On having a gay teammate

The backup quarterback for the Washington Redskins, Kirk Cousins, said he would welcome an openly gay teammate and try and take him to Jesus, saying, “No one is perfect.” Here’s what the cousin said to MLive


“From a football standpoint, if the guy can help us win, help us win.

Yes, what’s even worse is their scintillating game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

The art of gender reveal is a bit outdated now, as everyone else feels more forced and flimsy than it did before, but it’s important to dissect the mechanics and precision of Cousin’s throwing.

Having said that, Kirk, what kind of announcement is this?

Cheating, excessive drinking, etc., is on the same level as a dude loving another dude?"

Lat week, CBS cited an anonymous player who said that he could think of a handful of Redskins players who might have a difficult time with an openly gay teammate. To that degree, we’d welcome him into our locker room and say come help us win, and hopefully I can love him like Jesus and hopefully show him what it means to follow Jesus.”

“I think some guys would kind of shy away from him a little bit… maybe three or four guys,” the player is quoted as saying. They’re not perfect. However, there was also a bunch of anti-gay nonsense that he likely wouldn’t say about any other demographic.

It didn’t really happen because the cousin’s throw was almost an incomplete pass.

Watching this as a Washington fan might bring up some bad memories. He supports the anti-gay organization Focus on the Family. So I don’t say they can’t help us win.

People like Cousins seem well-meaning and he would like to think he’s only full of love, but his assumption that homosexuality equals imperfection and sin is insulting, as is his desire to proselytize.

To that extent, we’ll welcome them to our locker room and say let’s help us win , and hopefully I can love him like Jesus and hopefully show him what it means to follow Jesus.”
Cousins ​​attended Grand Rapids, Michigan, high school at Michigan State. Now, there are a lot of teammates in my locker room right now who may not have a homosexual lifestyle, but they have sins, too.

At the time, he also said he would try to lead him to Jesus, saying, “nobody’s perfect.” Because, apparently, when he’s asked about gay people, imperfection is the first thing that comes to mind. His remarks were similar to those he had said last year after Jason Collins came out in the NBA.

People like Cousins ​​seem well-meaning and would like to think that he is only full of love, but his belief that homosexuality equates to imperfection and sin is outrageous, as is his desire to convert.

Gender reveal

It’s been a terrible, terrible, no good, very bad season for the Cancer cousin, but as rough as it all is, his throwback as part of 2017’s Gender—recently unearthed by Internet sleuths , because when it rains it rains—may be the low point of their quarterbacking.

Nobody’s perfect. I know it’s supposed to be a cute way to announce a baby’s gender on social media, but it’s one of the most difficult endeavors. Maybe they imagined the blue powder to be even bigger, almost like an explosion. It’s really just a cardboard box that looks like blue chalk.
