Mets' Daniel Murphy vocal in disdain for Billy Bean's homosexuality



http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/mets-daniel-murphy-vocal-in-disdain-for-billy-beans-homosexuality/ar-BBiciQF?ocid=iehp

"I disagree with his lifestyle," Murphy told reporters, according to NJ.com . "I do disagree with the fact that Billy is a homosexual."

Murphy also said he would not shun Bean.

"That doesn't mean I can't still invest in him and get to know him," he was quoted as saying. "I don't think the fact that someone is a homosexual should completely shut the door on investing in them in a relational aspect."

A devout Christian, Murphy said the moment was an opening for a conversation and an opportunity to move past stereotypes.


I just want to get this straight - he wants to move past stereotypes and he says "I disagree with his lifestyle". Such a maroon!

Oh and this devout Christian works on Sunday doesn't he?? (Or should I say Friday/Saturday!)
