Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo has been a consistent supporter of legalizing same-sex marriage. In 2011, he filmed his own video backing this Novembers ballot initiative in Maryland and posted it on YouTube, and he recently donated Ravens tickets to a Marylanders for Marriage Equality fund-raiser.
of Emmett C. Burns Jr., a Maryland state delegate who opposes same-sex marriage. On Aug. 29, Burns sent a letter to Steve Bisciotti, the Ravens owner, urging him to inhibit such expressions from your employee and that he be ordered to cease and desist such injurious actions.
Burnss letter elicited an aggressive, searing response from another N.F.L. player, Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe, who said he could not sleep after reading the letter Thursday night because he was too infuriated. So he wrote a profanity-laced response to Burns and submitted it to Deadspin.com.
Your vitriolic hatred and bigotry make me ashamed and disgusted to think that you are in any way responsible for shaping policy at any level, Kluwe wrote, adding later: Why do you hate the fact that other people want a chance to live their lives and be happy, even though they may believe in something different than you, or act different than you? How does gay marriage, in any way, shape or form, affect your life?

Imagine the response by NYT if NFL players called for an end to abortion.
Which movie?
Chris of the Vikings, also very cool with sodomy.
NFL? What’s that?
Oh, the same Michael Strahan who is now the sidekick to Kelly "Lame" Ripa, the laughable morning talk show host?
Anyone see an agenda building? I do.
You can already get clues to that from watching how they treat Tim Tebow.
Yes, clear as day.
Why would it be bigotry to acknowledge the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God-—the very Moral Laws of Natural Law Theory that our jurisprudence is based on? The idea of promotion of Vice by a government which is supposed to embrace “Just Law” is really creating sickness for the next generation. To promote any sodomy rights destroys morality and logic and reason in children. The reason why their are “Rights” from Satan in a country based on God=Given Rights is beyond the pale.
A picture paints a thousand words, as they say.
Well said. I will add:
Liberalism is also a sleight of hand, wherein arguments about “equality” are a smoke-screen for subterfuge and the transformation of culture.
Yes. At the rate they are going, it should be the primary color.
The "Gay Card" has become the new "Race Card" in this country.

No, what's shameful and disgusting is two men messing around with each other's filthy anal area and calling it "love" or "marriage."
Thank you... did not know that it could be done. I did laugh at Humblegunner’s page being self-banned. LOL!
Not as hardcore as you but have cut out going to movies and cut back on restaurants.
Pro sporting events are way too expensive anyway. Had to participate in a company outing last summer to attend a SF Giants game. Cost $55.oo plus it was a cold night and they got creamed. Total waste of time and money.
One man’s woody in another man’s butt hole. Now that’s what they call ‘PIGSKIN’.
Once it's approved, it'll be taught in schools.
