A gay football player for North Dakota State College claims he was removed from the school’s team after he was seen kissing his boyfriend during a game, Dan Savage reported in Seattle alt-weekly the Stranger.
During a game between North Dakota State College and Snow College in Pueblo, Col., Jamie Kuntz, 18, apparently outed himself by giving his 65-year-old boyfriend a quick peck.
Kuntz was sitting out the game out due to a concussion but was helping film the game from the press box. Keeping him company was his boyfriend and at one point, Kuntz gave him a kiss, which some teammates saw.
On the bus ride home, Chuck Parsons, the football team’s head coach, asked him about the kiss. Kuntz (who says he has always been attracted to older men) lied and said he kissed his grandfather. A few days later, however, the teen was booted from the team. Full story here!

Imagine what they'll do to him when they found out how he spent his time with his BF later that night.
18 and 65? Am I the only one that finds this somewhat inappropriate? Granted, there's nothing illegal about it but still. I'd feel the same way about an 18 year old girl with a 65 year old.
But whatever floats your boat, dude.
I have been thinking that since I first saw the story, I just thought it was a bit.. inappropriate, yeah. I could understand if other people found themselves feeling a bit uncomfortable, but whether that was a reason to be kicked from the team..
"Always liked older men"? Hmmmm. So, using this same logic, at 50, I should be stalking toddlers at the local KinderCare all in the name of equality? This why I have few gay friends or even acquaintances for that matter. As a conservative, I have real problems with folks, in pursuit of the ultimate egalitarian utopia, being so open minded their brains fall out. The 65 year old in this relationship is a very sick man and nobody -- with half a brain -- can condone this behavior. All that said, if this kid -- and I mean that in every sense of the word -- can play football well, he should be allowed to stay on the team. His poor choice of a mate plays no role in whether he can contribute to the team's success. I mean, NBA standout Kris Humphries married a Kardashian and he did not lose a job over that very dubious choice.
