Besides this issue, has this guy ever made press on pft for his performance as a football player? Can I have news about football and not players personal lives?

Because who better to ask for guidance and validation from in regards to our national morality than the Oakland Raiders?

Chill out swagger52.

All Ayanbadejo is supporting is that you have the right to marry your gay lover, if you so choose. If you think it’s wrong, you’re also free to keep your gay relationship in the closet. It’s your choice.

White, heterosexual, male here…

Highest praise to Mr. Ayanbadejo for his courage to stand for his convictions. He is a trail blazer for progressive and forward-minded thinking in the NFL.

What a wonderful human being.

Yeah that’s it athletes in the spotlight shouldnt speak about issues that are important to them, or their views on civil rights?

@swagger52, you're kidding me right? You start off saying that Ayanbadego should stay out of telling other people what is right and wrong, and then your entire next paragraph you proceed to tell everyone else what is right and wrong? Get a clue, dude. It's over, your side has lost, and as upset as it must make you feel people are slowly starting to be treated as equal (even if you deem them inferior). Stop being on the wrong side of history.

Ayanbadejo shows true bravery. So much respect. I wish more straight men were not threatened by gay marriage and had the guts to stand up for others’ civil rights.

It really doesn’t matter who wins the vote. I mean look at it here in CA, the people voted against Gay Marriage twice and the courts overturned it. Get it to those 9 supreme justices and end this debate once and for all.

The Government and Ayanbadego should stay out of telling other people what is right and wrong.

So I guess all the money that the NFL and their Breast Awareness Month generates for abortions and planned parenthood isn’t enough, they have to take on other morality as well. Why don’t they prove they can solve all the helmet to helmet before they take on headier issues.
