Poor Russ....he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Most here have him painted into a corner.

What could possibly be the rationale in publishing this gossip other than some prurient interest designed to be pejorative of RW's credibility or something equivalent? It really represents a new level of salacious lowness in he conversation around Wilson. I could actually care, less and his sexuality is an area that is irrelevant to me as a fan.

Well, to be fair Jammer, two thoughts come to mind, only one of which is specifically targeted at you . . .
First and most specifically, this "message" Russell shared wasn't really targeted towards football fans. It was shared at a church with a pastor and his congregation. It was a matter of faith, and its intent is NOT to inform fans of Wilson's sexual activities but to encourage other believers in their faith-fueled choices. That it ends up posted on a fan-site is hardly Wilson's fault. Many churches video and release their sermons, but what happens with them after they enter cyber-space is beyond their control.
Secondly and more generally, if people don't want to hear about Russell's dating life, don't click on threads that are obviously about Russell's dating life, like one titled "Russell Wilson Claims to be Abstaining with Ciara."
Not every thread is of interest to every fan, and not every thread needs to be clicked.

Agree totally!
The 'message' however formed part of a segment on the local sports radio this a.m., and has unfortunately become part of the discussion surrounding Wilson when it was just part of conversation at church. The posting of it now on a fan site shows just how starved the faithful fans are of information about RW when the subject matter is truly irrelevant. The reporting of the 'message' and the posting of it here is truly just salacious gossiping.
My point is: what has changed with Wilson that makes any of this this any more informative about Wilson?
McGruff":15702ito said:So it's really more of a critique of the sports media creating stories about celebrity culture instead of reporting on sports? That I can totally agree with. As a Christian who shares Russ' values I l9ve this stuff, but think the reporting of belongs more to a faith based forum or a celebrity culture forum. And most certainly NOT sports radio.
