105556, If a player has the potential talent to make the team...

... then you draft him. Shy of being a murderer or a drug user, no distraction will be that terrible, especially when it's something as positive as being a gay role model.

If you think he doesn't, then cool. Don't draft him.

But don't blame the distraction. If he had the talent to make the team, you'd take the distraction gladly and not care.

If Dungy wasn't going to draft him because the talent doesn't justify the level of distraction or whatever (not what he said, mind you, but if he had said that), then it's obvious the problem isn't the distraction, it's the lack of talent. And then say it's the talent.
