. >>> live happening right now from new orleans, 49ers defensive back chris colfer is holding a news conference, let's listen in. >> we expect a greater response from people if you would been on another team in another city? >> i don't understand your question. i understand, yes what you said about homosexuals in our state, yes. >> what kind of reaction did you give on twitter? [inaudible] >> have you spoken to your teammates about it at all? >> no. >> why did you say those things? >> like i said, just something that was said in a joking manner but that's not how i feel in my heart. >> did you speak to your teammates? >> no. >> your teammates are not talking about it? >> i am not trying to bring distraction to my team. like i said, it is just pretty much said in a joking manner but it is not really how i feel. >> did you dread this morning of how it would be viewed and you would be the center of attention? >> yes, but what you said earlier, about me allowing different people so... i just want to learn and grow and like i said, i just want to talk to the media and if people come to me
