Related: About this forumWatch: Texas Sportscaster Sarcastically Slams Michael Sam Naysayers In Epic Rant
(Partial Transcript)
Its nice to know that the stereotype of older white Southern men being homophobes isnt always true. Take Dallas sports anchor Dale Hansen, who on Monday night slammed Michael Sam naysayers.
Michael Sam of course is the likely NFL draft pick who announced this week that hes gay.
You beat a woman and drag her down a flight of stairs, pulling her hair out by the roots?, Hansen rants, Youre the fourth guy taken in the NFL draft. You kill people while driving drunk? That guys welcome. Players caught in hotel rooms with illegal drugs and prostitutes? We know theyre welcome. Players accused of rape and pay the woman to go away? You lie to police, trying to cover up a murder? Were comfortable with that.
...
You love another man? Well, now youve gone too far!
