laveranues coles on Oprah
So i get home from work today and my grandmom is watching Oprah and they have laveranues coles on there talking about how he was raped by his step dad. Im not sure if he has come out with this before or just today. But i was wondering what you guys think this will do for his football career. Will he still play the same or will the stress of everyone trrying to either feel sorry for him or bust his balls about this change the way he plays?

Huh? I'd guess that anyone strong enough to overcome such demons would not let what others think or do have any effect on his performance.
Does anyone else pronounce his name phonetically? The accepted way is just too far of a leap for me. |

I believe he revealed this last season. So, no, I don't think it will affect him on the field.

This came up either during this offseason or at the begining of the season. It takes a real man to come out and say this publically and deal with the social consequences so I doubt that it will affect him on the field. Maybe he will turn into Hines Ward and try to run everyone over even if they are twice his size.

Since he's older and well established, it probably won't have much impact on his career.
As for other players using it against him (taunting), I believe Sheldon Kennedy reported he was subject to taunts before and after his public admission. |
