    This site really needs a "like" "upvote" or "plus 1" button.

    This. But what kind of uproar will there be if he doesn't make the grade and gets cut? Will it be about his playing ability or "oh, they cut the guy because they're all homophobes"?

    ESPN showed the kiss a million times because it was trolling...looking for someone to step in it. Don Jones and Marshall Henderson gave ESPN what it wanted. Now they can point their fingers and say, "See! See!"

    Meanwhile I have to explain to my two sons, four and six, why those two men were kissing like that.

    What about when a man and a woman kiss. Do you explain that to them, too?

    Ben has to explain when a man and a blow-up doll kiss.

    There are no children involved here except him.

    Ben has every right to decide when he wants to expose his children to what.

    They have never asked. If they did I would. It is the kind of thing I would rather handle on my terms.

    And your sister.

    Really? Stooping to eighth grade stuff? Not like I expected better from you but that was pretty lame.

    They've never seen you kiss your wife?
