Urban Meyer Comes Under Fire At Ohio State From Gay Alumni R.U.Kidding Me?

Written By Larry M. Glicken "LG"

Urban Meyer is taking plenty  of heat for making guys on his Ohio State Buckeyes football team wear lavender jerseys for under performing in a spring practice.

 Now Meyer is getting plenty of flack from Ohio States Alumni. What Alumni you may wonder? The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Alumni association of Ohio State—has a problem with it.

This is where the Are You Kidding Me comment comes from. What are these people trying to say protesting the fact that Meyer made a few guys wear lavender jerseys?

Are these people saying anytime someone wears lavender they are automatically slandering the Gay community? Does the Gay community have some sort of by-laws that say no one is allowed to wear any lavender colored clothing? I mean come on, is this just a chance to  get the Gay community together to have a protest? Lets face it every time we turn on the news the Gay community is protesting something.

Hey, why not have the Gays protesting the quarterbacks wearing a red shirt during practice? I'll bet there are plenty of Gays that don't like that one bit and yet it has taken place for years. Are they gays pissed off because the color Lavender should only be restricted for the gay community to use?

 I mean I just don't understand what their problem is. As the head coach of a football team Urban Meyer should be left alone and left to build the Buckeyes a winning football team, no matter what color the players wear during practice.

I've seen lots of people wearing lavender color clothing for years. Why hasn't the Ohio State Gay Alumni been in a up-roar over this. These people have a real problem with people trying to do their job and enough is enough already.

You certainly don't see the entire heterosexual community protesting the fact that the Gay Community is trying to hi-jack the color lavender  for their own protest reasons do ya?
