Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is being featured in the new issue of GQ Magazine. In the article he talked about a variety of subjects and even said that DeMarcus Ware is the scariest player in the NFL.

Amongst other things the column’s author Brendan Vaughn asked him about a gay player potentially coming out in the NFL.

From GQ:

"“Yeah, man. I think there are [gay players] right now, and if they’re looking for a window to just come out, I mean, now is the window. My view on it is, yes, I am a Christian, but to each his own. You do what you want to do. If some Christians want to look at being gay as a sin, then thinking about other women, committing adultery—or any of those other sins that are in the Bible—those are sins, too. And God looks at all of us the same way.”"

I personally was surprised that RG3 gave such a clear answer, I thought his Baylor ties might make him tip-toe around the subject.
