This may go some way to explain what’s happening to Tim Tebow.

And speaking of professional basketball expertise. Why is Collins on the cover of SI?

Collins is playing the mediots and the homo enthusiasts. A real show of “courage” would have been to come out at the peak of his career. Now it simply looks like what it is: A pathetic, cynical ploy to try to stay in the league (you can bet Stern will pressure...or “incent”...some crap team to take him on) or get an “analyst” job. And you can’t spell “analyst” without “anal”!

Why aren't they apologizing for their liberal views on homosexuality?

Fortunately for Broussard he’s black, or he’d be long gone. ESPN will ease him out the door though. It’s unacceptable to be openly Christian.

I was glad to hear a dissenting view, but I’d be much happier if they’d all just shut up about it. I just don’t want to know about someone’s sexuality.

Broussards comments are far more brave to me than Collins’.

ESPN is fully committed to diversity as long as no one has any dissenting thoughts or opinions whatsoever.

“Collins’ beautiful announcement”

There's nothing beautiful about what he does.

If you think this was a ‘beautiful announcement’; you might be a communist.

Love the sinner. Hate the sin sex. Where are the Christian religious leaders?

And now ESPN has been forced to apologize.

ESPN wasn't "forced" to do anything. They did it willingly, to preserve the full-court press, if you will, against traditional Christian values.

"…. What I would like to know, therefore, is why they put Broussard Collins on the air to discuss his personal feelings about Collins, homosexuality, and Christianity, rather than his area of professional expertise — basketball — in the first place..."

“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.”

I do not see where the commentator criticized Collin's announcement. He stated his thoughts on homosexuality. He did not discuss Collin's sexual preferences or deride the for "being gay." He only commented on his beliefs concerning same sex and bi-sexual fornication (outside of marriage).

Comments glorifying Collin's announcement as beautiful are what is akward. Would an announcement about someone having a sexual foot fetish also be beautiful? Why is this even news?

Somebody get me in front of a camera, quick. I want to announce that I am bald and fat. Then maybe I can sell autographs. And bald, fat men around the world will feel better about themselves.

ESPN categorically rejects Christianity and therefore all Christians. Blatant anti-Diversity.

Their policy regarding hiring them is 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' And if you tell, you're gonna be fired.
