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.

You don't think their beliefs matter?

Well that's not what this is about. At all.

Nice. Your dad was probably saying the same thing about integrating the game 50 years ago. Who wants to hear the political views of some hippie/commie player who's willing to play with blacks?

Lol at you being upset about a player stating his acceptance of people who are different.

Only reason it is news is because everyone wants to know, once a few players come out then it won't be as big. First player who comes out with have a ton of media but next few wont have to deal with as much scrutiny

I don't understand this? What rights are you against for gay people? How do you feel about rights of black people, Asians, or women?
