NFL Draft Prospect Michael Sam (DE/OLB - Missouri) comes out

[StPaulHusker]

Is it wrong I laughed at his first tweet?

...powerful lobbyist Jack Burkman, who said in a Monday statement that he is preparing legislation that would ban all gay players from the NFL.

 

“We are losing our decency as a nation,” Burkman’s statement said. “Imagine your son being forced to shower with a gay man. That’s a horrifying prospect for every mom in the country. What in the world has this nation come to?” [...]

 

“If the NFL has no morals and no values, then Congress must find values for it,” Burkman concluded in a statement.

 

That happened.
