Because Mohammed would have been Grand Marshal of the pedophilia parade. Duh.

1. It’s pretty funny to me that they celebrated Pride by wearing rainbow jerseys during warmups.
B. Do the sports reporters here really think he should have been benched?

What if his religion counseled him to make some stand against interracial marriage?

I’m very interested in the answer. What is it about this particular form of bigotry that permits a religious exemption as a moral shield? Where does it stop?

Is not wearing a jersey really “bigotry” though?
Im genuinely asking. Hes not saying round em up in camps, take away rights, starve em, whatever. Hes just not really wanting to wear the shirt. Should this really be a big deal?

Should this really be a big deal? And I'm asking: What if they were wearing jerseys in support of inter-racial marriage on "religious" grounds? Would that be acceptable, as well? Why is it OK to be "against" same-sex marriage/coupling? |

Is he really againt it if he says he respects their choices? This is veering into thought police territory for me. People who try to take actions against others ought to be shunned. People who make meaningless gestures, why get all riled up? |

Because a lot of people still think it’s a choice. I think they do, too. But ... so what, right? If it's a "choice," why does that make it OK to be "against" said choice? Inter-racial marriage is a choice. |

But what if they did, and someone refused to wear the T-shirt or warm-up jersey supporting it, on "religious" grounds? Would that be an acceptable "gesture"? |

I know I'm slipping into 2014-era Whitman a bit here, but I think it's important to think it through with this framing.

How is this any different than kneeling during the national anthem?

Inter-racial marriage is a choice. It’s a “choice” that goes against God’s will. This isn’t new. But Gordon makes a good point: The notion of having a sports team “celebrate” interracial marriage on a given night seems ridiculous and unnecessary. Why is this different? |

But Gordon makes a good point: The notion of having a sports team “celebrate” interracial marriage on a given night seems ridiculous and unnecessary. Why is this different? I'm willing to entertain the separate argument of whether it's "ridiculous" to have a "Pride" night. But given the existence of a "Pride" night or "inter-racial marriage" night, is it socially acceptable to: (1) opt out of "Pride" night on "religious" grounds; and (2) opt out of "inter-racial marriage" night on "religious" grounds? |
