Is it okay to dismiss someone from a college football team for publicly kissing his 65-year-old boyfriend? What about if that person initially lied and claimed that the boyfriend was actually his grandfather?
One of those two things got Jamie Kuntz kicked off his team recently. Which one? Well, that depends on whose version of the story you want to believe.
Kuntz, 18, claims that he was kicked off North Dakota State College of Sciences’s football team when his teammates and coaches discovered that he was gay. According to his account of what happened, an ill-timed public display of affection between him and his ancient boyfriend during a Labor Day Weekend game created a rift that could never ultimately be overcome.
"People around here aren't exposed to it," Kuntz said of homosexuality (via WISTV). "People expect gays to be flamboyant, not football players."
While Kuntz maintains that it was his lifestyle that got him booted from the team, head coach Chuck Parsons insists that the dismissal stemmed from Kuntz lying about the kiss. When he was initially confronted about what happened, Kuntz told his coach that he had actually just kissed his grandfather
