ESPN radio just had the author on

ALso Tags said that watching baseball isabout as boring like standing in line at the supermarket

Tag, you're it...

This is highly relevant to my enjoyment of football. Thanks for filling us in.

He was called bundle of sticksliabue one too many times.

Damn sheep herders.

now Fred Phelps has a reason to protest in Arrowhead parking lot. Unless there is a military funeral at the same time that is

So, gochiefs is Tags son? wow. I never knew.

Hey pops how bout hookin your sweet son up with some locker room passes. ROFL :Lin:

Like Father Like son

hmm who cares really.

Now we know why the NFL and Tags favors the Donks so much. They have something in common with them.

Who doesn't hate gay people

I wonder why SI felt that "news" was relevant to report...

NFL Commissioner Honored with Gay Son

By Cyd Zeigler jr.
Outsports.com


NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and his wife, Chandler, were honored Monday night by the New York chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays with the PFLAG 2005 Stay Close Individual Leadership Award. Tagliabue had given a sizable donation to PFLAG for the campaign. Tagliabue's son, Drew, is openly gay.

Paul Tagliabue and his family have been strong supporters of PFLAG's Stay Close campaign since its inception, according to the program's co-founder, Suzanne Ramos. The program consists of print advertisements featuring famous people and their gay relatives. Featured pairs include Cyndi Lauper and her sister, Elen; Ben Affleck and his cousin Jason; and at Monday's event, PFLAG unveiled the latest ad: Rosario Dawson & her gay uncle, Frank. Drew Tagliabue is also a co-founder of the campaign.

Ramos said that PFLAG is now actively pursuing athletes to feature with their gay relatives.

Paul Tagliabue spoke at the dinner about his love for Drew and Drew's partner, Mark Jones. He also discussed the important, positive impact of PFLAG's Stay Close campaign and how he has been struck by the quality and uplifting character of the campaign.

Chandler Tagliabue delivered remarks regarding her love for her children, Drew and Emily, and her distaste for the hijacking of "family values" by a select group in this country.

The group's Annual Dinner, hosted by Queer Eye's Kyan Douglas, was held at the Tribeca Rooftop at 2 Desbrosses Street. Others in attendance at the dinner included Cyndi Lauper (who sang "True Colors"), New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft, former NFL player Esera Tuaolo, and former high school football player Corey Johnson. Kraft is a close friend of the NFL commissioner and he donated $5,000 for the dinner.

Johnson, who came out while the captain of his high school football team in Middleton, Mass., found he had something in common with the Krafts, other than a love of the Patriots; Kraft had been familiar with Johnson's story because of family members who lived in his hometown. In Manhattan on Monday evening, though, it was Johnson giving Kraft directions to a Boston bar to watch the Red Sox play in the NFL offseason.

A graduate of Amherst College in Massachusetts, Drew Tagliabue, 36, is an associate with Russell Reynolds Associates, a global executive search firm. According to the firm's Web site, "With his international business experience, Drew also has expertise in cross-border and cross-cultural recruiting for international clients."

In fact, he's so good at international recruiting that he managed to bring Jones, his partner of over 10 years, to the United States from Australia in 2002.

While it's incredibly positive that the commissioner of the NFL is so supportive of PFLAG, that doesn't necessarily translate to across-the-board gay-positive policies at the NFL.

On the bright side, the NFL does have a non-discrimination policy covering sexual orientation in its employee handbook. The NFL League offices also offer same-sex domestic partner benefits. Paul also has reportedly included Drew in league sensitivity training about gay issues.

However, the NFL Players Association still does not offer same-sex partner benefits, despite the repeated requests by former NFL players Esera Tuaolo and Dave Kopay, who receive NFLPA benefits, that they do. In 2002, when rumors were swirling that New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza was gay, Tagliabue was asked if the NFL was ready for an openly gay player. "That's a baseball question. I'm not comfortable with baseball questions," the Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger reported Tagliabue saying. And, unlike baseball's actions against John Rocker for the pitcher's anti-gay and racist comments, the NFL has taken no action against players who have made homophobic remarks.

Still, it's good to know that someone who is sensitive to gay-rights issues is leading the charge of America's most successful, and most hyper-masculinized, sports organization.

Well, that explains why he wears Kordell Stewart jerseys.

I HATE PFLAG

They are right up there with Planned Parenthood In my book.

Yeah, stupid planned parenthood, with their planning of parenthood!


:cuss: :banghead: :cuss: :banghead: :cuss: :banghead: :cuss: :banghead: :cuss: :banghead:

I just dont think Young Teen Girls that **** around and get pregnant need abortions behind their parents back

Some things need to be kept quiet...........For the record some people have really ****ed up parents where the best thing is for them not to know.

Alot of people.

Why cuz the Kids ass Might Get beat.


Whats wrong with that :shrug:

I fixed it for you

What if one of your sons was gay? How would you react to that?

I would disown them

I'm not going to go into a long drawn out debate but I'll leave it at this. Some parents aren't very understanding of things.

Dudes normally say that. Because they can't get pregnant. But lets just leave it there...

HOW ABOUT THEM CHIEFS?

And you prove my point of people not being understanding of things, if your view of someone changes because they are gay, you yourself are the one with the issue.

If my Son was gay (depending on my and his time in life) i more than likley would not totally "Disown", That was a hasty remark by me.

I practice tolerance with homosexuals, I tolorate it because I have to I dont and will never Accept them.

I also believe in Loving the sinner and Hating the Sin.

A gay couple that never had sex would the be the perfect gay couple

Tell me why you view someone who's gay any different than someone who's not. I treat all people the same unless they give me an actual reason not to. Someones sexual preference shouldn't really change your view of them.

Then again I'm a very liberal and non religious person, so I don't view anything as a "sin".

You have to be gay to like other gay people?

Planned Parenthood gives abortions?

I can Understand your problem with the nomenclature "sin"

When I meet someone my impression of them can be swayed by their morals and ethics, To me Homosexual Intercourse would be a moral issue.

once again for someone to be homosexual but never act in sexual manor would stand out and That would not affect my view of them

this is from http://www.ppkm.org/about.asp#med

Sorry, Slag, but some of us get along just fine with gays. I had an uncle who was gay. I have friends who are gay. It doesn't bother me, because I know it's not a choice for the people I know. God made them gay, and I accept it.

I don't know how someones sexual preference is morally wrong........basically you're cool with gay people as long as you don't know they're gay. That's probably why alot of gay people don't think they can tell anyone they know.

Look I dont HATE gays....

Im not going to go stand with ol'e Freddy Boy in Topeka.

Once again I only hate the Act of Homosexual SEX, That is all, It is Unnatural (does not lead to procreation)

Im done with teh Gehy subject

What a shitty person you are.

So you admit it was pretty foolish to parade aorund like you have to be gay to like gay people.

Keep Reading

Who cares?

That statement was Satirical

Stop posting.

Ok, I have an interesting question..........does that mean if I have anal sex with a woman, you'll look at me differently?

If so, I think Slag is going to think that I'm immoral.........

Not if the Anal Sex leads to you shooting your wad in her Vagina

ROFL I thought the idea was to have anal sex to not have kids.......

I think anal sex can cause pregnancy, and some posters on this forum are proof positive.

First of all that is just strange that you would think that way.

2nd that is a very unhealthy thing to do, if you start in the rear, put it in gear, and finish and then clean your spear.

The vagina is easily susceptible to bacteria (that can lead to infection) that you have coated yourself with in the anal orifice.

On the thread header topic, who cares, I am amazed that enough people care that an SI article would be done on the subject, that is just sad.

Tags is right about Baseball

We're not dealing with the sharpest tack in the box here when it comes to SLAG02.

There is some moral conviction in this topic, endless argument. Alot of opinion and ignorance, particularly in understanding of God and His take on this. It's pretty clear in the Bible if people want to take the time to find out and be honest with themselves. It isn't very liberal or tolerant. I stand with Him. He knows what He's doing....Adam and Eve. This is a puzzle, not complicated unless perverted.

I don't expect people to have the same spiritual convictions, but I absolutely believe that there is extreme consequence for society's complimenting of this life-style.

I have some family members that are currently active in gay lifestyle. I love them. I still don't accept the life and absolutely do not represent it to my kids as an alternative. I have never met one homosexual that was honest that was not tormented. Sin is real, its affects are geniune.......

I always love it when one tries to tell me what God's take is. Your idea of " God's take " may not be mine, others or...get ready for this...not even close to being right.

Believe what you believe, follow those beliefs, but try to tell me " God's take on things" and you lose all credibility with me...

God is gay. He had to get Joseph to knock up his bitch.

My opinion is......God doesn't know my situation so I'll do what I have to do to make it through.

You know how I know Tags son is gay? KingPriest told me.

Wow, never seen a statement responded to so fast or vehemently (like that word? vehemently)

Ask Him yourself.

Most grossly erroneous posts attract rapid, vehement responses.

"Grossly erroneous posts", eh. Erroneous. I didn't realize that I was entertaining a theologian (which doesn't really mean much). Got any basis for you accusation? I've spent a little time studying this stuff. There were no complicated statements made.

Pretty basic, I thought. And I have no clue who you are, so I'm not overly concerned with establishing credibility with you. But it's an open board and obviously you guys can say what you want.

no wonder he enforces the 5 yard contact rule. If i had a gay son I could go for atleast one sunday without men touching

If God didn't want a finger in his ass, he wouldn't have made it feel good.

Mer rules! Even if she doesn't have big cans.

:p

There are as many sources that discuss how the Bible doesn't condemn homosexuality as there are sources that say it does. You have simply decided to believe the ones that confirm your bias. That's fine. People do that every day with their biases, but don't pretend you are the only one with info, while everyone else is flailing at the wind.

This thread is hella funny.

F the gay agenda by PFLAG

Since when do gays watch football
