Remember when ESPN stuck to sports?

     It seems as if there are no media outlets that are without bias these days. Even ESPN has become overwhelmingly liberal over the past several years. A day doesn't go by where there isn't a story about an athlete that's considering coming out as gay, or an athlete that has recently come out gay. Which leads me to this question: Who cares? An athlete's sexual orientation should have nothing to do with his or her performance on the field. Will people watch a football team more if they have an openly gay player on their team? I doubt it. Will they watch that team less? Unlikely. However, ESPN has many journalists who feel compelled to write stories painting gay athletes in a glorified light. LZ Granderson, a progressive journalist for ESPN, states that the first openly gay NFL player won't "come at the right time" but will "be the right person". He goes on to say that Jackie Robinson didn't integrate baseball at the right time, but that he was the right person. Again, a liberal is comparing the gay rights movement to the hardships faced by blacks in the middle of the last century. This comparison is absurd. One last question for ESPN: if a journalist decided to write an article describing the potential reasons why current NFL players may be uncomfortable having an openly gay player in the locker room, would they be allowed to publish it? The answer to this question is a resounding NO. Here's the link to the story mentioned previously http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9169413/no-perfect-gay-nfl-player-come-out
