He's not.

Meaning I take a comparable player -- there are lots of them -- and avoid the hassle.

That's not discrimination, that's just business.
QFT. Even without his coming out, he was projected to go in the ~ 5th round. After the bullying fiasco in the Miami Dolphins locker room, ownership is going to tread carefully on this.

I wish him luck and great success, but he'll need the former to achieve the latter.
