I'm sure this guy really enjoyed your use of "snookums". well played.

Why on earth is he going to "most likely be a mediocre player at the professional level"? Because few sixth rounders are ever more than that?

OK, I'll bite. In the 1950's, self-described devout Christians used their faith to justify their bigotry towards African-Americans. They did the same to previously justify slavery, and to deny all manner of equal rights for women.

1) Not all gay people are mincing queens. Ever heard of bears? Tom of Finland? Rock Hudson? Guarantee you there have been past NFL players who were closeted, and their lack of "macho-ness" was not an issue.

Dungy: I was a bit surprised about the outcome here. When I last spoke to him, I did say that I noticed several matters that could become issues in the future. I did not wish to have direct involvement in those issues, but... [pauses] I certainly did not want to have a role in making those issues worse. If that was…

Except this ignores that gay men and women are in your locker rooms right now. In fact, they always have been.

At first I thought Dungy's son was a fucking coward, now I don't blame him one bit.

REPEAT: The media is not turning this into a distraction. It's just Christian bigots.

Would you rather we blame Jesus for his opinion? I hate X-tianity, but Jesus seems like he would be totally cool with having homosexuals on his team.

Don't worry, D'Brick's got this one.

And, if Tony Dungy were a real Christian, he may have one more son than he currently has.

But having said all that, I think it's important to recognize that that doesn't mean [you] have a right to [people being] comfortable with you.

This is only debated because of the undue influence and power the right wing, "conservative Christians" are given in this country.

"I wouldn't have taken him, Not because I don't believe Jackie Robinson should have a chance to play, but I wouldn't want to deal with all of it."

Almost every NFL draft pick who has ever been married/engaged/ in a serious relationship with a woman has been shown kissing her after his name gets called during the draft day broadcast. Literally no one gave a shit.

Especially if you believe the rumors regarding what lead to his son's suicide.

And we have every right to call him on that opinion being bullshit. See how that works?

Never understand comments like this. Everyone has a right to any opinion they want. So what?

Yeah, but that guy loves Jesus, and he only fell for the catfish scheme because he loves Jesus so hard.

So you wouldn't take him because he's gay and "omg guys couldn't handle it" but you are okay with someone who invents girlfriends for fake sympathy?
