Seattle Seahawks: Our Player's Anti-Gay Comments Are Just His "Personal View"

Dominic Holden writes at Seattle's Slog:

It's been a week since Seattle Seahawks defensive end Chris Clemons blew up sports pages and gay blogs when he said a gay player coming out of the closet would be a "selfish act" that will "divide the team." His point was clear: The gay player rumored to be coming out soon should stay in the closet. Seattle Seahawks management has been silent. I called and e-mailed their communications office about a dozen times to ask if the team believes it would be a selfish, divisive act for a player to come out. Do they think gay people ought to stay in the closet? Or just gay football players? I finally heard back this morning. "We're not going to comment," said Seahawks spokeswoman Suzanne Lavender. "You know, it's just his personal view."
