Mark Birk is a Harvard grad and scored a near perfect score on the Wonderlic. He’s been a heckuva center for a long time.
A principled decision, but one which will, no doubt, adversely affect his career. Remember, Tim Thomas, the Bruins goalie who opted not to pay homage to Obama after winning the Stanley Cup, and was effectively driven off the Bruins and out of the NHL? Professional sports are as liberal as the mainstream media- for example, today mediocre sodomite basketball player Jason Collins is being honored with the first pitch at the Red Sox- Rangers game, ostensibly for the courage of his “struggle”. Repugnant.
