SPECIAL: I made the mistake of watching TV

I have this habit of watching TV. Don't ask me why because I don't have an answer. I watch TV like all the normal people. But the folks that appear on TV have this gift of making me sometimes, by their small mind, to make me feel bad in my own home.
I was watching the famous news about the football players making sex in a small romanian city. First published by the Libertatea tabloid then cited on every blog or site, even on those gay themed, or at TV, especially on those stations so called News Channels. Every media was debating the same issue: how could they do such a thing, how could some footballers made sex with eachother. With lines like: "they aren't real football players, they are from far away", "too bad, he was a promising footballer but now his future career is compromised" or "what do gays do in football", did make my stomach feel sick.

Obviously, I wandered what made me feel bad: the news or the stupid comments. The news had nothing to disturb me because I don't think it is so bad that two or more men made sex, even if they are footballers. So the answer is the dirty comments. My instinct told me to turn the other cheek but then I though that you can turn the cheek only if you have somebody to turn it to. If I talk about narrowed mind people I can't see how can my cheek be of any help for them.
Fascinating for me is to see how many views could do a gay news. How many people are ready, like in the Middle Age, to throw stones into a man just because they think he's imoral. And how much joy is on their faces for throwing that stones.
From my point of view the man that did the stupid think to let him being photographed in such a situation is mistaking because he is not assuming which determines a totally useless bad image. By assuming the situation, the guy that appears with face in the photographs will become overnight a so called TV Star, the porn football player. In the hurry to discover the sensational, media doesn't care about the guy and is interested only in the mass effect he produces. And the tabloid that today presented the gay scandal of the year, tomorrow will present the brand new star of Romania.
Don't understand me wrong, I am talking about the poor footballer because the subject started from that news. He is not the theme of my opinion but the pretext.
And I am asking again: If you are gay why can't you be a football player? What happens, do you rape your team members? Are you running to catch your fans? I wish I could see this happening!
Here are the headlines of the media I was reffering at:
"In one of the evenings they drunk wine more than usual and they started to walk naked in the room. They were in quarters with the Minerul football team. They started joking with sexual matters and they ended by doing sex while taking pictures, told a source to the newspaper."
"Shocking: Footballers making sex with their team members - Pictures forbidden for minors"
"In the next day nobody regret anything"
"Sex with footballers. When they don't score in the gate, they do it to themselves"
"It seems that the footballers from Mineru don't have luck with girls so they decided to do it with their team members. In the quarters, after hours of training, maybe exausted, the boys decided to relax"
"(Homo)Sexual Orgies in the second league. The players of Minerul were photographed in unbelievable positions."
