Reggie White was an outspoken Christian, an ordained minister, iIRC, who had a stellar, HoF career.
BTW, HoF = Hall of Fame.
Thank you for bringing up Reggie White.
Mr. White's Wikipedia entry says: In an interview with ABC's 20/20, White made comments about gays and lesbians. White became an ally of organizations opposed to homosexuality; he appeared in a newspaper advertising campaign to convince gays and lesbians that they could “cease” their homosexuality. As a result, CBS withdrew a five-year, $6-million contract for being a part of the The NFL Today because of his statements calling homosexuality a sin.[28][29] Both the Green Bay Packers and the NFL objected to the ads, since White had appeared in his football uniform without the consent of the team or the league. Later versions of the ad removed the uniform.
This reinforces what I wrote earlier:
Now, the core problem. Every NFL coach and owner knows that Tim Tebow is just one Christian testimony away from destroying their franchise. All Tebow has to do is to state that he believes marriage is between one man and one woman and all the demons in hell and the lamestream media will descend on the team. The owner may very well be forced to sell by the NFL. And that is the real reason no one wants to take a risk with Tebow.
