It has nothing to do with Christians. The question is whether black players will be allowed to voice their opinion without being attacked by white management.

Plus since when can your employer fine you for something you said on your own time? I would contest the fine.

...actually he’s probably a homobarf. He don’t fear them, but they disgust him. That’s how God feels about them. The definition of “abomination” is “disgusting.”

There is no apologizing for thoughtcrime. There is only punishment.

As I understand the NFL’s new unwritten rules...any subject in the Oxford English Dictionary is fair game except two...race and sex. We can rip Johnny Football til doomsday, we can mock players’ wives/girlfriends, we can chortle at DUI arrests, domestic violence, drug use/busts, bad clothing choices, silly car accessories, taste in music, etc.

But when it comes to confused, weak-minded males looking for love in the wrong body cavity of the wrong sex, suddenly we have created The Protected Class To Be Shielded From All Disapproval, Criticism & Revulsion.

In a sport where equal application of the rules is required for competitive balance and a sport with a near-constant amount of trash-talking, much of which has always centered on a lack of masculine attributes and a surfeit of feminine ones (however imaginary), it will be interesting, though entirely predictable, to see the referee, line judge, umpire, etc. add the title of Thought Police to their responsibilities.

As I write this, Roger Goodell is in his ivory tower printing The New Rules Of The Protected Class. Because he’s a lawyer, a liberal and entirely convinced that a sports league is no different from a widget making business.

Mike Ditka and every other self-respecting heterosexual commentator must be considering retirement. The alternative is to talk about sodomy rather than football for an entire preseason and beyond.

I would guess there is something in the player's contract about actions "negatively reflecting on the team" or some such.

I am sick of people having to apologize for saying what they think. Even if what they say is offensive to someone.

Sam has become a hero for professing his sexual preference but Tebow became a pariah for professing his Christianity. Why is that? I guess is OK to be a homosexual but not a Christian.

"Why aren’t Christians boycotting the NFL??? Too hooked on worshipping sports rather than God. The First Commandment: You shall have no other gods except Me."

This whole celebration of depravity has pretty much pushed me over the edge.....

Outrageous when you consider what kind of union dues he must be paying to the NFLPA.

Speak for yourself. A bunch of poofters playing in poo is disgusting, but not worthy of removing those who don’t partake in such acts.

I love my Cleveland Browns. I love the Dawg Pound. . . but I’m on the verge of giving up on the National Faggot League. How can God honor a league that celebrates depravity? I,m tired of AMC, VISA, and all the other sponsers of sodomy. Who will stand up fro righteousness?

Well you can take matters in your own hands by doing what I will do, not watch any more NFL games........

I’ll bet 3-4 more conservatives will do the same, to support this type of behavior is the same as doing it, after all, do you go to a doctors office who also does abortions.....

Well why support the NFL when the suppress free speech, look what they did with Rush, of course he is spineless and still blindly following the Steeler’s.......

Reminds me of the followers of Jim Jones....

So we now have another privileged class to contend with. Funny how it is so easy to condemn normal people for thought. Soon there will be secret agencies spying on us to make sure we don’t think the wrong thoughts, and, if we do there will be camps to straighten us out.

The bad thing is, he’s already apologized.

He needs to show that he's REALLY sorry. He needs to play tonsil hockey with Michael Sam and post it on Facebook.

If you are not willing to make out with another man, then you must still think it is yucky. Don Jones needs to prove that he's not a homophobe by becoming a homo... or at least a Bisexual or Transsexual or some perverted sexual deviant.

Oops, did I say perverted sexual deviant?
