February 6 is Super Bowl Sunday, but to a few NFL players it’s also National Porn Sunday.
That might sound like a day when players who aren’t in the big game will take their mind off football by watching a lot of porn, but it’s actually an anti-pornography event taking place near Dallas, sponsored by an organization called XXX Church. Packers defensive end Ryan Pickett was scheduled to attend, but since he’ll be playing in the game instead, he’s taped a video message to be played there.
“I would love to have been with you guys today. But fortunately, I’m a little busy,” Pickett says in the video, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Former NFL quarterback Josh McCown also appears in the video, saying he stopped watching pornography because it was “taking me someplace I didn’t want to go.” And Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is a supporter of XXX Church as well.
Antonio Cromartie would probably reply that Hasselbeck doesn’t know what XXX stands for.
