    If I thought it would do any good, I might. But they don't work for ESPN.

    "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." The framers all signed it.

    Shooter, if CB said " I think all whites are the devil and should be spat on" I'm sure you would agree that ESPN should and would fire him. It's their prerogative who they employ. Now CB did not say anything as inflamitory as I suggested, but it's still their prerogative who they employ. I personally believe he will not be fired, but it's a real possibility. CB made a choice to speak his mind and now must suffer any consequences. I would hope that instead of being fired, some people involved in the gay community would talk long and hard with him and hopefully convince him to be more open and accepting. Like with Kobe, he said some shitty derogatory things and has come around enough that he was one of the first to tweet his support of Collins.

    You are such a typical ignorant American.

    I hope they terminate Broussard - not because of his ignorant comments, but because I've always found him to be a terrible basketball analyst/insider. He's not a particularly good speaker and never brings anything of value to a broadcast.

    Yes, all men are "created" equal, but what they choose to do with their lives, and the decisions they make, is another matter. The framers never meant to protect the rights NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association, or adulterers, or people who want to have sex with family members, or with animals. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are not documents that give us carte blanche rights to any kind of behavior under the sun.

    Do you "accept" the guys in NAMBLA (the North American Man/Boy Love Association)? Do you support people who engage in bestiality or incest or adultery? If the answer to any of those things is no, then why don't others have a right to say they don't approve of homosexuality?

    Although, does Shooter's use of NAMBLA mean that he disapproves less of adults who abuse children of the opposite sex?

    People have the same right to say they don't approve of homosexuality as others have to say they do approve. And ESPN has the right to fire an employee who goes on television while on the job and talks about things they are not hired to talk about, especially if those things harm the company's brand. I'm not saying they will or should, but they can.

    The fact that you compare pedophilia and bestiality to two adults of consenting age deciding to spend the rest of their lives together, says a lot about you. Incest was outlawed because of how the children would come out deformed. You're exactly why most people hate the republicans now. You're why many of the fiscal conservatives have left the party. You and the Christian right have ruined that party. I hope you're happy.
