Thread from February: Washington Lobbyist Jack Burkman Wants To Ban Gay NFL Players

[AppyPappy]

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.

[NEMDF]

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.

[1rudeboy]

Hey, Burkman . . . we’ve lost. Fall back to a position that we can defend.

Jack Burkman, head of the Washington, D.C. lobbying firm

You can make money doing this?

[shadeaud]

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.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I guess it’s a good thing Kwame Harris was out of the league before he was out of the closet...

[Fido969]

Jack Burman in an attention whore. He’s a buttholes in a town of buttholes he stands out.

[Responsibility2nd]

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

Will Michael Sam be drafted into the NFL? Maybe not

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

[El Cid]

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’.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

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.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds like a false-flag operation to me.

[Dallas59]

I don’t want to know about what kind of ball a player plays with on his own time.

[onedoug]

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

[longtermmemmory]

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.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

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

[Junk Silver]

Sorry Jack, this is the kind of crap the Left pulls. Maybe you could find work getting “Islamaphobe” speakers ousted from their commencement addresses.

On the other hand if someone wants to boycott the entire NFL for letting themselves become shills for Obamacare and gun confiscation I’m all ears.

[Graybeard58]

I wish somebody would call me an “extreme Christian”, I’d wear the label proudly.

[FredZarguna]

His odds of being drafted are no better than 50-50. He had a terrible Combine and his stock cratered. Add to that whatever issues his political agenda brings to a locker room, which no player, even the ones who're closeted gays want, and it's likely he will be signing as a free agent.

If he is drafted, look for the sports media to make a huge deal of it. His homosexuality will be mentioned roughly as often as John Kerry's having been in Vietnam. During the season, we'll hear about his "courage" on every given Sunday.

Here's the scouting report: “There’s production, but he’s short, he’s not a really good athlete and he doesn’t play good against the run. He’s kind of a one-task pass rusher. Just run up the field. And they swallow him up and kind of push him around.”

In a meritocracy, that gay thang doesn't really work. Look for calls for Affirmative Action coming soon to the NFL.
