We just read, with great interest; former New York Giants baller–David “The Catch” Tyree’s recent interview in which the NFL player spoke openly about his reasons for opposing gay marriage and more particularly, the passing of a bill that allows for same sex unions in New York!!!
.
Stating that he believes the passing of the bill will eventually lead to anarchy, Tyree candidly speaks on what he interprets as the union of a man and a women only, or God’s will. While we are firm believers in every man, woman, dog or cat having the right to choose who it is they decide to spend their life with, we’d be 100% hypocrites if we too didn’t support every man’s god-given right to choice in preference and beliefs.

Why did you decide to speak up for marriage?
Do our fans mean more than our position in eternity? I believe marriage is a reflection — Marriage is the only relationship that mirrors a relationship with God. It’s very unique in that way. So I am disappointed when there’s not enough guys who dethrone their platform and cast down their crowns to lift up something as honorable and near to God’s heart as marriage.
Full interview below….
What message does gay marriage send?
It sends [the message] that you don’t need a mother or a father. That has to be one of the loudest messages that ring[s] forth. I know this, I was impacted severely — my father was in my life — but I was impacted severely because he wasn’t in the home. Then you have father’s in the home, but it’s almost like they’re not in the home, and that’s impacting on a child. This is what I do know, you can’t teach something that you don’t have, so two men will never be able to show a woman how to be a woman. That’s just simple, for lack of a better term, common sense. I’m not political. I approach more from an angle of prayer. As much as people are going to voice their opinions and make those pushes in a negative direction, I feel like athletes, believes, or people who are very strong towards marriage, especially in places of position, need to really take this opportunity to voice it. I think we’re doing ourselves a great injustice, as well as those Christians or believers, we’re doing God an injustice by not making his heart known to our country.
When dads are absent what do boys learn about how to be a man?
Our society permeates those three things, for men especially…sexual conquests, economic prowess. They’re extremely unfulfilling. At the height of my moment that actually lead me I realized I had athletic prowess, sexual conquests…at a very young stage, you know, economically well in my early career. I was at the lowest point of my life, it was extremely unfulfilling. Not to say that they’re all bad thing in and of themselves, but if they’re at the central focus of our being and that’s the message that we’re sending our children, you’re setting up to live unfulfilled, purposeless lives.
What will happen if they pass the gay marriage bill?
If they pass this gay marriage bill….I guess you can say my peace is in God’s sovereignty. But what I know will happen if this comes forth is this will be the beginning of our country sliding toward…you know, it’s a strong word, but anarchy. The moment we have, and if you trace back even to other cultures, other countries, that will be the moment in which our society in itself loses it’s grip with what’s right. I do believe that there is right and wrong. I do believe that there is good and evil. I believe that many things are subjective but I don’t believe that truth is. Marriage is one of those things that is the backbone of society. If you redefine it, it changes the way we educate our children, it changes the perception of what is good, what is right, and what is just.
What are your thoughts???
