College wrestler talks about motivation, aftermath of appearing on gay porn site
”I didn’t do anything illegal. I didn’t hurt anyone. I don’t think I did anything wrong. Who should I apologize to?… I am straight, but on the forums people make a lot of gay jokes about me. I’m not too concerned. They can talk about me all they want, it doesn’t matter. If a guy wants to be with a guy, who cares?… We kept thinking no one would ever find out because it was a gay website and we really wanted that money.”
Paul Donahoe, a college wrestler who was dismissed from his Nebraska team after he and a fellow wrestler, Kenny Jordan, appeared in nude photos on an all-male porn site for directed at gay men. Donahoe says that after the scandal he has now transferred to Edinboro University in Pennsylvania where he has been given a second change to wrestle, but lost 24 credits and had to donate all of the money he made to a charity.
