League Attacks NBA Coach Mark Jackson After He Takes A Firm Stand For His Faith There is ongoing controversy over the firing of Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Johnson, especially after an article in sfgate.com was published questioning whether the decision had anything to do with his Christian views on gay marriage. In her article, Ann Killion points out that Jackson had a mild reaction to the coming-out of Jason Collins this year. She notes that this doesnt align with the attitude of the Bay Area, which has a very accepting gay politics and culture. I will say this, Jackson said the day of the Collins news. We live in a country that allows you to be whoever you want to be. As a Christian man, I serve a God that gives you free will to be who you want to be. As a Christian man, I have beliefs of whats right and whats wrong. That being said, I know Jason Collins, I know his family, and am certainly praying for them at this time. Killion also points of that Rick Welts, the team president of the Warriors is openly gay, becoming the first high-ranking executive in professional sports to come out back in 2011. What do you think of Johnsons comments? Is he entitled to his own opinion?
