Arizona Cardinals superstar Kyler Murray has made headlines this season for his ridiculous plays. One in particular against the Las Vegas Raiders. Murray scrambled for almost 90 yards before sprinting into the endzone for a crucial two-point conversion.

The quarterback was also in the headlines for a homework clause in his contract and more recently an incredible outfit that fans had plenty to say about.

Murray's lime green outfit sparked memes on social media among fans, but sports analyst Jason Whitlock wasn't content with the jokes. He went on to bizarrely state that the quarterback's outfit may indicate that he's homosexual. During a recent episode of Truth Bomb, Whitlock said:

"People are going to think I’m joking when I say this, but if football were still football you wouldn’t show up to work dressed like [Kyler Murray] because you would be thinking, ‘Man, I better be locked in and my mindset has to be right for this war that I’m about to go into.' But this guy knows he’s going into a protected bubble and protected space so it’s almost like a joke."

He added:

"He’s got time to think in the morning ‘Hey, what kind of feminized, Queen Elizabeth pantsuit can I wear on the runway before I go play a football game?’ When you’re preparing to play football in previous eras I don’t think anybody would think to put that on – perhaps if they're closeted, they would put that on. And maybe Kyler is."

Whitlock's tirade did not stop there. He claimed that Kyler Murray has a stylist that dresses him like a woman:

"That’s how he wants you to look, he’s paid to make you look feminized, or you got a female stylist who is dressing you like a woman. These guys are doing it for the money, they don’t understand how they’re being manipulated, and the whole country, not just football, is going down this path. They’re the ‘influencers’ making it seem cool to get every kid saying ‘Hey, what lime green Hillary Clinton pantsuit can I wear tomorrow?’, it’s all part of the gimmick.”

Criticizing and poking fun at Kyler Murray's outfit is in jest. But Whitlock claiming that football is being "feminized" is a bridge too far. The analyst has always been opinionated and has said outlandish things in the past. However, linking a person's sexuality to their fashion sense is bizarre and seems to lack class.
