A German reporter asked Rodgers-Cromartie yesterday whether he thought an openly gay player could survive in the NFL. Said Cromartie: "It's going to be hard. I mean, in this league, you gotta shower with guys and be around guys. Some guys are going to be uncomfortable and some guys aren't. It's going to be hard for some guys to accept [a gay player]." Would he be opposed to an openly gay player on his team? "That's on that player," he said. "I have nothing against it. If a player is going to come out, he's going to come out. You can't look at him as different."
