Chris Broussard got himself in hot water today on ESPN's Outside The Lines program. The topic was Jason Collins coming out publicly that he is gay.
Chris, a devoted Christian, stated his personal views based on his faith.
Due to public pressure for his comments he issued the following statement via Twitter:
"Today on OTL, as part of a larger, wide-ranging discussion on today's news, I offered my personal opinion as it relates to Christianity, a point of view that I have expressed publicly before. I realize that some people disagree with my opinion and I accept and respect that. As has been the case in the past, my beliefs have not and will not impact my ability to report on the NBA. I believe Jason Collins displayed bravery with his announcement today and I have no objection to him or anyone else playing in the NBA."
