Conservative Group Plans To Boycott Any Team That Drafts Michael Sam
Click here for reuse options!If Sam does get drafted, the team that picks him will get to look forward to dealing with Washington, DC lobbyist Jack Burkman who, as part of his campaign to pass legislation that would ban openly gay players from playing in the NFL, is vowing to unleash a “relentness” boycott against the team that drafts him.
Burkman says that he has a “coalition of Evangelical Christian leaders from across the nation” ready to go as soon as Sam is drafted who will teach the NFL that “when you trample the Christian community and Christian values, there will be a terrible financial price to pay.”
In a release issued Thursday, Burkman said he would “leverage his political clout” to ensure that the franchise that selects the 6-foot-2, 260-pound defensive end from Missouri would get “roughed up financially.”
“We shall exercise our First Amendment rights and shall not stop until the drafting NFL franchise cannot sell a single ticket, jersey or autographed football,” said Burkman. “In short, we shall be relentless.”

Just goes to show you, it is not Muslims who seek to impose Sharia law in this country.

I am not a sports fan, but I would go to a game that had this player on its team. There are a lot more of us than closed-minded bigots AKA christians.

I’m not sure how much clout (if any) Jack Burkman has, because I’d never heard of him before i read this article.

He’s been a Republican pundit making the cable rounds for years.

The only difference between them and Islamists is that our country is ruled by law. Islamists twist their holy book to justify their ugly behavior. How are they any different?

ruled by law?? not really since the laws are fabricated by a separate power that really know nothing of the people.

“When you trample Christian values.” I can’t help thinking of the donut metaphor wherein you get angry at someone else for eating one when you are on a diet. I fail to see how one man’s homosexuality has any impact on this yahoo. I also fail to see how allowing him to provide for his family impacts this yahoo either. Boycott if you like, but it seems terribly mean spirited and not Jesus-like at all.

ah pixie yahoos only eat the hole in the doughnut – hence, empty heads.

Christians have such ugly hearts. Michael Sam should be accepted for his talent.

Whoever drafts Michael Sam will become my second favorite team and I will buy a Michael Sam jersey and wear it myself and I don’t wear anything but Packer gear, but I will wear his gear. He or his new team should not have to put up with this kind of hate coming at them!
Cindy Koehn May 8th, 2014 at 18:25
Me too. And I am not a football fan (although if I were, it’d be Packers).
Shades May 8th, 2014 at 19:49
I might just have to buy a jersey myself, and I don’t give a rat’s patooty about football.

This is cracking me up! And how does a lobbyist think he can have a law passed to force the NFL not to hire gay people? Don’t these religious fanatics have lives, or are they secretly gay and living vicariously through this nonsense? I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the bible belt downloads more gay porn than other areas of the country.
fahvel May 9th, 2014 at 04:38
no – they have no lives – when life is based on the faith in a collection of scrolls interpreted by all with a preset idea – there is no life, just the gentle braying of moutons
