A Ravens Receiver Just Won A Football Victory For Gay Rights
Jacoby Jones beat pro football’s resident homophobe, Chris Culliver, for a tremendous touchdown.
1. In the second quarter of the Super Bowl, Joe Flacco dropped back and threw up a bomb on 3rd and 10.
2. And it was the right move: Flacco had a wide open Jacoby Jones sprinting down the field. Jones makes the grab —
3. — then gets up and takes it into the end zone. Great throw, great catch, great touchdown. But wait — who was it that Jones beat?
4. Is it? Yep: that’s Chris Culliver. Remember Chris Culliver?
5. Yeah, that Chris Culliver.
Culliver made these inflammatory comments earlier this week. He has since pledged to get sensitivity training after the season, and the 49ers publicly admonished him.
7. So, dance on, Jacoby Jones. Not only did you score a touchdown in the Super Bowl — you also won a victory for LGBT rights.

lexmarksthespot 3 months agoListen, I’m glad culliver got his comeuppance. Karma and all that. But “resident homophobe” is just you trying to fluff up your sentence. The reason why so few professional athletes don’t come out of the closet is because there is an overwhelming climate of homophobia and hostility. Honestly it’s more likely than unlikely that Jacoby Jones has said something homophobic within a sports environment so I have absolutely no idea how you’ve connected it to him. In terms of football he wasn’t the one who missed coverage. He should have done a better job reading his run and wrapping him up after he spun away. And looking down at the comments this honestly silly and lazy grab in the dark at pageviews has now brought the “you pushy gays with your gay agendas leave straight people alone” types. Just lazy lazy stuff. I’m all for kicking down Culliver, I think he should have gotten suspended and fined for discrimination. The nfl should have taken a stand against homophobia, but this is just…gosh you’re on staff? Do better. You need to do so much better. This is horrible work you’ve put out and if it’s this bad you shouldn’t put it out at all.
