What Is Wrong With The Offense?

But I do respect those who have faith as an important part of their life. These attacks are in my book no different than dropping the N bomb. Like every other form of bigotry, it comes from nothing other than ignorance and stupidity pure and simple.

For you rocket scientists who think religion impacts Gibbs personnel decisions, you have to come up with some real interesting way to explain why in the hell Gibbs flew to Kansas to talk Riggo into coming back to play for him.

This talk -- not just on this board, but elsewhere -- is stupid and offensive.

Stupid...maybe. Bigotry...no.

I certainly didn't read Daseal's post as an attack on religion, only that their personal bond (in this case via a shared faith) may be clouding Gibbs decision to play or not to play Brunell. That is a far cry from religious intolerance in my book. No where did I see an attack on religion itself.

Personally, I do NOT believe their common faith impacts Gibbs personnel decisions, but the linkage is obvious enough that I can see why some would question this.
