New York Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy will no longer address his religious beliefs and will stick to baseball, a team spokesman said Wednesday.

On Tuesday, MLB ambassador for inclusion Billy Bean addressed Mets players after general manager Sandy Alderson invited him. Murphy subsequently told media that day that while he would embrace Bean as a teammate, he does not approve of his homosexuality. Bean concealed his sexual orientation during his playing career and later said that he was gay.

If you want to be a martyr go ahead but in today's environment better just to keep one's mouth shut. There is a double standard in the Jason Collins of the world can talk all they want while others are forced to be silent.

Murphy doesn’t approve. So now he’s supposed to approve?

Does he have to attend a class on tolerance, diversity, inclusion, hope, change, we can do it, get movin and all the other catch phrase words idiot liberals use?

I think it’s time we face the facts. Butt holes are meant for exiting not entering. I guess they’re hoping for some evolutionary change? Would I say that at my school? No, and I hope no one finds out I wrote it.

There was a time,a least,when a guy entering the military was warned “don't drop the soap”.A warning like that today would get someone sued.

I wonder how Jean Shepherd was fair today as a Mets-associated personality

[demshateGod]

Yeah. So a Christian is forced to shut up while a Sodomite is asked speak out. The Bible, a 6,000 year old book that was written over 4,000 years and has directed the life-style of countless people, has led to advances in society the world has never known is very explicit on homosexuality. There’s something asymmetrical about all this.

I read Psalm 25 this morning.
Psa 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Tolerance. If you know what’s good for you.

Billy Bean the homo ball player is not Billy Beane the Oakland A’s GM portrayed in the movie “Moneyball.” Poor Billy Beane. If Billy Beane goes out and says “I am not homosexual” he will probably be banned from the game like Pete Rose.

Send Murphy lots of letters. I’m sure he’d appreciate some support.
