What does asking someone of their sexuality or about their mothers prove? are people that dense that they dont understand why these questions are asked? TO GAUGE THEIR REACTION, DO THEY FREAK OUT ON THE ASKER? DO THEY KEEP THEIR COMPOSITION WHEN PRESSED ON A SENSITIVE SUBJECT? Jesus people, really?

If you can't do the former without the latter, like I said you need to get out more. Why? Do you know how many racist letters Bills players get from Bills fans. Fans are the problem, not the questions being asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has nothing to do with anything. So would I and then I'd absolutely name and shame who it was who asked as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have flunked the test for maintaining one's composure under pressure. I asked a simple question about which state was involved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I wonder if they ask about religion? I don't know how it works legally, but this isn't technically a job interview since they are not offering a job afterwards... I assume there would be a different regulations. As far as the players go, I'm not sure why this is upsetting? You either are and it's a secret (which is why they're asking, because secrets are, as a rule, not great), or you are and it's not a secret, in which case who cares, or you aren't and it doesn't matter. I don't know why a player feels like this is more an invasion of privacy than any other question asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Now Moment Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I would tell them to not draft me and walk out. What they do with their lives is their business not the NFL teams or the fans. Not okay at all. Disgusted that some fans think that is fine. Get your nose out of other people's lives. The media needs to do the same and let the players live without a spotlight on their heads 24/7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has nothing to do with anything. I actually disagree... I think it has quite a bit to do with team dynamic, media coverage, overall personality, etc... Whether or not it's ethical, I definitely see why teams ask the question. Look at what happened with Michael Sam. It was a media circus. Imagine as a team you invest a 1st round pick in a guy and then that comes out and you have a huge distraction to deal with. I think the reason it's easy to say "how dare they ask that question" is because we assume they're asking due to their own personal bias (which could be the case), as opposed to asking in order to know all the angles of a person who they have to give an honest evaluation of. I'm not saying these two examples are the same, but imagine if they were to ask Jameis Winston about the rape accusation. We wouldn't think that was out of line because it is something that they potentially have to deal with later. The same is here (minus the negativity and criminality of course), they're covering bases as it is their job to do so. Just like I am sure Josh Rosen was asked all about his rich family.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) IIRC, the Falcons were reprimanded for asking another player if he liked men during a previous combine interview. Edited March 8, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
