Finally the phrase “no homo” has left the rap world and been imported to professional football, where Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe got to use the phrase on a radio program and incite guttural reactions from gays!
About having team orgies (!) that might or might not involve quarterback Matt Cassell, Bowe told What’s Wright With Nick Wright‘s host, “It’s like an extra year with your girlfriend trying to map things out. You know, those quarterbacks, they’re like my girlfriend. No homo.”
Yep, this is the same team that no longer employs running back Larry Johnson, who uses the F-word on Twitter. As it stands, football players appear more furious Bowe revealed a league secret than used that obnoxious phrase.

Well, they’re not paid to be smart, are they?

Based on what I just read, I fail to see the big
deal here. Typically; when the term “No Homo” is used,
it’s generally following or preceding a “Positive Comment”
about a member of the same Sex. So when a guy uses
the term, I just give him that “Hmmmm Look”.
He could be a possible closet case.

Come on, Black Pegasus. There’s nothing positive when a straight person uses that word. He’s a hateful, bone headed bigot. Closet case? I hope not. We don’t want him.

@Wild Puss:
I hear ya! but it has been my experience that these
guys are mostly closeted cock suckers. And I agree
with you; WE DON”T want them anyway!

Was this guy REALLY worth the bandwidth..? I mean… really?

The guy is asked if he would participate in an orgy with the team’s quarterback.
He responds [translated]: Quarterbacks map everything out = The quarterback tells you what you are supposed to do. My girlfriend tries to map everything out too.
Ergo, Quarterbacks are like my girlfriend. No homo = Not in the gay way, I don’t want my Quarterback the way I want my girlfriend.
++++++++++++
I’m not offended. Basically the guy is asked if he wants to have sex with the quarterback and the guy responds “I’m not gay.” I have been asked many times over the years to have sex with various women I have made, including the, “I can turn you straight” girls. I always respond that I don’t want to have sex with them because I’m gay. A few times I have had to be more declarative with “No. I’m a homo!”
I suppose I could change that too “No breeder!”

Suggestion: Maybe Kansas City gay pride should rename itself Somewhere Over Dwayne Bowe…

No. 3 · Wild Puss wrote, “Come on, Black Pegasus. There’s nothing positive when a straight person uses that word. He’s a hateful, bone headed bigot.”
In addition to the comment in No 6 (which pointed out the phrase could be used in a way that was not intended to be disparaging), a variation on this sort of dialog has been used hilariously in films. Take the film Orgasmo (a spoof on a porn production with a Mormon missionary being hired by a porn company). There’s a running gag going through it where, just when something X rated was about to happen, they’d cut to a guy standing behind the camera, looking at the “action” with his mouth wide open and eyes bulging out. Then he’d invariably say, “I don’t want you to think I’m gay or anything, but you were really hot in that scene.” At the end, he says, “I don’t want you to think I’m gay or anything, but would you sleep with me?” (At which point the audience invariably cracks up laughing.)
If it is just short for “I’m not gay but” (followed by a statement that might be interpreted to mean you are), I wouldn’t dump on the person saying it for being a bigot, but maybe for being inarticulate. There are legitimate reasons for a straight guy to make it clear that he is not gay, such as making sure that the woman flirting with him keeps on flirting with him.
