I doubt he is even gay. He’s just trying to bump his draft.
There have been gay players in the past. There are probably some now.

This should be interesting to see. Kind of like the liberals’ attack on Chick-Fil-A and Duck Dynasty, huh? But what do you want to bet the democrat politicians and all of the MSM just GO NUTS about what an evil thing this type of boycott would be.

Give me a break. As previously stated we have had homosexuals in sports since the ancient Greeks. This clown is as worthless as the homosexuals who prance around like fairies and protest for equality and then some.

There's speculation this "receiver" may not even be drafted. Being gay is his strong suit.

What about all the teams drafting known thugs and criminals? This is just ridiculous.

To follow it through to its logical conclusion he should also advocate the banning of adulterers, philanderers, thieves, murderers, sinners in general...
It is true that homosexuality is a sin, and the sinner should be warned - not celebrated - but you can't ban him from a job because he is a sinner (or no one would work).

“’We shall exercise our First Amendment rights and shall not stop until the drafting NFL franchise cannot sell a single ticket, jersey or autographed football,’ said Burkman. ‘In short, we shall be relentless.’ ...”
The FAGGOT jerseys will have a very limited appeal and consumer base.
The urban Yutes are about the only ones that buy the crap, and not very many will want ‘Queer Gear’.

Count me out of this boycott. It sounds like someone trying to gin up publicity and $$$$$ for his lobbying group. Besides, I could care less if an NFL team has a gay player as long as he isn’t pushing gay issues and wearing like a badge of honor.

I love football but hate the NFL so I’m in. I’ll boycott every game of the season.

How does it bump his draft?
No team is going to want the liability of drafting him, then cutting him.....Why even bother to draft him in the first place, with the circus it would create?

which NFL team wants to commit suicide.
which NFL team want to be the “homosexual team”
the second a team hires this homosexual their logo will become synonymous with homosexuals and no self respecting normal person will want to be associated with it.

Let's say he doesn't get drafted. Will there by a homo backlash against all of the NFL GM's for being homophobic?
