    Default Organization blasts Giants for hiring David Tyree, who opposes gay marriage

    So now if you have an opinion you shouldn't allowed to be employed either? Is him being employed by a professional sports team going to somehow change things about gay marriage? It's not like he is an activist, he simply made a comment a few years back. Now the gay mafia strikes again, but will fail with this one.

    ---

    The story of the New York Giants hiring David Tyree to be their director of player development seemed heartwarming on the surface.

    Tyree made one of the greatest plays in NFL history, the famous "Helmet Catch" that led to the Giants upsetting the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. He never caught another NFL pass. The Giants hiring him was a callback to their past glory, bringing a former Super Bowl hero home.

    The Human Rights Campaign wasn't so excited about the idea, recalling Tyree's views on gay people and his stance on gay marriage in 2011, and ripped the Giants for the hire.

    Tyree tweeted in 2011 that “there is no scientific evidence to support the claim of being born gay," according to CBS New York. He also told the New York Daily News in 2011 that he'd trade his famous catch and the Giants' championship to stop gay marriage.

    Remembering this, the Human Rights Campaign criticized the Giants for hiring Tyree, according to ESPNNewYork.com.

    "When did Tyree decide to be straight?" HRC president Chad Griffin said in a statement to ESPNNewYork.com. "The idea that someone can change their sexual orientation or gender identity is ludicrous, and the New York Giants are risking their credibility by hiring someone who publicly advocates this junk science. His opposition to basic legal equality aside, David Tyree's proselytizing of such dangerous practices goes against the positive work the Giants organization has done in recent years."

    Tyree had no comment on the HRC statement when reached by ESPNNewYork.com. The Giants told ESPNNewYork.com in a statement, that Tyree "was expressing his personal view, and that is not the view of the Giants organization."

    Default All part of the Democrat/Obama plan to destroy America

    Hasn't anyone on the left noticed? Democrats, and Obama have slowly been creating near total...TOTALITARIAN control over EVERYONE from Birth, to Death.

    Try and think. THINK REALLY HARD. What part of YOUR life, no matter who you are, or where you live, and no matter what race you may be, or religion here in the U.S.A....WHAT PART of your life IS NOT CONTROLLED in some way by Government?

    Can anyone here Honestly say government doesn't have a hand in What you do, Where you live, Your education, What you eat, What you read, What you hear, and What you think?

    Be honest with yourself. You have no need to share it here on DP.

    But, if you are honest with yourself. Going from the day you were born, until today.

    Ask yourself what part of your life isn't...in some way, controlled by government.

    There may be some small exceptions many of you will quickly announce here to PROVE ME WRONG.
    But...even your efforts to do that will be related to WHAT Government tells you to say, think, and believe.

    Give it an HONEST try.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    I'd love the Giants to tell them to Fuck Off.

    "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! You do not agree with us!!! WAAA!! You should not have a job!! Boohoo!!!"

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Folks want equal rights, Blacks, Gays ect... well if they truly do want that then they should except this guy's opinion, as long as he isn't physically doing anything or withholding jobs, money or anything else from these folks then it is nothing more than his opinion and we are all born with our opinions. But these same folks that scream for equal rights want to shut him down, that doesn't sound so equal to me.
    Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up

    Unless coaches and team administrators display open hostility toward others (ie Donald Sterling, the Minnesota Viking asst coach), their personal beliefs should not be considered as part of what they bring to their jobs.
