The thought of gay NFL players is just too much for one GOP lobbyist. Jack Burkman is so upset that he is preparing legislation to ban gay men from playing in the NFL:
”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?”
“If the NFL has no morals and no values, then Congress must find values for it,” Burkman said.
Burkman didn’t name any specific lawmakers that are on board with him at this point. There are many, many things that Congress should be concerned with. There are real issues to be dealt with in our country and gay NFL players is not one of them. I would hope the men and women that make our laws recognize that when Burkman comes to them with this idea.
