Proposal to Ban Gay NFL Players Sent to Congress

A proposal to bar openly gay players from the NFL was released to members of Congress Thursday evening. It would prohibit the league from "employing self-declared homosexual football players."

Earlier this week, lobbyist Jack Burkman predicted that dozens of members of Congress would rally behind his proposal, which he has titled the American Decency Act of 2014. The act would impose fines somewhere between $3 million and $8 million on athletes who come out while active.

His legislation also stipulates that the Department of Justice "shall have the power to enforce this legislation by all appropriate means."

Burkman said the proposal was a direct action following the coming out of NFL hopeful Michael Sam.

Good thing that asswipe is actually losing business over this. Can't wait to see which Congressman takes the challenge.

1. Good grief...

Fines for coming out? When did people lose their freedom of speech?

I'm telling you, people like this need to be institutionalized for their own good.
