Justin Verlander would accept a gay teammate....

In an interview with CNN’s Carol Costello today Justin Verlander made it clear he’d have no problem playing alongside a gay teammate, saying:
"I wouldn’t mind it. … We got 25 guys, it’s a family, and our goal is to win a World Series. What your sexual orientation is, I don’t see how that affects the ultimate goal of our family.
I’m sure there are. I think as with any sport, a gay player would be hesitant to come out, but the sheer number says there absolutely is. Yeah, I don’t see why not, given the right situation, and a team that’s a family atmosphere, and I feel like we have that atmosphere here. I don’t think one of our players would be scared to come out."
Which is interesting since Torii Hunter said, "For me, as a Christian … I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it’s not right,” he says. “It will be difficult and uncomfortable.”

Somebody should tell Torii Hunter some of the fricked up stuff that's in the Bible and see if he still follows it to a tee, which I'm sure he currently does.

well said Verlander
Hunter apparently hasn't read the teachings of Christ

That's irrelevant since gay men don't play sports. They are too busy tickling each others' buttholes and shopping for clothes

I totally disagree with Hunter but I respect him for being honest.

Ah Torii, if only you knew...

they should ask Torii if he's actually ever read the bible

This is ridiculous. Why does it matter what their beliefs are? Let them go out and play the game and let us go be fans for them for the way they play. Not their views on political matters. How have we allowed things like their views on homosexuality to creep into the perfect game? It's disgraceful really. I'm tired of hearing about gay rights all over the place they're shoving it down our throats.
FWIW, I'm not for gay rights. But it wouldn't affect me if they were allowed to marry. Just strictly a belief thing.

Yeah let's bash Torri Hunter because he said he'd be uncomfortable with a gay teammate.. If any of you have every played sports on a high level you would know a lockeroom could very much be affected by a homosexual.

Of course he would. That would be one less person in the Tigers clubhouse trying to sleep with Kate Upton.

I hope he realizes that he has played with a gay teammate.
ETA: He does.
