theres a thing called lying, I'm sure you've heard of that. Even if Fisher is actually trying to be nice this kid will not do well anyway. He's an experienced with media NFL coach. He knows how to sell bullcrap.
its not bigotry in any way,shape or form to hate the act of so called gay sex. His being gay wont be the reason he will fail. He will fail because he's inferior in talent but admitting your gay just gave every other player fighting for a job extra motivation to pound him on the turf every chance they get because no football player wants a gay guy taking his spot on the team.
that's not a bigoted view, that's just a true observation of how its going down
