Earlier today, a story by Sarah Todd ran on SFBay.ca that detailed former Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson’s stance on gays — and his words were extremely controversial. According to the article, his stance on a gay NBA player being on a team he coached was straightforward: “Not in my locker room.”

While the column has since been deleted from the SFBay.ca domain for an unknown reason, we were able to get a copy of it. Here it is in its entirety:

Is Mark Jackson a terrible person who uses his religion as a way to justify his bigoted views? It’s possible.

However, let us also keep in mind that the Warriors are still trying to justify why they fired him after such a great three years in Golden State. It’d be very easy to sell the public — especially in the San Francisco area — that a man with anti-gay beliefs needed to be fired regardless of what he did on the basketball court.

Let us be cautious with our judgments until the entire truth is revealed.

Thus far, the reactions on Twitter have run the gamut. Click through this gallery to see all the reactions:
