"He [Pat Tillman] talked about gays,'' Lyle Setencich, the former ASU assistant said. "He asked me, 'Could you coach gays?' " Not exactly surprising that hit-piece on Tillman came from the SF Chronicle, nor is it surprising that the author attempts to portray him as "homophobic."

nor is it surprising that the author attempts to portray him as "homophobic."I read the implications in the totally opposite sense. Rather than implying he was homophobic, they are implying he was gay. Especially when you put the football coach's comments together with incident of showing up at a baptism dressed as the "godmother."

They didn't attempt to portray him as homophobic - if anything, the article makes it seem as is he was homo-friendly - concerned enought to ask a coach about the issue. I don't see this as a hit-piece - it all seems quite complimentary. Not in the way that other articles about Tillman have been, but complinmentary nonetheless.
