"I Was An NFL Player Until I Was Fired By Two Cowards and a Bigot"

[Marco Polo]

The Vikings organization and the NFL could be sued if any of this is true from the special teams coordinator.

I can't imagine the depths of lawsuits that would accrue if any leader in my organization said some of the things that the special teams coordinator said.

Not to turn this into a Duck Dynasty/religion conversation but you can have your opinion, you just can't say those vile things ("nuke it until it glows") while representing your organization.

Ignore the law for a moment. Do you not see the absurdity of comparing two consenting adults activity to molestation and bestiality?

This has been gone over multiple times. Either read the thread and participate as an adult, or get back over to the kiddie table where you seem to belong.

As I said, there are adults talking here.

You want to claim a rational argument now? Your argument is completely absurd.

Also, a good portion of those laws were just against sodomy without specifying whether it was conducted by heteros or homos. Nice attempt to justify the absurdity of your argument though.

No it hasn't. Answer my question. We're discussing the absurdity of your argument not JDiddy's poor attempt at an argument. Try and keep up or show yourself over to the kiddie table.

Yeah, I lived on the East Coast most of my life. Believe me, they're no more open minded. Just as racist or bigoted as anyone else.

Took a while, but I finally dug deep enough to find the posts that started all this angry nonsense.

The claim (adults having sex with children harms the children) is true in such an overwhelming number of cases, well over 95%, that the law is justifiable even if it harms the very, very few kids who may have been able to handle it and have to wait a few more years.

There is no rational basis for similar laws discriminating against gays or their behavior, other than "ewww, thats gross".

Brendon Ayanbadejo: Chris Kluwe Is '100% Right' In Claiming Vikings Cut Him For Gay Rights Support (VIDEO)

Brendon Ayanbadejo believes Chris Kluwe is "100% right" in claiming his views led to him losing his job in the NFL. Kluwe, the punter for the

Minnesota Vikings from 2005 through 2012 , claimed he was cut by the team in May 2013 over his support of same-sex marriage in an explosive first-person article published by Deadspin on Thursday.

Hours after Kluwe's allegations sent shockwaves through the NFL, TMZ caught up with Ayanbadejo, another former NFL player who has been an outspoken advocate for marriage equality. The former Baltimore Ravens linebacker who last played during the 2012 season offered his full support to Kluwe and backed his allegations against the Vikings.

"He's 100% right and I've been saying it all along from the start," Ayanbadejo told TMZ. "You're talking about a guy who was the first or second in every punting category in terms of performance in Minnesota Vikings history."

In the scathing piece titled "I Was An NFL Player Until I Was Fired By Two Cowards And A Bigot ," Kluwe not only alleged he was fired for his support of same-sex marriage but also accused Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer of making anti-gay comments during team meetings. In separate statements released on Thursday, the Vikings and Priefer denied Kluwe's claims.

Ayanbadejo's comments to TMZ came after he noted on Twitter that he and Scott Fujita, another former NFL player who has publicly advocated for LGBT rights , retired by choice while Kluwe did not.

First, I'd love to know where you got the data to back up your claim of 95%. Second, you know you're full of shit what the claim that there's no rational basis for discriminating against homosexuals, so there's really no need to deal with that one.

I guess you're just going to ignore my posts. Not surprising.

Also, what's the rational basis to discriminate against homosexuals?

You don't seem to understand his argument. I think he's right that you should simply step back.

You must not have dug deep enough. This wasn't originally an argument about whether one lifestyle should be legal and another should be illegal.

No, I understand his argument and am now pointing out how absurd it is.

He may well be right, but what would Ayanbadejo know about the reasons for Kluwe's release?
