Of course. The MSMs propaganda campaign is now paying dividends. What is totally appalling and repulsive only a decade ago is now moving towards the norm.


It's fascinating how powerful the MSM is and how so few people control it can twist and warp the world to their worldview.

Who cares, If they want to burn in the under world forever, that is their business. Besides we have a President who is driving down a country. Which is more important!

Yes he did. He kissed a man. I know its hard to hear but that is different.

Except you are simply asserting it is a natural reaction. Just because YOU had that reaction does not mean it is the natural one. It is just YOUR one.

Many people would do well to learn the difference between "X is repulsive" and "X is repulsive to me". Far too often people take the latter and declare it is the former. Your personal reactions are not the arbiter of what is repulsive or not.

My natural reaction was disgust and anger. First because it was gross, and second because a 7th round pick is on national tv,
just because he's gay!

My personal reactions are the arbiter of what is repulsive. I don't need any help telling me what to think.

You're right and it really isn't a huge deal. My main issue is the extreme overreaction of the Dolphins and NFL, and how I think it was set up in the first place. I don't like the bullying and punishing of people into silence, nor the"reeducation" nonsense.

Aside from what you may think about the kiss according to what I heard this player would never been drafted if you go by his stats. That to me is discrimination towards other players who were not drafted and may had better stats.

Nowadays it is an accomplishment to be gay. Wow what a sad world we are in.

I don't care he is gay. The kiss or hug to me was stupid since it makes him look less like a sports athlete than a wannabe tv star.

How do you think guys will feel standing in the shower with this guy after a game...

I worked with a lot of gay people back in Europe and I was always amazed how fast gays can get emotional and physical during a fight with their partner and I wonder how the player and his bf will handle the shower part and if another player is a little too friendly.

Well that should seal it. Im done with the NFL now if this is what its come to. A fine and "re-education" for daring to say he thought the kiss was gross?! Really?! ********* NFL and the rest of these loons.

This is un-American insanity. This is the sort of thing I knew would be coming after the gay marriage push. You cant even utter a single thought of a hint of negativity about anything homo or you get punished now. You aren't allowed to feel differently and say something about it now.

I found the kiss gross too. Thank God I dont work for an org. like the NFL that would punish me for daring to say so.

I find dog poop on the sidewalk unpeasant to behold. You may find it attractive and wish to roll around in it.
