They are saying that Freeze is consistently self-righteous


This is the modern day term for "outspoken Christian"

I've never heard the man condescend to the media or a player or an individual as it relates to his being more holy or more spiritual than someone else.

I would like to see someone produce examples.

The hyperbolic rush to judgment on this board towards every situation facing every team becomes hard to stomach. I like the lampooning every now and again but some of it is deplorable.

I agree, many see "Christian proclaiming the gospel" as "self-righteous" no matter the situation or persons actions.

I think he seems like a pretty genuine guy, but then again I've seen a lot of public people who seemed genuine and real turn out to be frauds. Freeze has the advantage of recently being a non-big timer and most of the people who knew him then saying he's always been this kind of guy (good man), so I tend to believe him.

Either way, like I said above, people get pigeon holed by the media and ANYTHING they do outside that box is perceived as being done for their own good. Again, look at Nick Saban. Guy gives tons of money, has multiple charities, does tons of specific giving/projects around town (scholarships, houses, new student Catholic center, etc) regularly attends mass, etc etc. Anything he does like that is automatically laughed out or sarcastically acknowledged.

It's the way things work these days.
