The Inside Story of How the NFL's Plan for Its 1st Openly Gay Player Fell Apart

[SkinBasket]

Amazing how vitally, massively important this was to several people on this board (and our entire society apparently), and now that it's becoming a reality right before their eyes, they have nothing to say about it. It's almost like it doesn't matter. Hmmmmmmmmm....

A San Diego State running back left the NFL Combine on Sunday in Indianapolis without running the forty, showing off his vertical leap, or pushing 225 pounds above his chest. His reason? God told him to depart.

"(God) told me to sit down, be quiet, and enjoy the peace," Adam Muema told the San Diego Union-Tribune. The prosepct believes that God speaks to him through numbers, and that exiting the combine would make it likely that the Seattle Seahawks, his "dream" desitination, would select him in the draft. "Can't go wrong with God," Muema reasoned.

Before divine intervention, analysts projected Muema as a late-round pick. He rushed for almost five yards a carry for the Aztecs, scoring fifteen touchdowns and accumulating 1,244 yards on the ground.

You know I have to wonder... This guy is being labeled a whack-a-doo for believing in and adhering to his personal relationship with God. I have to wonder, but not too hard, what the reaction would be if he were skipping the combine to protest the obviously overt and intentional anti-gayness that dominates the NFL... according to some anyway.

You've already seen the answer. Derision for the former, a standing ovation for the latter.

3/4 young people support gay marriage. 3/4 think religion is hateful and bigoted. The future is set.

Arizona passes a law to protect religious rights (and gay rights actually) in the face of suits against people who choose not to engage in practices with which they disagree, and the NFL (as well as many other groups) threaten boycott. McBain and Flakey oppose the law too. I suspect they haven't read it, don't understand it, but are bowing to economic terrorism. If you really care for an in depth analysis (not likely in this culture), here you go:

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

Burke was anticipating officials like Attorney General Eric Holder who is calling for state attorneys general to consider not defending amendments in state constitutions that define marriage traditionally. So states' top law enforcement officers are encouraged to ignore their state's constitution that they swore to protect and upheld.

Nice. Welcome to Zimbabwe.

So gay-outters, when can the world change now there is an openly gay football player being paraded in front of world by CNN, ESPN, the first "lady" and every left wing rag in the nation? Do we have to wait until he's drafted, or until he secures a roster spot (if he doesn't, I can only imagine the reasons that will be foisted upon us from some political corners), or is it like Obamacare, where we have to wait for something considered positive to happen to find out, like 2017? Just wondering when this long dreamed of goal starts affecting all the change you think has to happen to our obviously gay hating society.

Also, I haven't noticed the massive "religious right wing" outcry. Did I miss something?

Confused by what you're shocked by. Maybe that you were totally wrong? Otherwise, I'm sure you'll present some examples from the "religious right wing," whatever that really means, other than being a convenient political bromide for leftists and progressives who can't defend their own beliefs so turn to labeling and attacking others.

Why should it matter.

The fella gets drafted and try's to make the teams roster just the same as any other new NFL prospect.

End of story.

Glad to see you've changed your mind.

Glad to see you've changed your mind.

Actually that's always been my position. I'm Pro Choice and selection of a sexual partner.

If I was ever homophobic living nearby Montreal, Canada certainly acted as a deterrant and that nonsence.

It's never going to be if you can't beat em join em thing ; but certainly it makes zero sence to not accept the GAY lifestyle as it's upfront here to stay.

18.4% — The proportion of all same-sex couples who resided in Montréal in 2006.

21.2% — The proportion of all same-sex couples who resided in Toronto in 2006.

10.3% — The proportion of all same-sex couples who resided in Vancouver in 2006.

Actually that's always been my position.

Except you want it to "not matter" via everyone agreeing with your position supporting the fallacy known as "gay rights," whereas I want it not to matter because no one cares, which is true equality. You want re-education and the violation of religious freedoms and principles to eliminate what you see as intolerance from your left eye dominant perspective. I simply want apathy, which to a large extent, already exists outside of the gay activist circles.

Hopefully apathy comes after educating.

Homosexual activists aim to ‘destroy the family’, impose ‘totalitarianism’: gay pro-family activist

by Hilary White, Rome Correspondent

Thu Feb 27, 2014 18:41 EST

ROME - " February 27, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – “I am a homosexual, but I’m against ‘gay marriage,’” a French pro-family activist told an Italian Catholic opinion paper earlier this month.

Jean-Pier-Delaume Myard, spokesman for Manif Pour Tous, told La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana that the “sole purpose” of the homosexualist “gay rights” movement is “destroying the family.”

[SkinBasket]

So... A gay Frenchman and an Italian Catholic walk into a bar?

Not seeing how this has anything to do with gay football players.

[SkinBasket]

Hopefully apathy comes after educating.

Apathy and acceptance already exist save for you activists, who will settle for nothing less than enthusiastic celebration. See gay football player as exhibit 1A.

Your "educating" is nothing more than illogical, intolerant, ignorant (and mostly incoherent) propaganda that folds in on itself upon any kind of objective inspection. See this thread as exhibit 2A.

It's great you're not afraid of fags anymore, but don't transpose your past sins on the rest of us to try to ease your conscience.

Afraid of what?

If fear is a sin...I'm clear there. I don't frighten easily.
