G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Jeremy Hefner: Give me chicken and my version of Christianity but don't give me grief!With 11 words, Mets pitcher Jeremy Hefner upset some of his fans on Twitter after Wednesday�s game.Those 11 words: "By the way I am a Christian and absolutely love Chick-fil-A!"What followed was a cascade of negative feedback. By Thursday morning, Hefner decided to delete his account."I don�t need that distraction," Hefner told The Record. "Whether I was right or they were right or whoever was right, it�s just unnecessary."Chick-fil-A, a national restaurant chain, angered people who support gay rights when one of its executives recently made comments in support of "the biblical definition of a family." The comments have led to protests and appreciation days.After his tweet, Hefner said people were "sending hateful messages to me. It wasn�t worth it.""They can have their beliefs and their opinions," Hefner said. "It�s fine. But I�m very aware that my opinion probably wasn�t popular. You know what I mean?"But I have the right to have my beliefs as well."
