I still rock his jersey for home games.

[@TonyVSTheWorld]

Not even a Steelers fan but i had a slash jersey. WR/QB/RB he's not talked about enough!

[@marcusdupree8209]

What they used 25 years ago to try to openly destroy a man who did nothing wrong, is now protected, celebrated and arguably encouraged. BY THE SAME LEAGUE. While I'm thankful for growth, it's still incredibly frustrating to hear this story. He didn't deserve that, period.

[@JerseyCWP]

I heard it too and even though, I was a Cowboy fan back then, I didn't believe the rumor.

[@dukeakartj]

Did it your way

[@drew8703]

The blue collar town thing is an aspect I hadn't really appreciated in all this. It made me think of TO not quite realizing he was in SF when he implied Jeff Garcia was gay. But Kordell is da bomb, I've been targeting his rookie cards in my card collection.

Never hear of you but thanks for enlighten us and a reminder to never run if you know your right. The power of words < The strength of a powerful innocent man. Word to the masses: If someone with power/authority want to get or mess up your life it can be done. However, you have to choose whether to keeping going or fold. Know what I heard. Someone who survive and lived to tell the truth with a smile. 😃 Judge not that ye not be judged. Endure to the end.
