GOLFER BUBBA WATSON — who has never been shy about his religious beliefs — has voiced his support for ESPN reporter Chris Broussard.

Broussard has been taking heat for going on “Outside The Lines” yesterday and saying being gay is a sin and an “open rebellion to God.” This came in the wake of Jason Collins’ decision to come out.

It wasn’t the first time Broussard made anti-gay statements on theological grounds, and it’s becoming clear that he isn’t the only one in the sport world with these views. The tweet:
