Idiot ESPN Writer Pretends to Be the Voice of God While Talking Shit About Jason Collins.
I remember reading something a few years ago about how 99% of NBA players cheat on their girlfriends/wives while on the road. Whatever the actual number, there is probably no profession on earth where extra-marital sex is so common.
It's mind-boggling that Broussard can profess to "walk with the Lord" while he promotes/exalts the Godless NBA and its lifestyle. Isn't that kind of like a devout jew working as a p.r. flack for a concentration camp?

Seahawks Say They Are Fine With Player's Anti-Gay Comments (Updated).
Someone needs to ask Clemons why he didn't criticize Tim Tebow when he was grabbing all the headlines in 2011.
Nobody in the NFL in the last 20 years has been a bigger distraction to their team.
Why is it okay when Tebow said he hoped to use his public profile to spread God's word, but it's not okay for a gay NFL player to spread the message that everybody has a place on the team?

Not all pro athletes believe what Chris Clemons believes. I am a huge sports fan and one thing you learn about sports is that the best teams are like families. They stick up for, and support each other.
The question I have for Clemons is, if his brother or sister were gay, would he support them coming out?
I believe most of today’s professional athletes (remember most were born after 1980) would support their siblings regardless of who they choose to marry. A lot have said so.
Charles Barkley, a long-time supporter of gay marriage and gay rights, says he knows he had gay teammates and couldn't care less.
Buffalo Bills safety George Wilson said of a gay teammate, “As long as you can stay productive and get the job done, you’re still gonna remain one of the guys.”
Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman Ray Edwards said of the prospect of a gay teammate, “I’d be very open to it. ... I don’t have a problem with it at all.”
Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander said in a CNN interview: “I don’t think one of our players would be scared to come out. We got 25 guys, it’s a family, and our goal is to win a World Series. What your sexual orientation is, I don’t see how that affects the ultimate goal of our family."
“For me, it’s obvious that everyone should have the same rights and ability to play the game. It doesn’t matter race or sexual orientation."

These pros make me glad to be an athletic supporter!
