Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer sent an apology letter to a lesbian and gay advocacy group on campus for his plans to use lavender football jerseys as a form of punishment to players in practice according to 10TV.com and the OSU campus newspaper, The Lantern.

The lavender jersey would be given to a player caught "loafing" - or a moment of deceleration - for the second time during a conditioning drill. The concept was created by Ohio State strength and conditioning coach Mickey Marotti. The school will now use a different color.

Nope, they can’t have the rainbow. It’s a reminder of God’s promise to never again destroy the earth with water - no matter how wicked we become.

While that promise might alleviate some fear among those who engage in the great wickedness of sexual disorientation, the promise was made to all of us. And the beauty of God’s rainbow is for all to enjoy, not just the wicked.

homosexualization of the country right on track. Sexual deviants now hold great power over all of us.

It is a damn good thing the krauts and japs never figured out how to make explosives out of political correctness.

Doesn't matter - the chinks did.

“Spurrier would never have apologized.”

You are right. And neither would Saban.

Apology-Coach has learned from Obama. I can’t believe the players will continue to respect someone that caves in to the gay crowd. ....Wonder what the color pink, like Sheriff Joe uses, would stir up?
