ESPN Apologizes for Discussion in Which Christian Commentator Said Gay Sex is a Sin
Creative Minority Report ^ | 4/30/13 | Matthew Archbold

Posted on 05/02/2013 7:42:29 AM PDT by marshmallow

In a discussion about an NBA player coming out as gay, ESPN commentator Chris Broussard said on the air that he's a follower of Jesus Christ and believes that homosexuality is against God’s law.

“I’m a Christian,” he stated. “I don’t agree with homosexuality. I think it’s a sin. I think all sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman is [sin].”

Today, ESPN issued sort of an apology, saying:

“We regret that a respectful discussion of personal viewpoints became a distraction from today’s news. ESPN is fully committed to diversity and welcomes Jason Collins’ announcement.”

Not much of a respectful discussion if you don’t allow opposing viewpoints. Good for Chris Broussard.

Wow. To ESPN, you’re sinning if you’re married to the opposite sex! “We welcome Jasons comments...”!?

ESPN celebrates diversity in everything except thought, belief and speech.

It’ll be a pleasure to not watch them any more.

Throw in that Fox Sports is telling us that the only true Christians support gay propaganda and it looks worse.

Finally, something decent comes out of ESPN, and they try to cover it up.

Diversity?? Why don't they just say fully committed to the HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA.

Ask Rush Limbaugh how “diversity” works on ESPN. I’m guessing Broussard’s fate will be the same as Rush’s with them.

How about apologizing to the Christians for every time you bashed them?

Again, this issue is NOT about tolerance; it is about the DEMAND to accept, to embrace, to LOVE perversion. Next time a brother or sister says “let live”, tell them that it isn’t about that. It is about the destruction of YOUR moral foundation and bowing to the god of this age.

“ESPN is fully committed to diversity”

Ok, so let me get this straight, they are committed to diversity but apologize for diverse comments? That statement is in of itself intolerant and hypocritical.

We regret that ESPN is so narrow-minded that they require everyone to think as ordered. Instead of pointing out that a washed-up player who was averaging media for fools with his Homosexual Circus, they viciously attacked a Christian for daring to witness to the biblical view of homosexuality that has been taught for thousands of years by all major religions.

Religious leaders have been conspicuously silent.
