Joe Namath on gays: “If you’ve got a hangup about it, I hope you can get over it because it’s real”

Joe Namath says he never played with a gay teammate that he knows of, but he loves and supports gay people.
“I have friends that are gay. I’ve worked in theater, I’ve been in art, you know, for some time. We work shoulder to shoulder. There’s a lot of love from me to them too. That’s life, you know. And if you’ve got a hangup about it, I hope you can get over it because it’s real.”
