Quote:No, the place for the coverage of it is on NFL network and ESPN, where a young gay man interested in football will actually see the coverage. Your statement really gets to the crux of the issue, your idea that not only should gay people be made to feel unaccepted, but that the media should insulate you from things you feel uncomfortable with.

 

By the way, I think most "young gay men interested in football" are just like you and me.   They want to see football.   I can't speak for them, but I know a few of them, and I believe most of them would be more interested in the games themselves than in this individual player.  Sure, they're rooting for him to succeed, but beyond that, they're just rooting for their teams to win.
