.

 

Can't argue with that. He's definitely messed it all up if this is actually the story.

Do you have a wife or girlfriend? Ask them and get back to me.

I polled some female co-workers. A lot of them do not know who Manti is. The ones that do DEFINITELY care about this. Everyone knew who Lance was, but only a few knew he was going to confess. None cared.

Yep, but that's only the case until he has to face questions behind closed doors regarding this. If he's as tight-lipped as he is now, good-bye early round draft pick.

@LennayKay: I will be releasing a statement, via twitter, between 11am and noon today.

When is the appropriate age to tell my son Manti Te'o's girlfriend isn't real? You know he's going to find out from other kids eventually.

Sounds like Chris Carpenter.

Do wife and girlfriends have more interest in sports than men in general?

 

We KNOW what is coming from Lance, this Te'o thing is one of the craziest stories to hit in a LONG time.

I'd say there are a few teams who have already decided to pass on him.

I think so. There was a former NBA player who came out a few years ago but he wasn't a big name

215 likes and counting in one thread? This must be a BGP record :lol:.

Were Manti's parents in on this? I recall hearing that they claimed they had met her as well.

I'm assuming he/she/it is on the west coast so that means between 2 and 3 PM?

Pretty sure we covered this but it's buried in this thread somewhere. I believe they say they were never able to meet her. Manti allegedly met her after a Stanford game and claimed to have met her in Hawaii a few times.
