Then we would have the greatest gay football player of all time, too?

I couldnt decided whether a Herschel/multiple personality joke would be appropriate or not

I'm pretty sure Julio Jones is. I'd still cheer for him and thank him for all he did for UA. What he chooses to do and who he does it with is none of my concern.


I could see this being true.

What if Bo Jackson, Hershel Walker, one of the Mannings, ect announced they were gay? Would it chance the way you felt about them?


I'd be pissed, b/c we need that SOB to pump out male children, and lots of 'em.

Ok buddy.

And the main thing would be constantly getting shite about it from opposing fans, which would happen no matter where you were.

Heard stories of him being DL for a while and reportedly bi in Ttown and now that he's in ATL he is full blown and doesn't keep it a secret to a lot of ppl

I really don't care that is his lifestyle and his choice, he was a phenomenal athlete for Bama and being gay doesn't change that, or the fact that he's uncoverable almost in the NFL. I actually wouldn't be surprised if he is next to come out of the closet or soon now that Collins had the courage too, like I said its not like he keeps it a secret.

I'd be surprised. Julio really doesn't like the spotlight from what I can tell. I'm sure if someone asked him, he'd say it, but I highly doubt he'd just come out. That's just not his personality

But I do think Julio is. If I was even hearing rumors about it down here (I'm not exactly in the circle of high-profile University gossip), then I think there's a lot of credibility to it.

Huh, I had never even heard rumors that he was gay. Has he been linked to one of those 4 nfl stars that are suppose to come out?

It would not bother me at all, but I can only imagine what the idiots of some fan bases would do during a game (posters, shirts, etc...), and it WOULD happen, unfortunately.

He apparently doesn't try to hide who he is as much anymore now in ATL (which has a large contingent of DL's I'm talkin guys who are married etc still getting it on with men on the side)

He is supposedly gay Ind was said (or rumored rather) to be Bisexual at Bama just never ever with a woman, then now he doesn't try to hide it nearly as much

But pretty sure he is

And does it bother me in any way? Not one bit it's his decision
