NFL looks into improper questions at the combine

[h=1]NFL looks into improper questions[/h]
Kasa says teams asked about his sexual orientation during the Combine.

The NFL says it will look into whether questions asked of Colorado tight end Nick Kasa at the combine violated any laws or league policies banning employers from inquiring about a possible employee's sexual orientation.


Kasa told ESPN Radio in Denver that during interviews with team officials at the combine in Indianapolis: ''(Teams) ask you, like, 'Do you have a girlfriend?' 'Are you married?' 'Do you like girls?'''


He did not identify who asked him such questions.


On Wednesday, Kasa said on the ''Dan Patrick Show'' he didn't think it ''was really a serious question.''


The NFL says it will look into Kasa's comments and that ''any team or employee that inquires about impermissible subjects or makes an employment decision based on such factors is subject to league discipline.''


DeMaurice Smith, the head of the NFL players association, said in a statement: ''I know that the NFL agrees that these types of questions violate the law, our CBA and player rights. I hope that they will seek out information as to what teams have engaged in this type of discrimination and we should then discuss appropriate discipline.''

It would just figure that he is a tight end.

Le’Veon Bell says he was asked questions about sexuality

And now there are two.

Of the 330-plus players who attended the Scouting Combine, two have admitted on the record that questions were asked indirectly about sexual orientation.

First, it was Colorado tight end Nick Kasa, who was asked by at least one team, “Do you like girls?” Now, Michigan State running back Le’Veon Bell says that questions indirectly were posed regarding sexuality.

“Yeah, yeah, there were questions just like that,” Bell told WDFN radio, via theDetroit News. “There were definitely a couple weird questions. I got asked so many of them, I don’t remember them all. But that was definitely a couple questions I got asked.”

The NFL has reacted strongly to the situation. But it remains to be seen whether actions will match words. At a minimum, Kasa and Bell need to be questioned by the league office about the questions posed during the Scouting Combine.

To do it right, all of the players who attended the Scouting Combine should be asked about the questions they were asked.

And if the NFL determines that one or more teams crossed the line, the NFL needs to take action. The best way to get a team’s attention is to take away draft picks. In this specific setting, where teams are violating league policy (and in some juridictions the law) by asking questions aimed at helping the teams use their draft picks, it makes perfect sense to strip picks.

This could be a huge black eye for Roger Goodell if lawsuits are filed.

Something tells me that this situation has now been resolved by the Ginger Hammer.

I swear.

Political Correctness will ruin this country. It is a job related question...If your middle linebacker is a twink, he can not and will not be the leader of your defense.
And if you do not like xxxxxx, why should you be forced to hire them?

Isn't it your loss as the employer anyway if they are a great worker. As a business owner, you should not be forced to hire ....
