Where is the acceptance for all?

Read this quote from Commissioner of the NFL Roger Goodell -

GOODELL:  "I respect and admire our players for what they don't on the field, but also for what they do off the field.  They're leaders.  They're thoughtful.  And they want to make a difference in their communities and they feel passionately about this subject.  We, as the league, obviously embrace this also, would be incredibly supportive of this, and not just the point of tolerance but to the point of acceptance.  I think you're hearing that from our players, and I'm proud of them for that."

He was answering the following questions.  "A couple different issues around the league right now. One that certainly has a lot of attention, several of your players have come out in support of gay marriage, lot of questions about what would happen if an NFL player were to come out as gay and the expectation perhaps that would happen soon. Generally speaking, Mr. Commissioner, how do you feel about NFL players taking stands on potentially divisive political issues?"

If you know anything about Tebow and how he was denegraded for being a Christain.  Now read Goodell answer with Tebow in mind.  Did that ever happen to Tebow?  No.  Not ever!

Then in the news Jason Collins, 34 years old center in the NBA has come out and said. "I'm black. And I'm gay." Obama called the guy an hour later and said he was impressed with his courage to come out.  Did Obama call Tebow for having the courage to stand up for being a Christain?

Rush Limbaugh commented - "Remember, now, Tebow's gone. Jets released him, April 15th he was waved bye-bye.   And the New York media is ecstatic, 'cause all that mumbo jumbo about Jesus is no longer gonna pollute the Jets locker room.  And this is the commissioner[Goodell] on tolerance and acceptance in the NFL."

What tolerance - What acceptance!!???
