Post #386,851 by rcareaga 2/25/14 12:26:28 PM Reply	Here's another gobbet of raw meat ...for your necklace: Washington lobbyist Jack Burkman on Monday said he is preparing legislation that would ban gay athletes from joining the National Football League. Burkman in a statement said he has garnered political support for the bill, though his statement didnÂt mention any specific lawmakers who are behind it. ÂWe are losing our decency as a nation,Â Burkman said in a statement. "Imagine your son being forced to shower with a gay man. ThatÂs a horrifying prospect for every mom in the country. What in the world has this nation come to?Â ... ÂIf the NFL has no morals and no values, then Congress must find values for it,Â Burkman said. http://thehill.com/b...ban-gays-from-nfl First they came for the florists and I said nothing, for I have allergies. Then they came for the bakers and confectioners and I said nothing, for I am gluten-intolerant. Then they came for the offensive line, and I was offended. cordially,
