Gay Or Straight? Dallas Sportswriter Damages Aikman

Skip Bayless, a veteran sportswriter who works and lives in Dallas, has written “the definitive inside story of the Dallas Cowboys,” (that’s what the Harper Collins press discharge claims), a 290-page book entitled, “Hell-Bent.”

The tell-all tome has created some waves because Bayless addresses a rumor that Cowboy quarterback Troy Aikman is gay.

Bayless’ book states Aikman is a homosexual. This is an erroneous translation, but Bayless dances all around the topic and many radio and television sportscasters have made the same characterization.

Since its publication, Aikman has blasted Bayless and the guide while answering questions about his have sexuality. During a television interview, Aikman said he didn’t think a person should have to fight such a battle.

I agree.

In the first place, Aikman’s sexual preference is nobody’s business. Who cares what Troy Aikman does after hours? As elongated as he’s not breaking the statute (like teammate Michael Irvin), Aikman should be allowed to do whatever he wants in his private life. Gay? Straight? The Cowboys pay him to win

There's something I've always wanted to ask you, and people who read this column know very good how I sense professionally about Skip Bayless. In a book on the Cowboys in the 1990s, Bayless had a unsubstantiated claim that you were gay. Over the years you possess generally not responded to this but I did browse in the Dallas Morning News a couple of years ago that you said, and I quote: “I've not physically seen Skip Bayless since that time. That was in '95. And I still nice of wonder what I might undertake to him when I do spot him.” How much anger today perform you feel about what was written in that book?

quote:
Aikman: I’m upset about it because it was made up and there was nothing accurate about anything that was insinuated. And he did it, as he does everything, just for attention. I am probably more upset because I probably should have responded to it at the time it was going on. The advice to me was “Hey, just don’t address it. It’s not worth it. It doesn’t make any perception. It’s ridiculous. All it’
Troy Aikman gay – attracted to both genders rumors fly again because of Skip Bayless
Had Skip Bayless published his novel “Hell Bent” (a glance at the 1990sDallas Cowboys) during today’s climate, there is no way he would be one of the highest paid sports media members in the country.
Questioning a person’ssexuality in a public forum is a definite no-no in 2016, but Bayless saw his career eventually thrive despite publishing unfoundedclaims that then-Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman was gay.
Aikman, who is the lead analyst for the NFL on FOX, shredded Bayless in an interview with SI’s Richard Deitsch on Tuesday. Bayless recently make the bounce from ESPN to FOX Sports.
“To say I’m disappointed in the hiring of Skip Bayless would be an enormous understatement,” Aikmain told Deitsch. “Clearly, [Fox Sports president] Jamie Horowitz and I include a difference of notion when it comes to building a successful corporation. I believe success is achieved by acquiring and developing talented, respected and credible individuals, none of which applies to Skip Bayless.”

LOS ANGELES -- David Kopay peers out the window of his ninth-floor apartment in West Hollywood and studies the memorable view: the tumbling Hollywood Hills, down to the Christmas-treed uppermost of Tower Records, out to the Los Angeles skyline and the Pacific Ocean beyond.
He wonders where all the years went.
It has been 23 NFL seasons since Kopay, a running back for five teams in nine seasons, stunned the sports world by coming out as a homosexual. He was the first major professional team-sport athlete to do so, but few have followed. Guard Roy Simmons, who played 58 games for the Giants and Redskins from 1979-83, came out on the Phil Donahue Show in 1992, but that was it.
"I'm the token queer,'' Kopay muses. "I'm it.''
The conviction that somewhere between 5 and 10 percent of the general population is homosexual suggests that 75 to 150 of the NFL's 1,500 players are closeted.

Troy Aikman has denied continuing rumors he is gay.
"Think about this,'' says Atlanta expansive receiver Terance Mathis. "You may have three, four gay guys on your team and not even know it.''
Says Kopay, "Of course, that is what I want to believe, and yet I don't se
