NEW ORLEANS – Just days before the San Francisco 49ers will take to the field In New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII, cornerback Chris Culliver on Tuesday said that a gay player would not be welcome on the team.
Appearing on the Artie Lange show Tuesday, Culliver, responding to a question by Lange if there are any gay players on the team, said:
Chris Culliver
“I don’t do the gay guys man,” responded Culliver. “I don’t do that. No, we don’t got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.”“Can’t be with that sweet stuff. Nah…can’t be…in the locker room man. Nah.”
When asked by Lange whether any homosexual athletes would need to keep their sexuality a secret in professional football, Culliver responded: “Yeah, come out 10 years later after that.”

“Chris Culliver’s comments represent the height of ignorance and the type of homophobic banter that professional athletes rarely use anymore,” said HRC Vice President of Communications Fred Sainz, in a statement Wednesday.
“Chris Culliver’s irrational rant against LGBT people is reprehensible … Culliver should recognize how far most of his fellow athletes have come on this issue and apologize immediately,” said Sainz.
The 49ers face off Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, whose linebacker, Brendon Ayanbadejo, has been one of the most prominent voices in the NFL advocating for LGBT equality, donating a good deal of his time to the recent successful campaign for marriage equality in Maryland.Chris Kluwe, of the Minnesota Vikings, is another NFL player who has spoken out frequently for LGBT Americans.
In addition to facing off against Ayanbadejo, Culliver’s comments also may not sit well with many of his own teammates on the 49ers. The 49ers were the first NFL team to film an ‘It Gets Better’ video aimed at LGBT youth.
Earlier this week, former 49ers offensive lineman Kwame Harris appeared in court regarding felony domestic charges in the alleged beating of an ex-boyfriend. Harris’ sexual orientation was never divulged during his playing career with the 49ers (2003-07) or Raiders (2008).
Update:
The 49ers released this statement on Wednesday regarding Culliver’s remarks:
“The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made [Tuesday], and have addressed the matter with Chris. There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community.”
So far, there has been no statement, retraction or apology from Culliver.
Update 2:
Culliver has released this statement:
“The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel. It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience.”
Update 3:
“Chris is very apologetic for any harm caused to anyone,” said Theodore Palmer, Culliver’s personal public relations representative, in a telephone interview with Associated Press. “His intent was not that at all. He is one who celebrates the differences of others. All of this was just a big mistake. It was interpreted wrong.”

Ignorance.
It’s always about the locker room….get a life Culliver and an education, while you’re at it.
Not only ignorant but illiterate too.
he probably played with some and didn’t even know it. LOL All those men showering in an open shower? Did he ever think that he was being eyed up all that time he’s played all the way back to high school even? LOL
they don’t got no idiot people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.
ignorant and homophobic and intolerant. this makes me sick
What an ignorant ass!!
homophic
Well, that ruined my cheering for the 49ers
Wow that’s terrible
Wake up Culliver THIS is the 21st CENTURY.
Ignorant 49′ers don’t deserve to win the Super Bowl.
What a douchebag. The ones lipping off are usually the closet cases anyway. What do you want to bet he gets busted with a tranny hooker or rent-boy??
That’s so weird considering his own coach said they’d welcome a gay player on the team
well, I was gonna root for the Niners… but not now
can you say CLOSET CASE?
She better be wearin her running pumps if she wants to go out on the town after they are sent packing back to San Francisco, you know…one of the GAY MECCAS of the world….Some of my sisters I saw at the bars while I was there could probably thrash his loser ass!!
“Don’t got no” Yeah, he’s really educated.
i hope the 49ers loose and Brendon Ayanbadejo targets Culliver big time
I think he has forgotten what city he plays for. San Francisco is a mecca for gays and lesbians.
wow that’s someone we want our children looking up to…. NOT
GO RAVENS!
It is always funny that the homophobes who are so afraid a gay guy might be checking them out are usually not very attractive to begin with and really have nothing to worry about at all if that is their basis for their homophobia.
Drug addicts, wife beaters, all sorts of cheats welcome. Gay players, not. Interesting
IGNORANT! Looks, sound mentally familiar!!!
Bet he is another closet homo!
I bet he takes it in the ass for .50 cents.
The 49ers have come out in support of LGBT youth and players. Culliver is just one more ignorant and/or homophobic person who makes a lot of noise because he is a “celebrity.” I considered using the word “professional,” but I don’t believe it is appropriate in this case.
Chris Culliver has got to go….Yea he is insecure …would not be surprised if he has had a few gay flings…
How much did you get paid to say that?
He should stick to what he knows, speaking coherently is obviously not one of his strengths. Foolish idiot, he is.
Another bigoted loser. Little does he know he’s got gay teammates. BAAAAHAHAHAHA!
Lol guy needs to grow up
Then get your homophobic ass out of SF!
He’s not even good enough to be a starter!
Homophobe alert…nah I doubt that’s much of a shock with him…
Go ravens
sf big gay city i wonder what will do when have gay kids
What an ignorant FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Well he just lost my respect, and I was hoping they’d win too…
Frigging keep that to yourself. This is not the time especially to say something hateful and STUPID like that. I would bet you that there is AT LEAST one or two gay players on every team. Why should they offer that up??? They may after they stop playing but otherwise they are a target for idiots like Culliver. I am a huge Niners fan but I do not like him anymore. Trade his bigoted ass.
I would like to know if he’s being penalized for his comments? It’s so sad to hear a San Francisco 49ers talk like this :-(
He has probably been attracted to men (may still be). Men who have no problem with gay people don’t say things like that. Those that do get aroused when shown gay male porn.
Douche!
Who is this guy ?! Lol never heard of him way to gain 15 mins fame benchwarmer
Who gives a crap what he thinks.
I will not be cheering for the 49er’s this year…
This will not go down well in SF.
Ass
“I don’t do the gay guys…” Nobody’s asking you to DO anything or anybody except keep your ignorance to yourself. I can’t imagine the Niners not doing something about this.
Ignorant idiot. Grow the fuck up. Oh yeah, hes on the DL!
Let him transfer to Detroit, then. He’d feel right at home, with Michigan being extremely anti-LGBT.
just read an article earlier about the owners going to a bar in the Castro to drum up interest in the team—fell it is necessary to put a curse on the 49′ers especially since they are going for #6 and I am from Pittsburgh—may the sweat of a thousand camel drivers get in their eyes and effect their play. Go Ravens!!
How unenlightened. Sanction him, and dock his pay!
Chris Culliver is unChristian; he shouldn’t be a 49er!
He is gay and repressed
Boy Scouts of America is holding a poll that will directly affect whether or not they will allow all members regardless of their sexual orientation.
Please call 972-580-2330. A representative will pick up and ask if you are FOR or AGAINST their policy change. The proposed policy change will open Scouting to ALL young men. A vote for ‘FOR’ is a vote for Equality!
I called and spoke on behalf of equality! Now its your turn! It took me only 2 minutes!
Share this number! The opposition will be calling as well. Let’s send a strong message to today’s youth that it does get better!
Ass
He looks DL
Chris culliver can kiss my ass. Then he can pull his stilettos out of his closet.
who ta fuck made HIM lord and master??? He’s a loser
Shame, Mr. Culliver, shame.
He honestly thinks that he speaks for the majority of his teammates, when, in fact, they’d probably side with the gay player because this one here sounds dumb as a box of rocks!!
Obviously this moron missed the memo where his team did the It’s Gets Better Campaign video
Your entitled to your own personal opinion about gays in professional sports and this is exactly what it was! My opinion is this guy is a First class A**hole and as much as I would like to see him not play for what he said we still have freedom of speech. Just wish someone would remind him that this country once felt the same way about drinking out of a water fountain or sharing a locker room with someone with a different skin color
He can have his own opinion but never discriminate. Who the hell is he to tell gays they can’t join. There’s many closeted ones right now. If he’s really secure in his sexuality, it wouldn’t bother him so much.
I may or may not hope something really bad happens to him.
He can kiss my ass. His ancestors struggled oppression because of prejudice. Now here he is with his spoiled self talking shit. I bet he’s a close homo.
49 ers are still my team. I will not judge the team on one asses opinion. He needs to wake up!
Being such a homophobic bigot, he probably should not be living or playing in San Francisco.
I can remember when “no negroes ” were allowed!
He’s a double-threat:
HOMOPHOBEBONICAL!
Tad bit homophobic are you???
He plays in SF? His car is going to get Rainbowed!!
LOL, somebody got a spanking….but it’s not enough.
I hope that “GLITTER BOMB” his ass.
your gay as they come you homophobia..you should NOT BE ALLOWED to play.. get a nut sack, it’s 2013 ass..
Ignorant piece of shit
Ooooooo, a three sentence press release. Well, that solves everything.
why am i not surprised by this
Can he spell civil rights? These players he does not welcome have the same civil rights as he has. What an idiot.
GO RAVENS!!!
Somebody isn’t sure how to feel about showering with other men…
But they always give a love pat on each others asses ALL the time. I used to think they were all gay as a kid lol
GO RAVENS!!!!!
So um yeah thats an ass if u dont kno one, and thats a good way to lose fans
smh at his ignorance
wow, welcome to the 21st cent Chris, ridiculous, you cant blame people for how they feel, but you definitely can blame them for how they act and what they say, didn’t your mom ever tell you if you have nothing nice to say then dont say anything at all??
Wasn’t all that long ago that he wouldn’t have been “welcome” to play on that team either.
How sad an individual that young children look up to as a sports role model is so full of ignorance, hatred, prejudice & bigotry.
How sad an individual that young children look up to as a sports role model is so full of ignorance, hatred, prejudice & bigotry.
We don’t want black uneducated people in the NFL. fucking looser.
Yeah… I wouldn’t “do” you either.
I got only one question:
Who?
It’s like, I know the 49ers, but I’ve never heard of this man. Pretty sure he’s a rookie. Not a very smart rookie. If they’re gonna let a rookie speak for the team, they should probably just let Kaepernick do it.
Another closet case…
he should be benched…
I hope he realizes that even to this day, there are individuals who say very similar things about his race. He would be very offended, and rightly so. Please do grow up, sir.
He’s probably gay
The 49ers can apologize all they want but what really needs to be done is reprimand Culliver for what he said, like pull him out & not play in the Super Bowl and/or pay a fine that the money goes to the LGBTQ Nation….SOMETHING should be done instead of a slap on the wrist! Just saying.
I wrote a few nice comments on the 49′s page…he represent all of his team and tarnish them all by his ignorance..
Toss him out of the game
Poor guy. Ignorance runs rampant through his veins……ABSOLUTELY GO RAVENS!!!
You just lost a lot ocf fans…..T oo bad you opened your big mouth.
You’d think gay guys might like football though. Lotta half naked guys in the changing room… Yet people see it as pretty macho! :P
Until he is pulled out protest all Sponsored Product on Super Bowl Sunday . Whoever is advertising , the advertisers Must say something.
because tackling beefy men, then slapping them on their asses, then showering with them… ISN’T GAY AT ALL
way to go dipshit
Who cares? Did anyone notice Culliver’s atrocious grammar? It’s pretty easy to tell that he is a dumbass with the education level of a 2nd grader, maybe. In a few years he’ll be bankrupt because he’s too stupid to manage his money properly and nobody will even remember who this guy is.
Make the dumbass watch the game from the locker room.
I agree Eddie, and Ed :)
I agree with all of the above and everything after. What a dumb ass!!!! AND he’ll have too many head injuries to remember where he lives. That’s how he’s going to end up homeless.
Ignorant mofo
Their coach, John Harbaugh, is on record with the opposing position saying he would welcome gay players.
WHat a doofus.
He should be so lucky as to have the LGBT members support him. We move mountains!
Don’t hold one players ignorance and stupidy against the rest of a great team… I support the 49′rs.. But being a lesbian this “man” can just go fly a kite.. I won’t be watching him Sunday… Just the real MEN
one players ignorance shows administration issues. the managment wants ignorant people representing them..come on go ravens!
Guarenteed if I was on ANY team that was playing against him he’d be buried FACE FIRST in the turf.
Asshole
I’ve always loved that old Quote. Something like….”me thinks thou doth protest too much”. Calm down Dude, you don’t want to give yourself away…wait 10 years. lol
3rd round pick in 2011. 2nd year player. NOT a starter.
Bet his nappy ass gets traded or released.
I say we spread this info and boycott anything related to the 49ers’ Show him where his ignorance and hate gets him!
nevermind read the update.
You know I’m a 49er’s fan, but goes to show his high school english class didn’t help, thank God football did.
That’s not really fair…the team DID make an “It Gets Better” video, and his own teammates are unhappy with him. Don’t punish all of them.
A homophobic black guy? WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!
“The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made [Tuesday], and have addressed the matter with Chris. There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community.”
GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only an idiot and homophobe but where did he learn to speak English…..
Uh oh Tara Tien switching teams. Not literally tho ;P
This is unbelievably ignorant and disgusting.
Boycott! DO something !
Well duh….lol
Closet case.
Well, I could have sworn he was thinking in his toes!
wat a bastard keep ur thoughts to youself asshole
No shit, you ignorant sumvabitch!
He can take his apology and stick it
Fuck that asshole.
if it was an apolology
I bet his ego is the same amount of money he makes a month.
we should all tweet this asshole. lol
What an idiot. Is that how he really speaks? Not the gay stuff but, the Nah, and sweet stuff, get up out a here.. He needs to go back to school and learn how to speak.. This is what happens when dumb jocks get paid a lot of money and have a 5th grade education.. Pathetic.
Reflect on this, YOU SUCK!
That’s an apology?
So hes saying that he meant what he said, right? Is that supposed to be an apology?
from his articulation, I thought he was talking out of his ass
I think his other head enjoys the locker room showers too much.
Yep. We’re stupid. We can’t see the badly worded sentence structure of your hatred change into an informed apologetic piece seemingly written by a differen’t person, perhaps someone who wasn’t knocked in the head during college
i tweeted a link to the 49ers “it gets better” video to him. ha
bullshit – he has no thoughts in his head. What an asshat!
to him ya an apology but publicly hes just tryin to say the alphabet with his 2nd gd education
humm he proly got caught fucking a guyinthe locker room
HE IS GAY!!!! No reason for a secure heterosexual male to be saying that. He is a closeted QUEEN!!!
I think this guy has been knocked in the head…just a bit too much LOL
“thoughts in my head” as opposed to thoughts from what other body part?
What a lovely manager he has. Writing all that up for him ‘n such. xo
Unexceptable
whio says he is no gay him self ou no thoese who deny who they are really parent they are gay them selfs
trashy wannabe jock
gee… aren’t the thoughts in your pea brain the way you feel asshole? closet homo. guess what.. OUR TEAM DOESNT WANT YOUR ASS !
@Chrisculliver29 <— his twitter handle if anyone wants to tell him what the thoughts in their head are.
he is just trying to keep his job
i call bullshit on “his” response….. messy, runny bullshit
… Coulda-SWORN-they came OUT-his-ASS!?!
Oh whatever….he is just trying to do damage control now…what he said was just how he felt….POS
While players on The Ravens are trying to end the way gay players are treated
Go Ravems!
bullsh**
asshole
Yeah. . We will see.
“My thoughts are not my feelings.” Really???
An apology from a bigot still makes him a bigot.
Not surprising. Obviously this man is beyond ignorance. This was a hateful, uneducated rant of a complete asshole!! This man has no place in the 49er legacy. Dump his ass Mr. York.
Apology not excepted….because it was not sincere or genuine.
I WAS rooting for the Niners. LETS GO RAVENS!!!!!!!
http://blog.sfgate.com/49ers/2013/01/30/what-other-49ers-say-about-having-a-gay-teammate/
What he said-Jay DiMase Yep. We’re stupid. We can’t see the badly worded sentence structure of your hatred change into an informed apologetic piece seemingly written by a differen’t person, perhaps someone who wasn’t knocked in the head during college
…in other news, my ability to play football is directly correlated to how well I play football.
BULLSHIT!, since there has been a backlash, he feels compelled to Apoligize.
The man is an asshole and illiterate. On his twitter feed he is worried about “dieing” without money. The thoughts in his head are not how he feels? Bullshit. The NFL should suspend him and prevent him from playing in Sunday’s Superbowl. He is an abomination.
Just remember. A few decades ago. He would not be allowed to play football and make his millions. Because he was black!!
Open mouth, insert foot. And then apologize. Makes it all better, right? I am not buying it. He probably apologized because his managers/coaches made him. I won’t be watching the Superbowl.
“The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head…” In other words, someone forgot to re install his mouth throttle, you know, that thingy that keeps you from speaking stupid shit where it will get recorded ? Culliver, your a worthless bigot. Fuck you bitch.
After hearing the way he spoke on the radio, I highly doubt he had the mental capacity to come up with that “apology.”
Wait… is that your fucking pathetic attempt at an “appology”?
Perhaps he needs to see a psychiatrist to help get those evil words out of his head.
The word “derogatory” is way above his vocabulary level, as witnessed from that interview. Someone wrote this for him.
Yeah I don’t do gays was said wrong! Ok!
Whatever, he said it..it came from somewhere
Interrupted wrong? No he just found out we don’t just stay quiet about hate speech anymore and he got called on it. I have no doubt its the thoughts in his head and the feelings in his heart. Now he’s backtracking from a PR nightmare!
TOO LATE ASSHOLE! I SAY GLITTER BOMB HIM!
PLEASE explain how those quite clear hateful words could POSSIBLY have been misinterpreted. FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!
So if I say “I want your ignorant hateful ass out of the 49ers Cullver, and people give me a hard time about saying that, I can simply say “It was interpreted wrong” Fuck that he doesnt play the bowl. He doesnt even get to suit up !
BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS CHRIS CULLIVER!
BLAH BLAH BLAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha he’s very apologetic that he got printed
BLAH BLAH BLAH !!!!
How do you misinterpret something like that? These assholes come out, and talk crap, and then have someone else apologizing for them.. Please. He doesn’t care. He meant every word. Disgusting.
Riiiiiiiiiiight…and I’m Mega-woman O_o
san fran the gayest city in the US
Interpreted wrong??? OMG, someone shut this guy up (and his rep). The more they say the worse it gets!
Uh huh…
“interpreted wrong’????? His words were very clear. The apology is ridiculous.
And the cycle continues… abuse, apology, flowers and candy, abuse, apology, flowers and candy…
Bull Shit! Own your ignorance coward!
One of the signs of a loss of general sense in society: The words of men (and women) whose primary donation to the human race consists of physical prowess are given weight solely because of their excellence in a completely unrelated area.
The fact that anyone cares two breaths about what a man who makes his living running headlong into other men on a grassy field chasing an inflated pig’s bladder would be laughable, if it weren’t so consternating.
I guess I read that all wrong and I understood it incorrectly…sorry A**hole…you said what you said now own up to it! JERK!
he’s definitely sorry he was caught and is being censured. i still can’t believe that this guy plays for a team the represents a city with one of the biggest lgbt communities in the country. just unreal.
then that means he always thinks negative thoughts – he just usually knows when to keep them to himself, which means he always thinks bad things about what ever he said just apologizing for it means he knows he got caught.
I wonder if he knows the team he plays for is based in Gay Capital of the world….
Right, it wasn’t his bigoted hateful words that were the problem. The problem was that us overly sensitive homos heard the words. Check, got it.
Oh, so he “mis-spoke?” Bull. Nothing was “interpreted wrong.” And nothing is wrong with my reading comprehension, either. That goon couldn’t come up with a fourth of the words written for him in that bastardized “apology.”
Go Ravens! until Culliver opened his big mouth, I didn’t care who won……
His words were misinterpreted? How does one misinterpret homophobic words? He should be fined $50,000, and the funds donated to HRC in his name. Apology not accepted.
Please! Go Ravens!
how sad is that? He will never contribute. Please just go away.
watch for him to come out “10 yrs after football”
DA….
That’s the biggest fuckn lie of all….
Bull… He just doesn’t want to lose commercial deals
I now will root for the Ravens. This jackass said these were thoughts in his head, but not how he feels. Really! These were thoughts that are reflective of his feelings. True Bigotry and Ignorance. Go Ravens!
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152499682840607
I don’t care that he is a hater. Just be honest about it….I hate liars…
Really? Does any buy this apology?
I highly doubt that.
Paid PR person means someone can make nice when he screws up.
I might believe someone that said something like that several years ago and then recanted later. But the next day and via a PR person. Hogwash!
Its called ‘spin control’. Too late to save face.
Exactly. The thoughts in his head prove that he is a bigot and an ass.
bullshit!
Thoughts in my head but bit how I feel = I’m a stupid prick and have been told by the 49ers to somehow to dig outta my shit hole
*whistle* Bullshit Flag. Fifteen yard penalty. Still second down.
In other news, I want a PR rep to apologize for me when I say stupid things and to blame my “mistakes” on others (you know, because they misinterpreted what he said, not because what he said was wrong, that would never happen).
*sigh*
yeah Right
Makes it much easier to root for Baltimore, even though I otherwise could care less about the Superbowl and prefer the commercials during it to any game play.
overpaid…..way overpaid.
Sounds like he learned vocabulary in the past 12 hours.
what an as*hole
Bull shit then why did he say it.
“Interpreted” my ASS!
Homophobic and a liar and hope Ravens win and Randy Moss is an arrogant fool too…
This guy has a pea brain…hope some gay guy makes him look like a sissy.
WOW…
Are we to believe the knucklehead who, in his interview, couldn’t piece together a grammatically correct sentence, wrote this statement??
i interpreted that as a bullshit cover for the man was who
Oh bullshit. He said what he said and he meant it.
Of course he knew, its all about publicity, his agent is apologizing he’s not.
Bullshit!
Someone is back-peddling!!!
Interpreted wrong!???? Really??? What a dick.
Well that’s a backtrack if I ever heard one.
Interpreted wrong? Not even saying that he mis-spoke, was ignorant or STUPID?! This is the atmosphere we are creating—ZERO accountability.
BS..NUFF SAID!!!!!!
Just a note before you go supporting the other team this Sunday, the 49′rs did do an “It gets better” video.
O course. We misinterpreted him saying gay players should leave. I wonder then what he meant exactly…
He’s not sorry. He’s just worried about losing money. I don’t buy his contrition for one minute.
bullsh##
where is the BULLSHIT police!!! Just trying to save face. I am so sick and tired of these asshats! This is what we as a society have come to, and that is to not take responsibility for your own actions. It is sick and disgusting!
Ya think! What a jerk!
Mistake? BULLSHIT! He made it clear he hates gays. Stick by your words. And it’s hilarious how a representative spoke for him, no one could probably understand his broken English.
OMG! Just make him stop talking! I’m out of aspirin and I can’t listen to another idiotic word. . .
Apology my ass! he’s saying it because it’ll make good press if he apoligizes for what he said…he’s a lier! and plus he needs to get over himself it’s not like every gay guy on the freakin planet wants him anyway…I’m tired of people assuming because we’re gay that we like every god damn guy who walks by us or if we’re in the locker room we stare at them…please people need to get over this steriotype and themselves. This is just unexceptable!
” watch your thoughts they become your words, watch you words they become your actions, watch your actions they become your character, and watch you character for it becomes your destiny!”
What a DESPICABLE FOOL! It is not his decision whether Gay players are welcome or not. HE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED! He should read up on Bayard Rustin, the man who made his Civil Rights possible.
What a DESPICABLE FOOL! It is not his decision whether Gay players are welcome or not. HE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED! He should read up on Bayard Rustin, the man who made his Civil Rights possible
He is just another idiot throwing a ball. His blather is proof that he is anti gay. Football is not my thing. Why is he talking anyway?
His twitter name is cullyinthehouse. I really dont see much of an apology coming from him. He is a disgusting human being.
hate is hate he for gets his history
“Apology” NOT accepted. He KNEW EXACTLY what he was saying….agree that he’s a disgusting waste of humanity!
More like, “Ok, you guys saw that? Sorry you saw that.” The sports world has never had a moral standard.
said Theodore Palmer, Culliver’s personal public relations representative…What a bunch of Bullshit..If he was really sorry he would have at-least said it himself..I’ll stick by my original comment… ASSHOLE
I call bullshit! Fuck this asshole! lol
Now that he’s feeling the backlash of his statement of course he’s gonna say it was taken out of context. And he needs to get a fucking education. His grammar just kills me.
This to me is nothing more than a half-assed attempt at an apology as well as just plain wrong in my eyes. He should have to say it on the air, himself, before the big game. and I hope the 49er’s loose too.
Asshole (*)
