'How ready is the NBA and the locker rooms for having an openly gay teammate?'
(BREITBART) While the left lectures Americans about the historic breakthrough made by NBA free agent Jason Collins in announcing his sexuality and calls for well-deserved tolerance, they are on full-out attack against ESPN commentator Chris Broussard for expressing his Christian views. And now ESPN has been forced to apologize.
It all started when Broussard appeared on "Outside the Lines" to talk about Collins. Appearing with ESPN senior writer LZ Granderson, who is openly gay, Broussard was asked by the host, "How ready is the NBA and the locker rooms for having an openly gay teammate?"
Broussard answered, "The climate in society is very set for this thing to happen …. A lot of people feel like if you come out and say you don't agree with homosexuality, you are viewed as a bigot, you are viewed as intolerant. So I think the climate is right for somebody to come out and say they are gay. I've been texting with players, GMs, coaches, agents throughout the day … and it's been overwhelmingly supportive of Jason, from former teammates to guys who have played against him." Broussard acknowledged that a few players said they might be uncomfortable with a gay player in the showers, but that "I don't think you'll see somebody come out and be against this, whether because of their true feelings or because of political correctness."
