Rocker offended everyone. Smoltz has said something in the context of an interview that is at most ill considered. Saying that the legalization of gay marriage might lead to the legalization of animal marriage does not compare homosexual sex to bestiality. It is merely a statement that once the traditional definition of marriage has been broken down, it will be hard to limit what is an acceptable definition of marriage. This is not a controversial statement, IMHO.
Add to that the fact that Smoltz is an all around great guy who does not go out of his way to be controversial and is about five orders of magnitude smarter than Rocker, and I think this will be put to be quickly.
BTW, did you know that Smoltz tithes? Can you imagine having a parishioner tithe that sort of salary to your church? It would sure make the annual budget meeting to a whole lot smoother!
At my church about 10 years ago we had a kid drafted into the major leagues in the first round. He is the son of a pastor and is quite devout. The church was able to pay off a few debts with the kid's signing bonus tithe.
Wrong.
I wasn't offended.
No one I know who has ridden the 7th train to Shea disagrees with him.
Man ... are you out of touch. You need a "vacation" in NYC, and while you're there take a trip on the "wild" side. The subway system. Say a trip to Shea Stadium?
Smoltz also is trying to help establish a parochial school to knock out the stupidity of government schools. He's used his millions wisely to invest in Georgians' future.
Smoltz is awesome and there's a good chance he'll be in the Baseball HOF.
