WALL, N.J. (CitizenWire) — Peter Grandich, founder of Trinity Financial Sports & Entertainment Co, is speaking out in support of former N.Y. Giant David Tyree who has been under intense media scrutiny for some gutsy statements he made about gay marriage. Posted in an online video on June 15, Tyree says he recorded the video because he opposes the notion of gay marriage and says he's simply voicing his opinion.
"I am not political," says Tyree, whose "Helmet Catch" was the defining moment of Super Bowl XLII. "I believe there is right and wrong. I think many things are subjective, but truth is not. Marriage [between a man and woman] is the backbone of our society."
In response to the avalanche of negative comments published about Tyree, Grandich felt compelled to come out in his defense. Grandich blogged on his internationally-followed social and economic blog Grandich.com that he supports Tyree and agrees with his conservative stance. What's more, Grandich says, he applauds Tyree for saying what many believe and don't have the courage to openly state.
"I stand firmly beside Trinity Financial advisory board member David Tyree in the belief that marriage is between a man and woman," says Grandich. "He is a courageous man to say what so many others will not for fear of retribution, yet David is strong in his conviction and that comes first. I admire his passion and faith."
Grandich went on to explain that, "What David has really said was he chooses not to go against the will of his God and that his Lord's words must come before man's. This is not Tyree vs. gays but a God-fearing man's willingness to stand firm in his beliefs," says Grandich. "I wholeheartedly agree with him."
Grandich feels many in the media are taking cheap shots at Tyree because they don't share the same opinion.
"This is America, where freedom of speech is not just guaranteed, but is one of the foundations upon which our country was established," Grandich says. "Though the media is certainly free to report David's opinions, I say shame on them for chastising him for standing up for his beliefs."
