The NFL great died today of either a "massive heart attack" (ESPN) or "respiratory failure" (Fox NFL Sunday), and the sportscasters can't say enough about what a great, moral man he was.

While we should all mourn his passing, let's not forget Reggie White's "morality," too:

Gays are like backstabbers and malicious people

PEGGY WEHMEYER of ABC's 20/20: "Just last week, Reggie White and his wife, Sara, met us for an exclusive interview. White told us he was sorry if he offended anyone, but he wasn’t backing down one inch. (on camera) Are you saying there that homosexuals are like liars, cheaters, backstabbers and malicious people?"REGGIE WHITE "Yes." - ABC's 20/20, April 27, 1998.

Gays hurt children, kill our people

"White said he stands by his remarks regarding gays. `I am going to speak the truth and I am going to speak out against things that's hurting our children, that's killing off our people,' White said. `If people think that's a contradiction and that's hate, they need to take them up with God, not with Reggie White.'" Associated Press, April 26, 1998, quoting White's 20/20 interview.

Offended that gays say deserve rights

"Sometimes when people talk about this sin they've been accused of being racist. I'm offended that homosexuals will say that homosexuals deserve rights. Any man in America deserves rights, but homosexuals are trying to compare their plight with the plight of black men or black people. In the process of history, homosexuals have never been castrated, millions of them never died. Homosexuality is a decision. It's not a race."- Remarks by Reggie White to the Wisconsin Assembly, March 25, 1998.

As I post this, Terry Bradshaw is going on and on about how Reggie White was a "man of God," and James Brown is talking about how White "loved everybody." Uh...not quite everybody...

Update: Demagogue has more.
