what will (should) ESPN do ?

[Blake]

Ok in closing....

Football isn't a place to be a homosexual. We all know this, why some need to play silly ass games...??? These players are big and bad they and vicious. They are ...MACHO! Some gay dude with a gay boyfriend...hahahaha!!!!!!! That ain't gonna work and only a bunch of morons would think it would.

Ok people have at your fantasy world having nothing to do with real life.

And exactly what do you think the macho guys will do to the gay 320lb offensive lineman?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The Romans and Greeks used to have ass sex orgies the day before battles and still would kick ass. Bacchus worshipers were prevalent in the Hellenic age through the classic era. You know they guys that defeated the Persian empire, created the first western empire and the greatest empire the world has ever seen?

The ancient hebrews who started the homophobic thing that grew into the current christian based homophobia used to get their asses kicked constantly. They were made slaves had 6/7 of their people annihilated etc.

Cultural naivety and hubris is the American way though.

[Woo Bum-kon]

Broussard is just a Christian expressing typical Christian values. Nothing to see here.

[DMC]

Dude was Gay already. Admitting it just makes him an honest fag. That's better than someone goober gazing you and lying about it.

[Spurminator]

I don't get this idea people have that sports should be apolitical, when they have always been extremely political.

I don't think they should be apolitical. They should absolutely analyze this based on its affect within sports, and even as a part of the national conversation. But I'm not sure where analysis of how legitimate a Christian Jason Collins is fits into the sports/political conversation. That shit is for Bible school.

[coyotes_geek]

But I'm not sure where analysis of how legitimate a Christian Jason Collins is fits into the sports/political conversation. That shit is for Bible school.

Meh. Looks to me like Collins opened that door when he said this.


"I'm from a close-knit family. My parents instilled Christian values in me. They taught Sunday school, and I enjoyed lending a hand. I take the teachings of Jesus seriously, particularly the ones that touch on tolerance and understanding. On family trips, my parents made a point to expose us to new things, religious and cultural. In Utah, we visited the Mormon Salt Lake Temple. In Atlanta, the house of Martin Luther King Jr. That early exposure to otherness made me the guy who accepts everyone unconditionally."


Had Collins not said the above, I'd agree with you that Broussard wouldn't have any businesses going where he did.

[DarrinS]

Now that I've seen who this Chris Broussard actually is (I didn't know his name), I think he'll just get a slap on the wrist.

Wisconsin Church Cancels Former NFL Player’s Speech For Supporting Jason Collins (http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2013/05/01/1949581/wisconsin-church-cancels-former-nfl-players-speech-for-supporting-jason-collins/)

Wow, I was schedule to speak at a church in WI, and a member said that the pastor wants to cancel my event, I said ok why? Then I was told, because I said congrats to Jason Collins on twitter, I said really? we have a contract, he said check the moral cause. FYI the fee was 8500$,then I was told if i removed the tweet, and apologize and ask god forgiveness, I can have the event, I said no.
Then later (https://twitter.com/leap36/status/329645694749134848):

I found out what happened, I guess some parents went to the church and complained about my tweet for support of Jason Collins, so sad.

http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2013/05/01/1949581/wisconsin-church-cancels-former-nfl-players-speech-for-supporting-jason-collins/

What would Jesus do, hate the same?

[leemajors]

No, Jesus was fairly clear - love everyone except the gay ones.

“Everybody’s got their own business,” Popovich said. “(In) today’s day and age, it’s too bad it has to be such an amazing thing for everybody to talk about. It’s nobody’s business. I could care less if somebody’s gay or not gay. It’s personal choices. He’s no different than anybody else to me.”


It’s crazy that in 2013, somebody says it, and it is a big shock, and everybody is talking about it,” Ginobili said. “It should be normal, and he shouldn’t even have to announce it or say it. Nobody should care. But I know that, in his situation, he’s in a tough spot, and it’s hard not to lead your life freely.“He has guts. It’s not easy to do and, hopefully, he helps more people be free with their bodies and feel like themselves.”
Ginoibili awaits the time when such news will be greeted with a collective yawn.
“I don’t think that in other countries it would be such a big thing,” he said. “For example, in France, or even in Argentina. But here it’s a little different in that regard, and there has never been an NBA player or male major sports athlete to announce it. So that’s why the first one is always big news.

[spursncowboys]

Whatever, Collins was smart to come out of the closet. Wizards are almost guaranteed to offer him a new contract now so they don't look like homophobes.
I agree. For a crappy old player, this was a smart move. Now he's a marketing commodity.

[Th'Pusher]

Now that I've seen who this Chris Broussard actually is (I didn't know his name), I think he'll just get a slap on the wrist.
How did seeing him change your calculation?

[DarrinS]

How did seeing him change your calculation?

Just a gut feeling.

[hater]

Broussard used his position as sports commentator to spew "Christian/Bible/Jesus" LGBT hate. fuck him. and fire him

:lmao

Have you heard of the right to freedom of speech given by the US Constitution?

wow

[hater]

oh and agree with Manu. U.S. of a A. is a backwards ass country. Like I said before, it's a country where top 1% likes to keep their middle class as ignorant and stupid as possible. What transpired this past week is living proof of this.

in this case, ESPN should do whatever is in the best interest of ESPN.

[exstatic]

Nothing should be done. However ignorant or intolerant his opinion is to some people, he was at the end of the day, offering his opinion when ESPN brought him on air to discuss the topic. It's a shame people can't speak their minds nowadays.

Is Broussard in jail? No? Then he was allowed to speak his mind, as were people who disagree with him.

No one's opinion is unchallengable.

if Tom Brady said he was gay, what these big bad footballers do to him?

Answer in detailed specifics please.

[Avante]

if Tom Brady said he was gay, what these big bad footballers do to him?

Answer in detailed specifics please.

If Brady came out right now and admitted he's gay nothing would happen to him, he's Tom Brady.

Now answer me this...

Amos Strong is a rookie back out of Delaware State, he doesn't admit anything he just has a boyfriend, now be honest what do you think his teammates will be thinking?

Me and the wife have a few friends that are couples, we get together now and then, do you really think Amos and his boyfriend.........................

[Trainwreck2100]

.......................fuck each other in the ass, probably they're gay

[Avante]

One stupid post after another, sheesh~~~~~~~~~~

[Blake]

If Brady came out right now and admitted he's gay nothing would happen to him, he's Tom Brady.

wow, that outright backpedal was admittedly unexpected.


Now answer me this...

Amos Strong is a rookie back out of Delaware State, he doesn't admit anything he just has a boyfriend, now be honest what do you think his teammates will be thinking?

The ignorant ones will be thinking "wtf He's going to want to fuck me in the shower!"

Now answer what these ignorant tough guys will do about it?


Me and the wife have a few friends that are couples, we get together now and then, do you really think Amos and his boyfriend.........................

........what?

[Blake]

One stupid post after another, sheesh~~~~~~~~~~

yeah, you can stop any time you want.

you should get out more any way.

[Avante]

wow, that outright backpedal was admittedly unexpected.

........what?

Not backpeddling at all, as usual you try to cherry pick when you know I was talking about in general.

So tell me little man why haven't we seen a "known" gay NFL player yet? Could it be they know nobody would be cool with it? Just the ignorant ones, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh hell yes having a real dick sucker in the clubhouse super intelligent, hahaha!!!!!!!!

I'll go slow, do your best.

Married couples hang out together, or just couples, do you really think any guy and his wife/girlfriend would want to hang out with Amos and his lover?

[Avante]

yeah, you can stop any time you want.

you should get out more any way.

I can see why she dumped your ass, you're an idiot.

[Blake]

Now answer what these ignorant tough guys will do about it

[Avante]

They will do all they can to ignore him. They will poke fun at him behind his back. No way in hell they want to be caught alone with him. That's his teammates.

In a game the opposing team will constantly be reminding him of his sexual preference, I guarantee it. The fans will try to be cool, and will be if he can play, if he costs them a game however, guess what?

[ChumpDumper]

Married couples hang out together, or just couples, do you really think any guy and his wife/girlfriend would want to hang out with Amos and his lover?Um, hetero couples hang out with gay and lesbian couples all the time.

Just because you and your wife are homophobes doesn't mean everyone else in the world is.

[Avante]

Um, hetero couples hang out with gay and lesbian couples all the time.

Just because you and your wife are homophobes doesn't mean everyone else in the world is.

No just the bigger %,And what percentage would that be?

[Avante]

And what percentage would that be?

Well when we take into consideration whole countries where being gay simply won't work what do you think? Try being gay in Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Idaho, Utah, Nebraska, good luck.

Dude, do you honestly believe two guys carrying on like a man and his woman is really what people want to see, even you can't be that damn dense. What's mom and dad think about it?

[ChumpDumper]

Well when we take into consideration whole countries where being gay simply won't work what do you think? Try being gay in Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Idaho, Utah, Nebraska, good luck.There are gays in every one of those states, and every state you listed except for Nebraska has had an openly gay elected official at at least the state legislature level. I'm sure there are some places where it is more difficult because of prejudiced people who aren't very smart such as yourself.


Dude, do you honestly believe two guys carrying on like a man and his woman is really what people want to see, even you can't be that damn dense.They aren't going to have sex in front of their friends. I don't know what you do with your friends.
What's mom and dad think about it?Who? About what?

I live in a town of about 60, 000 here in central Cali, trust me a couple gay guys hanging all over each other would turn heads and no no heads would turn over a guy and his girl. That's normal.

Homosexuality in Utah?

Would you want your son being gay? I know I know you'd love him anyway and all that but if ya had a choice,, well?

[ChumpDumper]

Who is talking about having sex dummy how about showing affection, ya know hugging and kissing.Men hug men all the time in the NFL. Does that make you sick?


Why did you ignore countries?You vomited out a list of states. Sure there are countries that are worse about it than others, but there are still gays there.

[ChumpDumper]

What do little kids think seeing two dudes kissing?Probably "Two dudes are kissing."
Where are our two gay guys doing commercials? What product would want to be associated with that?Many, many products. It's not an unattractive demographic in many ways.

Go ahead and browse the ad library here and find out how many products want to be associated with the gay:

So you would just as soon be gay, right?

Go check out Google and all the nations and how many are no on homosexuality. I know I know they are all ignorant and....hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All those religious people, billions of them all ignorant, right?

I've got a serious question for you:

If your friend gets bit on the dick by a snake and the only way to save him was to suck the venom out, what would you do?

Let's take it a step further and say he was getting aroused. Do you continue to suck on the cock, or do you let your friend die?

Serious question.
