The head of You Can Play is calling it BS, so it sounds like another made-up Twitter rumor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenryan Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Him being a Canadiens player makes it believable IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 And this is a terrible response. I didn't take it to mean that he was more likely to be gay because of playing for Montreal. I took at as he is more likely to come out because of playing for Montreal because it would be a more accepting environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
