Chris Broussard usually offers expertise on fast breaks and zone defense, but on Monday he drove right into America's culture wars by calling homosexuality "an open rebellion to God" and implying that gay people can't be Christians.
Speaking on ESPN's "Outside the Lines," the basketball analyst and former New York Times writer was discussing NBA player Jason Collins, who in a landmark move just became the first active player in one of the major pro sports to come out as gay. Collins revealed his sexual orientation in a first-person Sports Illustrated story.
"I'm a Christian. I don't agree with homosexuality," Broussard said. "I think it's a sin, as I think all sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman is.
"If you're openly living in unrepentant sin ... that's walking in open rebellion to God and to Jesus Christ," he added.
What a douchebag! Idiots like him should go back to the 12th century. And this from a black man who, in former times, would not have even been allowed on television. No wonder I want to have nothing to do with Christianity...
