Kerry Rhodes Says He’s Not Gay & He’s Not Blacklisted

Despite several compromising photos between him and his former assistant, NFL free agent Kerry Rhodes says he’s not gay and he’s not blacklisted. If he were gay, maybe he’d have a job — ask Jason Collins who just signed a 10 day contract with the Brooklyn Nets. 

For obvious reasons, Rhodes was asked about the Michael Sam situation and whether he feels he himself was blacklisted by the NFL.

“I don’t think I was blacklisted,” Rhodes told ESPN New York. “Especially with the NFL I don’t think they would do that … to me it was a product of me wanting to do other things and not finding the right opportunity …”

“I emphatically said no once [to the rumor that he’s gay] and that’s all I need to say and people who know me know that’s definitely not the case. To me I’m definitely not and I can’t control what people think, so I move on.”

He also talks about whether he considers himself retired.

“Every option for me is open,” Rhodes said. “It’s about me staying ready to go, I would probably have to take a deal right now, but if an opportunity that’s good for them and also good for me I would entertain it and want to come back and play. I still love football and it’s still a part of me. That’s not closed. But I’m not going to go into a situation where it’s not beneficial to myself. Because with the things I’m doing now I feel pretty comfortable and confident. It’s just what works best. But definitely haven’t closed that door yet.”

Correction, Kerry has never said he wasn’t gay. He’s had random people make up lies that he had a fiancé etc,  but he’s never said anything. He’s had his PR team imply that he was dating former Basketball Wife Jennifer, but HE has never said he wasn’t gay. Gay or not, why are we interviewing Kerry. He is still jobless. We should interview T.O. while we’re at it.
