Oh my! Forget Jason Collins. This is news! NFL Network analyst and former NFL player and MLB player Deion Sanders met up with Glenn Beck recently and offered up his praise.

"Coming out" as a Glenn Beck supporter – now THAT is something a sports figure can do that takes some balls. @DeionSanders — Liberty Chick (@libertychick80) May 1, 2013

Heh.

The pair took their friendship public on Twitter.

@glennbeck great meeting you today my man. Your set is awesome and you're a good dude. God bless you and All you do. Truth — Deion Sanders (@DeionSanders) April 30, 2013

@DeionSanders @glennbeck I have always thought you were a class act. If you are a Glenn Beck fan your stock has gone up even more. — Dennis Yates (@dyates0914) May 2, 2013

He was greatly admired, and such an inspiration at our house when I was a teenager. Redskins AND Braves!!!!! @glennbeck @deionsanders — Sara (@butterflybee333) May 1, 2013

@glennbeck Just gained utmost respect for @DeionSanders, Gotta love someone who doesn't toe the PC line. — كافر Rob (@rattleduck) May 2, 2013

Indeed. Mr. Sanders continued speaking his truth.

I've known for years that God is amazing but over the last several months he's been exceedingly above all I've ever asked or thought. Truth — Deion Sanders (@DeionSanders) May 1, 2013

It’s always wonderful to see someone refusing to walk in PC-lockstep.

“@glennbeck: . @deionsanders is one of the good guys. We spoke of family, God and doing the right thing…”soon to be canned by ESPN? — Çapuelapisse (@flynfrenchy) May 1, 2013
