Robert Griffin III thinks the time is now for gay players to come out. The Redskins star quarterback told GQ magazine that he feels the "window is now" for gay players. "I think there are [gay players] right now, and if they're looking for a window to just come out, I mean, now is the window," said Griffin, who is recovering from offseason knee surgery. "My view on it is, yes, I am a Christian, but to each his own. You do what you want to do. If some Christians want to look at being gay as a sin, then thinking about other women, committing adultery—or any of those other sins that are in the Bible—those are sins, too. And God looks at all of us the same way." NBA veteran Jason Collins was the first active player from the four major U.S. sports to come out earlier this year. The Detroit Pistons were reportedly interested in signing Collins, who is a free agent. Source: Fox Sports
He's 23... He's paid to play football... I love to watch him play... Can't wait to see him back on the field... I don't understand why we need his opinion on anything else in the news...
often wondered why atheletes loved to put their two cents in about varying subjects other than their chosen fields.
i can't wait for people to understand that these athletes are in most cases being asked questions and answering. you know, the first hint should have been "gq magazine." but maybe i'm just asking for too much.
So what? Not all questions have to be answered. There's no rule that says players have to answer every question they're asked.
I don't recall saying that. You're going to extremes to try and prove your point. Exactly like the media does. All I said was not all questions need to be answered. Questions like this will only cause headaches for athletes that answer them.
:icon_smile: It's never a question about the answer to the question but the common sense to say just cuz someone thrusts a mic in my face with a question, I'm not obligated to answer it. Be the shepherd, not the sheep...
