Sean Chapin, LGBT activist, calls on the SF 49ers to explain the confusion over their "It Gets Better" video



Sean Chapin, the activist behind the Change.org petition that convinced the San Francisco 49ers to be the first NFL team to make an 'It Gets Better' video, has questions. He says the team needs to address the remarks made by linebacker Ahmad Brooks and nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga last week in the days before the Super Bowl.

Brooks and Sopoaga both denied participating in the video, and then, when they were shown it, said they never knew it had anything to do with gays, and then appeared to want to distance themselves from it.

In light of all of this, Sean Chapin has questions.

Their comments led Dan Savage to pull the video from the 'It Gets Better' site.

Savage then tweeted: "We've removed the #49ers #ItGetsBetter video from our website. #homophobia #NFL #horsesh*t"
