GOP lobbyist drafting bill to ban gay players from the NFL
By Mike Dyce
NFL Draft prospect and defensive end Michael Sam is set to become the first openly gay player in the NFL. There has been a lot of support for Sam, but there has also been some backlash as well. Now one GOP lobbyist is preparing to introduce a bill that would ban gay athletes from the NFL.
"Washington lobbyist Jack Burkman on Monday said he is preparing legislation that would ban gay athletes from joining the National Football League (NFL).Burkman in a statement said he has garnered political support for the bill, though his statement didn’t mention any specific lawmakers who are behind it.“We are losing our decency as a nation,” Burkman said in a statement. “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?”"
I doubt there is anyway this could actually get passed but it is crazy to think someone would go this far.
