Of course, I saw Reggie play football on TV many times. But I was most privileged to see and hear him at Promise Keepers last summer. The guy lived the Gospel, and gave a lot of time and money to helping people. A true role model in a time sorely needing role models.
So what does Google News put up? "Ex-NFL star, anti-gay preacher, dies". That's all the blog writer needed to know to consider Reggie unworthy of admiration. So much for tolerance.

When I die I hope the headline reads "anti-Democrat dies".
His speech made me a fan, not his playing.
Homosexuality is a decision?
Stupid press...this man wasn't anti-gay...he was pro-biblical design for men and women.
Heck, if that's on his gravestone, he should be proud. Two noble careers. One as a NFL lineman, the other as a bulwark against sodomy.
What do you think it is?
Well, it ain't a race.
No, it's a result of parental rape of a child.
You gay?
Hi MaineRepublic,
I didn't intend to turn this into a 'What's the cause of homosexuality?' thread. There are plenty of those around here.
Do you think Reggie's comments make him unworthy of general admiration for his life?
-- Joe
There's no scientific evidence that it's anything else.
Reggie was All Pro God
He feared the Almighty One...and tried to bring the message of salvation and the need for obedience to God's word into the world he was born in and into the did the work God gave him to do.
I believe Reggie was welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven with the words of his Lord and Savior..."Well done..good and faithfull servant"
"Ex-NFL star, anti-gay preacher, dies" ... and what's wrong with being in strict oppostion to filth, vileness, perversion, sickness, depravity, repugnance, wrong doing and just plain evil?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
Also, this gay flap was such a small part of his life.
-- Joe
Do you honestly think that all homosexuals were sexually abused as children?
Sounds to me that Reggie was pretty much on the mark.
Exactly.
It was a microscopicly tiny part of a very large, well lived, loving, kind, Godly, virtuous life which blessed everyone it touched.
Leave it to the lefties to ignore the ocean of virtue in favor of a small piece of driftwood on which they build their opinions.
