They had drafted a player in 1967, Ray McDonald, who was gay, and apparently everyone on the Redskins knew this. In speaking to another coach about him, Maraniss quotes Lombardi as saying "I want you to get on McDonald and work on him and work on him--and if I hear one of you people make reference to his manhood you'll be out of here before your *** hits the ground."In the same paragraph Maraniss states "His brother Harold was gay. He had made it a point throughout his coaching career that he would not tolerate discrimination of any sort on his teams."</blockquote>
