    Dude, I played football in high school both offense and defense (left tackle, right guard & center). I graduated in 1986, I found out years later, that my teammate, good friend, the "Star Quarterback" who everyone was calling Terry Bradshaw (he looked a little like him & threw the ball like him)...... are you ready for this Degarded Caca? He was Gay! So your point about gay men "can't" throw a football is mute.

    You apparently don't know anything about how to throw a football either, or you'd have noticed the exact same thing. Are you gay too?

    Maybe spending too much time with Barbies and not enough with a football?

    Or maybe just being too gay to know how to play football properly?

    Never feeling comfortable enough around assholes like you who play football might contribute to their lack of practice?
