Bills player says canceled ‘females only’ party ‘was no weird orgy thing’

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy told reporters at training camp Friday that there was nothing shady about the private "females only" party he canceled Sunday amid controversy.

At the Bills' request, McCoy took down a flyer he'd posted on Instagram to promote the event because he used their team logo without permission.

"I should have never posted it and I take blame for it," McCoy told ESPN's Mike Rodak. "But for the record, it was no weird orgy thing going on."

McCoy was criticized for requiring women to submit a photo and their social media information and to sign a confidentiality agreement before they could be confirmed for the event.

In response to the criticism, McCoy initially posted the following sarcastic message on Instagram in which he invited virtually everyone to his party: "Since the media and Internet took my before camp party outta context, I had to switch up my party strategy. So tonight I'll be inviting everyone to my back to business party. Featuring DJ @DonaldTrump on the 1's and 2's. Special invited guests @RexRyan, @chipKelly, @Rogergodell, my man Barack .oprah, Carli Lloyd, and even that terrible waiter with the awful service from the burger joint is invited. Don't bring your Id because there won't be any alcohol anyway. Open smoothie bar all night tho. Don't worry bout the confidentiality agreement. Not only are ladies invited but everyone is invited, except hulk hogan he can't come. Maybe even @meekmill and @drake will hit the stage together. Turn up time party time !!!! #shadyinvite."

On Friday, McCoy said he simply wanted to throw a party for his teammates.

"I felt like it was like a thing I do every year with teammates. It's something I bring together with teammates, but I didn't do it this year," he said. "It got too wild."

Bills coach Rex Ryan joked that he was upset he didn't get invited to McCoy's bash.

"I did not get an invite," Ryan said. "I'm a little disappointed about that. But maybe next year."

McCoy played along with his coach, saying "He was pissed off that I didn't invite him. He gave like a whole speech for about two hours. 'You gotta be about the team! If one guy has women, we all need women.'

"Nah, I'm joking. He didn't say that. He didn't really talk about it."
