ESPN's Chris Broussard Issues Statement Via Twitter



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."
