Big Papi et les joueurs gais: get over it!

David Ortiz des Red Sox de Boston est un joueur respecté et immensément populaire. Lorsqu'un joueur de son calibre s'exprime sur un sujet, on peut présumer que son opinion a du poids. Big Papi discutait récemment des cas de Michael Sam (football) et Jason Collins (basketball)avec les journalistes et il soulignait l'importance d'être tolérant et ouvert.

 "“I have gay friends and we have great relationships when it comes down to respecting each other,” he said. “It’s not something you choose to be. It’s not like, ‘I want to be a baseball player,’ or, ‘I want to be a basketball player.’ It’s something you’re born with and everybody needs to accept that. Hey, look, the way I see things, I love people the way they are. Especially if you are honest with yourself. You know what I’m saying?

 “It’s the (expletive) 21st century man. Get over it.”
