The Seattle Seahwawks reached a deal with Brady Quinn yesterday to serve as their new backup quarterback, just two weeks after Seawhawks defensive end Chris Clemons made headlines for saying gay players should stay in the closet. What’s Quinn’s history with the gays? Let’s look to this mention from 2008 in The Plain Dealer:
Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn was part of a group of men shouting insults at gay passers-by outside a Columbus bar early on New Year’s Day, according to a 9-1-1 call made to police. … On the 9-1-1 call, Harris said that “Brady Quinn from the Browns” was “trying to cause a fight.” Harris told the operator, “I just walked outside and he exchanged many profanities with me and called me a faggot, of course.”
Quinn, who is sure to find a buddy in Clemons, also stumped for John McCain when he ran for president.
Welcome to town, bro!
