Althouse: "I'm not gay," said Aaron Rodgers. "I really, really like women. That's all I can say about that."

January 1, 2014

"I'm not gay," said Aaron Rodgers. "I really, really like women. That's all I can say about that."

"There's always going to be silly stuff out there in the media... You can't worry too much about it. I don't. There should be 'professional is professional and personal is personal'... That's the way I'm going to keep it."

Thanks for the update. Gay, straight, bi- or asexual, Aaron Rodgers is much loved.

"I'm not gay"

OK, makes sense.

"I really, really like women"

WTF, who likes women? They're psychopaths.

AA: "Gay, straight, bi- or asexual, Aaron Rodgers is much loved."

"is"

Shouldn't that read: 'Straight, Aaron Rodgers IS much loved, and even if gay, bi- or asexual, I believe would be as much loved.'??; 1/1/14, 8:05 PM

Anonymous said...: Anyone can claim to like women. We won't know for sure until he submits to a distaff double-check.; 1/1/14, 8:19 PM
Birkel said...: Why are reporters confident that they can ask people for such personal information? If faced with such inquiries it would be appropriate for people in any walk of life to attack the reporter for a lack of professionalism.

Everybody can buy zeroes and ones by the barrel-full. People who trade in ink should be put on the defense when they over-step proper bounds.; 1/1/14, 8:19 PM
Curious George said...: Milwaukee gay community has been saying he was gay for years. Maybe they just needed a starting QB for their team.; 1/1/14, 8:24 PM

Yes, It would be good to see more of that.; 1/1/14, 8:43 PM

RecChief said...: who cares.

He beat the Bears

And for that, while I respect his abilities, now I hate him.

The End.; 1/1/14, 8:47 PM

Here's a quarter, call someone who cares.; 1/1/14, 9:12 PM

Birches said...: I've heard that Aaron Rogers likes tight ends and has been making passes at men for years.

Thread winner.

He was on his weekly radio show, so there was no blindside hit. He obviously wanted to address it.

That said, I never thought Aaron Rodgers was gay, but he does make me wonder a little bit when he's sporting the creeper mustache.; 1/1/14, 11:33 PM
Carnifex said...: I always respond to the question "Are you gay?" with "Why? Are you looking for a date?" It shuts the homophobic busy bodies (those that would ask this question) right the fuck up. Normal people don't care who you screw as long as it ain't them.; 1/2/14, 12:59 AM

SomeoneHasToSayIt said...: Drago (1/1/14, 8:04PM), you are exactly right.

In fact, the thread should have been closed down after your comment, as nothing more useful can be said.; 1/2/14, 7:44 AM
Birkel said...: In future threads I will assume every topic is football-related to explain Robert Cook's ignorance.; 1/2/14, 8:24 AM
Oso Negro said...: His statement that he "really, really likes women" proves his gayness. Straight men are compelled by women. Compelled. Like has nothing to do with it.; 1/2/14, 8:38 AM
southcentralpa said...: How does he feel about bobsledders ... maybe we should give him and Lolo Jones a nudge.; 1/2/14, 9:55 AM
Scott said...: I had a comment deleted from this blog when I floated the highly plausible speculation that Herb Kohl might be gay. But I guess trafficking in speculation about the sexual orientation of professional athletes is different.

Maybe Aaron Rodgers should donate a chunk of money to OFA. That'll keep it out of the news.; 1/2/14, 11:42 AM
