To Clarify: Clinton Portis, Not Gay
By Chris Mottram | July 30, 2009
This could’ve gone as an update to our ongoing coverage of training camp, day 1, but I thought it deserved its own moment in the sun. Here’s what Clinton Portis had to say when Steinz asked him today about his blond hair:
“Why did I go blond?” he repeated. “I just felt like doing something different. You know, I think even with that, from what I hear, now I’m gay? I don’t think there’s a woman in the United States of America that would say I’m gay. So, you know, I don’t hang around men, I don’t live a private life, there’s constantly people around me. You know, I did it because that was something that I felt like doing. At the moment it was like, ‘Ohhh, I want to do something weird and different,’ and that’s what I did, I dyed my hair blond. You know, it wasn’t an attention seeker. I actually was out of the country, I left the country after I did it, so I wasn’t even over here once I did it. So it was just an experiment.”
So, to be clear: He was just experimenting. But not in a gay way. (Sorry, Stet)
