Why? I didn't start this religion ba****ng, Dano. I don't bash
ballplayers
for
their religous faith and I take exception to the bigots who do. THEY are
the
ones who are injecting their political beliefs onto this NG, not the
ballplayers.
THEY don't have comment on the ballplayers' beliefs, but do so anyways,
betraying their intolerance and bigotry.
Don't tell me about "continuing" anything. It's you and yours who STARTED
this religon ba****ng bull****. YOU STOP!!!!
