“The Falcons coach, one of the coaches, was like, ‘So do you like men?’ It was like the first thing he asked me. It was weird. I was just like, ‘no.’ He was like, ‘if you’re going to come to Atlanta, sometimes that’s how it is around here, you’re going to have to get used to it.’ I guess he was joking but they just ask most of these questions to see how you’re going to react.”


Stay classy Hotlanta

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Was he referring to Julio?

ETA: Maybe this was his way of preparing him for the annual raping of the Falcons by the Saints

The question really just came out wrong. What he meant to ask was:

“Hey Apple, if you were a fruit what kind of fruit would you be?”


I laughed

Also from the article

quote:

I am really disappointed in the question that was asked by one of our coaches. I have spoken to the coach that interviewed Eli Apple and explained to him how inappropriate and unprofessional this was. I have reiterated this to the entire coaching staff and I want to apologize to Eli for this even coming up. This is not what the Atlanta Falcons are about and it is not how we are going to conduct ourselves.”

I think if you google "examples of covering your arse" that template comes up, you can just copy and paste to make it specific to your situation.

Falcons bringing Matty ice out of the closet this early in his career? I guess I can't blame them. It's not like he's done anything lately.

The NFL is definitely going to force the Falcons to fire someone as a result of this.

Can't blame them for trying to find Matty a boyfriend

This would make perfect sense if he was a center.

Reason 154,217 Atlanta is a dumpster fire of an organization.

Nah. Just force them to sign Michael Sam and be this year's Hard Knocks team.

I can think of questions Atlanta can ask that are more offensive. “Do you like winning?” is one of them.

That's a fair question. Atlanta is San Fran East.
