Maybe he doesn't "hate those people". Maybe he just doesn't feel like being a champion for their lifestyle by wearing a shirt promoting that behavior. Choosing not to endorse someone else's sexuality is not the same thing as hating them for it. Hate the sin, not the sinner...or something like that. Likewise, I don't think that dudes like Colin Kaepernick "hate America" because he chose not to stand for the national anthem. These conversations are much more nuanced than that. We just happen to live in a world where nobody cares about stupid crap like ambiguity.

I don't think Walman gets traded unless the return is obviously too good to turn down. I think his emergence makes Maatta expendable though. Early this season there was a pretty solid chorus of folks saying Maatta was a no brainer to re-sign. I don't think that's the case now.

Big Ras out here getting all sorts of love from his coach in the papers today. And Mickey and Ken wouldn't shut up about Berggren last night. We're starting to get some young players rounding into real difference makers here. This can only be good for the team. I think it's easy for fans, myself included, to think that progress for this team means bringing in new pieces. And we definitely need a few. But the growth from guys like Berggren, Ras, Walman, and Veleno are going to pay off massively as we keep getting better.
