San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver apologized Thursday for anti-gay comments he made to comedian Artie Lange during Super Bowl media day, saying "that's not what I feel in my heart." "I'm sorry if I offended anyone. They were very ugly comments," Culliver said during an hour-long media session. "Hopefully I learn and grow from this experience and this situation." A league official told ESPN NFL Insider Ed Werder that Culliver is unlikely to face discipline because of his inappropriate remarks. Culliver on Thursday said he would welcome a gay teammate to the 49ers, a reversal of his remarks to Lange two days earlier during an interview at the Superdome. "I treat everyone equal," Culliver said. "That's not how I feel." He added that he realized his comments were especially offensive to many people in San Francisco and the Bay Area, which is home to a large gay community. "I love San Francisco," Culliver said. 49ers CEO Jed York told reporters that he met with Culliver regarding his comments. "All I said was, it's up to you to live up to your apology," York told reporters. "... He made a very bold statement that he wants to get to know the LGBT community. And I said, 'it's up to you. You can either live up to that, and if you don't, people are going to vilify you and probably rightfully so.' And I don't think that's what Chris is going to do. I think he's going to step up and be a man about it." Rad more http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/201...sco-49ers-says-anti-gay-opinions-not-my-heart
