NFL Player
Coming Out?
Outsports.com has reported that an online picture of New England Patriots running back Laurence Maroney's allegedly shows him sucking on another man's neck—leading some to think that the National Football League player is on the verge of outing himself.
The photo seemed to have come from Maroney's own FaceBook page—but the image has since disappeared.
The picture was accompanied by what Outsports calls 'bizarre quotes,' including 'Your ass backwards if you chase hoes, chase the cheese they come with the shit.' After going through UrbanDictionary.com, Outsports said that one possible definition of 'cheese' is a friend who crosses over the line.

Scotland Has First Gay Soccer Team
Scotland now has its first all-gay soccer team, thanks to a charity fundraiser, according to The Daily Record.
Kevin Rowe, a fundraiser for the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, created the new team—called Hotscots FC—because gay players had to deal with discrimination when they played on predominantly-straight squads.
There are 20 people on the team. Hotscots competes in tournaments in Edinburgh, the country's capital.
