LeRoy Butler played for the Green Bay Packers from 1990-2001. Since retiring, he's made speaking appearances through his foundation.
On Monday, like many in both the sports and non-sports worlds, Butler's thoughts turned to Jason Collins. He tweeted this:
Congrats to Jason Collins
Congrats to Jason Collins-- leroy butler
And apparently, Butler says, a certain church in Wisconsin was not pleased.
Wow, I was schedule to speak at a church in WI, and a member said that the pastor wants to cancel my event, I said ok why?
