Similar to Rashard Mendenhall thoughts on Bin Laden and 9/11, Tyree shouldn’t be crucified for having a strong opinion about something.
I personally think it is a dumb one especially coming from a black man, but before I get more into that here is what he had to say.
Tyree continues his crusade against same-sex marriage, telling the New York Daily News that he’d be inclined to trade one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history to prevent men from legally marrying other men.
“The catch was a gift, it’s not like I’d try to do it. I couldn’t do it again so that was a miracle,” Tyree told Kenneth Lovett of the Daily News. “There’s nothing worth more than [maintaining heterosexual marriage] right here for me.”
So we he trade the catch for, um, a block? “Honestly, I probably would.”
Tyree then elaborated on his point. “Nothing means more to me than that my God would be honored,” Tyree said. “Being the fact that I firmly believe that God created and ordained marriage between a man and a woman, I believe that that’s something that should be fought for at all costs.
“So I’ll lay down everything I am to preserve the honor and integrity of the God that I serve.”
Tyree also expanded on his belief that same-sex marriage would represent the first step toward anarchy. “[O]nce you allow something like same-sex marriage, it opens up the door for a continual softening to the backbone of our society, which will eventually, for generations to come, open up the door for who knows, polygamy, and all other [things],” Tyree said.
You can flip any beliefs into a way of stereotyping or treating people differently. I think it is an easy cop up when you are prejudice or in this case homophobic.
In the end who am I to judge what is right or wrong for another person to do?
To suggest gay marriage would cause anarchy is absurd, obviously Tyree doesn’t have his eyes open to what is currently going on around the world, we are currently in a bit of an anarchy and it has nothing to do with Bob and Bill exchanging vows.
One thing Tyree should understand and it is written in the Bible is that we aren’t judge, jury and executioner, be more concern with living your own life the proper way as oppose to judging how others live their life.
