He won’t be anybody’s first brideman anytime soon.. Two thumbs up, AP!
It’s so sad that having a view that aligns with traditional American values will get a person in hot water.
Hold your ground AP.
Sounds to me like Adrian Peterson has an IRS audit on the horizon.
Talk about real courage for coming out of the closet - this is what I call REAL COURAGE for speaking up and out like this!
What happens when a minority guy is not politically correct on gay marriage?
Does the media have a “style guide” to allow them to absolve the transgressions based on that?
What if a black muslim handicapped female climate change activist came out against gay marriage?
Last bounty brought by the Saints.
This one by the IRS.
His retraction and apology in 3...2...1...
He is castigated by it until he apologizes.
Nothing takes priority over shoving homosexuality down the throats of the masses.
I was really counting on him having some longevity so he could put Emmitt Smith’s record to bed. So much for that.
WHY was he asked? He stands with thousands of years of traditional civilization views on the matter.
Who are the pink journalists living a "don't ask don't tell" lifestyle at SeeBS? Why don't they come out of the closet and let viewers know why the homosexual perspective is a given in today's newsrooms?
Been nice knowing ya, Adrian ......

Will any of the sportswriters praise him for the courage of his convictions?
Maybe the article went viral on leftwing activist sites or among facebook liberals.
Comments don’t reflect percentages of support or opposition to any articles. Online polls are totally worthless.
Except to low info voters.
Folks, we are in a rapidly deteriorating situation if saying "to each his own" is no longer enough. . .we now are forced by social pressure (soon to be followed by government coercion)to affirm that we believe in gay marriage!?
If we don't all soon take a stand to hang together for traditional morality. . .we will soon be hanging separately!!
