NBA Reporter Calls Homosexuality A Sin

With the news that free agent center Jason Collins had decided to come out as the first openly gay NBA player, most of the discussion has been centered on what a breakthrough the moment may well become for gay athletes in every sport, from baseball to football and so on. But an open dialogue on ESPN's Outside the Lines program turned into a forum for NBA writer Chris Broussard to spout his own intolerant views on homosexuality, couching his stance in some extreme religiosity that has made other members of the sports media shake their collective heads in shock.
But the comments from Broussard should not have been surprising to anyone with a clue about his history with this particular viewpoint, and you can be sure that ESPN producers knew what they were doing when they put him on the air.
