Just got through watching the obvious one sided display by ESPN on gay athletes coming out and how they might be fired if they came out while playing and the ignorance of people who did not accept their lifestyle and gay marriage. All the gay current athletes on the panel wereblack and of course their were no current straight athletes on. Former NFL player and coach Herman Edwards and Former NHL Hockey player turned ESPNanalystBarry Melrose. ESPN sports commentator Jemel Hill also on the panel. All accepting of course the premise that it was ok with them that their teammate was gay, while being critical of anyone who might disagree with them, that they needed to educate themselves on the acceptance of gay marriage and that's how God created them.
Former NBA player Don Amaechi saying he may be fired if he would have come out. The last time I checked only straight people get fired or critisized for disagreeing with the gay lifestyle. As usual the two straight people on the panelEdwards and Melrose were obviously uncomfortable with the subject, for fear of saying the wrong thing and thus being firedby ESPN.I hope everyone on CF will contact ESPN as I did andtell themhowdispleased they were with the one sided discussion and the intolerance they showed toward straight people displayed on outside the lines. The last thing I want to see on ESPN is the whining of gay black athletes.
