AFA loonball Tim Wildmon: Too much beefcake in the locker room for Michael Sam


American Family Association President Tim Wildmon has come to the defense of former NFL coach Tony Dungy, who made headlines this week in regard to a series of controversial remarks about Michael Sam of the St. Louis Rams.

In a blog post on AFA's website, Wildmon criticized ESPN's Keith Olbermann for calling Dungy the "worst person in sports," after the ex-coach said he would not have selected Sam, who made history as the first openly gay player to be drafted by the NFL, becuase "things will happen" and he "wouldn't want to deal with any of it," Right Wing Watch pointed out.

"Sexually, God made man for woman and woman for man. It's obvious. It's natural," Wildmon wrote. Noting that progressives are "always trying to equate homosexuality with heterosexuality," he added, "When someone like Dungy makes a comment that can in any way been seen as challenging this narrative then that person must be immediately discredited or publicly shamed no matter the truth of what he is saying."

But he didn't stop there. Pointing once again to Sam, he then wrote:

By the way, having been a sports reporter for a few years I've been in many football locker rooms where the players walk around naked or half-naked, changing clothes and going in and out of the showers. Putting a man like Sam, who says he is sexually attracted to men, in with all that beefcake seems unfair to the straight players and a distraction to Sam.
