Simple Words on inclusion and community

THE Ohio State Buckeyes Coach on how he'd deal with gay player, "We strive to teach and model appreciation for everyone. One, we are a family. If you haven't learned form your family at home that people have differences and those strengthen the whole, then you are hopefully going to learn it as a part of the Ohio State football family.

Two, every part of our team is important and every role has value - no job is too small and no person is irrelevant - that's a great lesson that transcends society. When I think of the diversity on our team the past few years, it goes way beyond just a racial, sexual or ethnic mix... Whatever a young man feels called to express, I hope we will help him do it in a supportive environment."
