Secular Sunday – Tampa Bay Players Refuse To Wear Gay Pride Logo On Their Uniforms Saying Their Religion Forbids It

I always chuckle as how selective (some) Christians are about which “rules” they follow and even how they decide that these rules exist in a book that was written thousands of years ago.
