Was Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson fired for his Christian views on gay marriage? That's what Ann Killion is asking at sfgate.com, noting that Jackson's lukewarm reaction to the coming-out of Jason Collins, last year was something of a mismatch for the Bay Area, which is the global capital of gay politics and culture.
Killion writes:
Everything about Jackson was under scrutiny, which includes his very public persona as a religious man. It was probably not at the top of the list, but was probably on the list....
When Jason Collins made his historic pronouncement last year that he was gay, Jacksons immediate response came out sounding less-than-supportive.
I will say this, Jackson said the day of the news. We live in a country that allows you to be whoever you want to be. As a Christian man, I serve a God that gives you free will to be who you want to be. As a Christian man, I have beliefs of whats right and whats wrong. That being said, I know Jason Collins, I know his family, and am certainly praying for them at this time.

Over half the teams make the playoffs. Losing in the first round with all of his other problems is not good enough.

You are correct. I actually meant NBA, not MLB.
Their format is better than NFL or baseball. Top 8 in each conference make it. In the NFL some teams with winning records don’t make it and some with a sorry record or 8-8 will make it because they win their division.
Baseball they play for a decade and only a couple of teams make it in.
So being queer is just being honest?
