Dolphins GM Apologizes for Prostitute Question <\/a>
Miami Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland has apologized to NFL draftee Dez Bryant for asking the footballer if his mother was a prostitute. Bryant said he was \u201creally mad,\u201d but didn\u2019t say anything at the time to his perspective employer. Bryant was taken 24th overall by the Dallas Cowboys. Ireland asked him the question several weeks ago in a pre-draft interview. Bryant\u2019s mother, Angela, is gay and her personal life has already generated more attention than is warranted for merely being the mother of someone who\u2019s looking for a job. AP via Google: \u201cMy mom is not a prostitute,\u201d Bryant told Yahoo! Sports. As for his reaction to Ireland\u2019s question: \u201cI got mad \u2014 really mad \u2014 but I didn\u2019t show it.\u201d NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith said Ireland\u2019s question raised worrisome issues. \u201cWe need to make sure the men of this league are treated as businessmen,\u201d Smith said in a statement. \u201cDuring interviews, our players and prospective players should never be subjected to discrimination or degradation stemming from the biases or misconceptions held by team personnel.\u201d Read more<\/p>\n
