Solid backing by Saint, Fujita unafraid to support gay rights
Boston Globe ^ | February 3, 2010 | Adam Kilgore

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - When the request arrived in an e-mail last fall, Scott Fujita replied immediately and without reservation. A friend had asked him his opinion. He answered. That was how Fujita looked at it.

The swiftness and certitude of Fujita’s reply stunned Dave Zirin, the friend who sent the e-mail. Zirin had not made a typical request, not for an NFL linebacker. He was looking for a professional athlete to lend his name to the National Equality March, a rally in Washington for gay rights.

I don't follow the NFL much but thought this would be of interest to some.

I’m still backing my Saints. One player does not kill 41 years of loyalty.

You'd feel different towards New Orleans if you had lived in Houston during the great septic clean out known as Katrina. NO was a cesspool. Texas opened it's arms to Louisiana and we were raped, robbed and murdered as thanks. FUNO!

Bingo. I am over 6ft tall. Where are the over 6ft tall “rights”.

I like buttered bagels. Where are my, likes buttered bagels, “rights”

Does every quirk or idiosyncrasy or preference come with a “right”?

I’m telling you, the current state of America is insane.

I did not say I support New Orleans. Believe it or not, the city and the Saints are not the same... well, the part of the city you experienced and the Saints are not. In other words, I do not disagree with you about so much of what is gone from the city now.

If anything, New Orleans is not a “chocolate city” any longer. Instead, I suppose you could call it a “taco city.” The portions that are back now are not the result of the failures of Liberalism; they are those who through industry rebuilt their lives. (for the most part)

That’s what they said about Brady, Warner, the other Manning brother, and Favre.

Fujita (who dat?) supports gay rights. Well ain’t that special? I don’t support gay rights so I guess that cancels his vote out.
