The New England Patriots are for same-sex marriage. So are the San Francisco Giants.

The reigning baseball and football champions, along with baseball's small-market Tampa Bay Rays, are among the thousands of businesses, religious groups, advocacy organizations and politicians who are filing legal briefs at the Supreme Court in support of gay marriage.

The Patriots play in Massachusetts, the first state to allow same-sex couples to marry, and the Giants represent a city that is notable for its gay and lesbian community.

Rays president Brian Auld said it was important that his team stand up, as well.

"We're a small but visible business and I actually think it's important that we send this signal of inclusion to the entire region," Auld said in a telephone interview Thursday as he watched the Rays' first spring training game in Port Charlotte, Florida.

The team also has participated in the "It Gets Better" project to encourage gay and lesbian teenagers who've been bullied.

Professional sports has really gotten into the sexual deviancy thing these days. Probably from watching too much ESPN.

The owners of New England Patriots organization are for same-sex marriage.

There fixed it.

I think it is a little unfair to any players on the other side of the issue to be labelled a proponent of gay marriage.

Don't blame us, we lost game 7. (Should have waved Butler home instead of holding him at third.)

People both on and off the bench have lost all concept of what the difference is between legislative and judicial.

And you guys just keep giving your money to the NFL and thinking you engaged in some manly activity by watching it.

Maybe when they find their stadiums empty and ratings in the toilet, that then will they shut up and play the stupid game.

Exactly. Plus keep in mind that they represent the sickest cities on each coast, where the competition for that dubious honor is most intense.

And I think that all illegal aliens should live in those two spots.

Let’s see how diverse and tolerant they really are.

The Moral Bankruptcy and march to deviancy started a long time ago.
