World Cup Is A Homosexual Abomination – Russian Priest
Leadership (Nigeria) ^ | 7/9/2014 | anonymous

Posted on 07/09/2014 5:06:00 AM PDT by tellw

The World Cup is “a homosexual abomination”, according to one angry Russian priest, who says male footballers may as well wear women’s underwear and bras.

Orthodox Christianity religious figure Alexander Shumsky came out with the controversial stance against the biggest single event sporting competition as it reaches the semi-final stage.

Although most people might see the different types and colours of boots adorned by footballers as a good variety, Shumsky slammed the choice of footwear and claims that liberals are trying to drown traditional Christianity with football.

“Wearing pink and blue shoes is like wearing women’s underwear or wearing a bra,” he ranted on Christian website Russian People’s Line.

“The liberal ideology of globalisation is opposed to Christian values with football. I’m sure of it.”

The pink and blue boots which Shumsky is referring to are PUMA Tricks, which were released shortly before the tournament and were worn in South American this summer by the likes of Italy’s Mario Balotelli, Spain’s Cesc Fabregas and Brazil’s Dante.

Russia, coached by Fabio Capello, were unable to scrape out of Group H and were sent packing early in the tournament but Shumsky is delighted that his compatriots made a swift exit.

“I am glad that Russia were eliminated and, by God’s grace, no longer participate in this homosexual abomination that is the World Cup.”

The Russian priest even took offence at footballers’ haircuts, branding them “unthinkable” during his controversial rant.

Fifa will be hoping that Shumsky represents a tiny minority of Russians as the nation will be hosting the World Cup in four years’ time.

I dislike the homofascist agenda, but damn if stories like this don’t help us when trying to appeal to the mushy middle. This story will be trumpeted far and wide, and used to smear all of us fighting against the unnatural pervs.

Well... he has a point.

But I am very biased against soccer.

I’m dumb because I hate soccer? I like football. That should prove I’m not that dumb.

Are you sure you aren’t talking about the San Francisco gay pride parade?

So am I and I don’t mind admitting it. I find it very un-American.

No, what’s dumb about what you said is that because you hate soccer, you agree with the Russian preist that soccer is a homosexual abomination. That is dumb. Seriously dumb.

Perhaps your intent was to be funny or mildly ironic, but no, it came across as simply dumb.

David Beckham started the white shoe trend in the late 90’s, and it went downhill from there—maybe the priest is right?

You’re the admitted soccer player on the thread, you tell us. Is your sport of choice a homosexual abomination?

I never understood the brouhaha over organized sports in the first place.

It seems like a lot of effort, noise and money for what amounts to nothing more than 'braggin' rights'.

Well, the NFL is going gay, too. I may have to just stick with NASCAR.

Actually, real men can wear pink if they want. They don’t have to prove anything to you or anyone else.

What colors soccer stars (or anyone else) wear is completely irrelevant to any discussion on homosexuality.

I’ll amend my previous post: If the soccer guys start wearing assless chaps, then it can be relevant to a discussion on homosexuality. Bright colored shoes and uniforms? No.

People dress to convey an image. Guys wearing pink or lime green or whatever just doesn't say "macho" to me. It says "I'm the girl"

We don't agree, for sure. That's the way opinions are.
