Kordell stewart gay
Former NFL quarterback Kordell Stewart opened up about his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers in a brand-new op-ed for the Players' Tribune published on Thursday (February 4.)
Stewart spent the majority of the NFL career in Pittsburgh after being selected by the Steelers in the second round of the 1995 NFL Draft and had a polarizing eight seasons in the Steel City.
The former University of Colorado standout brought a one-of-a-kind skill set to the franchise, earning the nickname "Slash" for his ability to provide a dual-threat option at quarterback -- years before the trend became common among NFL starters -- while also excelling at several other positions.
Stewart emerged as a franchise quarterback, but his time in Pittsburgh was polarizing and included an unproven 1998 rumor about him engaging in a lewd act with another man in a metropolis park.
“It never happened,” Stewart wrote in the Players' Tribune feature. “It was a lie. But that wasn’t the point.”
Stewart, who is not gay, said he felt attacked by the city of Pittsburgh for the rumor, which he said the Steelers found was started by an individual local police officer. The former quarterback said he was asked
Football fans especially Cleveland Browns fans remember Kordell Stewart as the multifaceted as well as elusive Pittsburgh Steeler player that played both Quarterback and receiver. Reality television fans recall Kordell Stewart, as the control freak, Porsha Williams husband on The Genuine Housewives of Atlanta season 5, that dude that wouldn’t even let Porsha Williams Stewart have a baby. The one thing that both football and reality television fans recall about Kordell Stewart collectively is the rumor that the NFL star was gay. A rumor that still hasn’t gone away.
However the 48 year antique Kordell Stewart hasn’t played football since 2005 and his reality television stint was 8 seasons, a divorce and a neonate ago, plus Porsha Williams has come a far way from believing that the underground railroad was a real train that ran under the groud…so why are we still talking about Kordell Stewart and whether or not he is gay or not? Because let’s be for real, in the 2021, nobody really cares whether someone is queer or not.
The answer is because Kordell Stewart sat down for an interview with Tamron Hall to address the rumor of
You flipped him off, didn’t you? You called him gay, didn’t you? You dumped Rolling Rock on him one day, and asked him to approve your No.10 jersey the next. His daddy was in the bathroom at Three Rivers one Sunday, and he overheard one of your drunks utter, “Get that Kordell Stewart out of here,” and you slapped that drunk five, didn’t you? You begged for Mike Tomczak and Kent Graham, didn’t you? You thought you got in your quarterback’s head, didn’t you?
Don’t agonize, he isn’t bitter. He was a hermit there for a while, but he’s got it figured out now. He knows how you harassed your other quarterbacks, what you did to Bradshaw and Gilliam and Malone and Stoudt and Brister, but he’ll never cave appreciate they did; this shadowy man will take all of your fair-weather BS.
You did him a favor, actually. He got closer to God. Says he’s dipped in spiritual water now. He learned how to be a teammate, learned that he used to come off as the locker room snob. Plays golf with his O-linemen now. Is kicker Kris Brown’s personal psychologist. Has the boys over to his residence. Even lets them wear their shoes on his Berber carpet. He knows this is all part of his job now, part of being the qu
Kordell Stewart Is Back, And, So You Know, Still Not Gay
Today is a beautiful night, and not just because Jay Bilas is in Kuwait. No, today the news came across: Kordell Stewart could be returning to the NFL, likely with the Ravens again to help with the injury to Kyle Boller. This is fantastic news, because, as the elderly maxim goes, Nobody Denies They're Gay Like Kordell Stewart.
Stewart's sexual orientation has been questioned for years, so much so, in fact, that about five years ago, then-Steelers teammates were beginning to openly question him about it, forcing him to dial a team meeting to clear the air. That meeting led to one of the most marvelous paragraphs ever written in Sports Illustrated, or anywhere.
Stewart's sensitivity and his short profile off the field made him seem distant to teammates during his difficult periods. Moreover, some Steelers admit they were fazed by rumors that Stewart was gay, until he called a gathering before the 1999 season and issued a denial that included graphic descriptions of heterosexual acts he enjoys. "I could notice the hu
