Minnesota Vikings Player Tweets on Gay Marriage Ruling

and it's fucking appalling and disgusting.

The coward Josh Robinson already 'protected' his Twitter account.

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Josh Robinson compared gay marriage to pedophilia and incest in a series of Twitter posts on Friday following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marriage.


While a number of athletes praised the Court's decision, Robinson questioned whether the logic that has led to the legalization of gay marriage could also allow the justification of pedophilia and incest.

Here are the tweets:

Love is love? So what will we say when the 30yr old loves YOUR 10 year old. When the dad loves HIS 6 year old? It's different?? Yea okay!

The day one person makes that stand, some may support, but many will say that's sick! That day I will say "hypocrites" #untilthen

When did we start defining a word by using that word? Smh. If you really want to know. Love is... 1Cor 13:1-13

In the end EVERYONE has a right to believe what they want to believe. You shared yours, I shared mine. #BelieveiT

Actually I would just kick his ass off the team. Tired of these "manly" types trying to get attention. The NFL should boot his dumb ass out of the league and take part of his pay.

The Twin Cities is an LGBT friendly, progressive community. The outrage will be loud and vocal.

Just watch.

And the Vikings front office has become exceedingly sensitive to bad PR after the Adrian Peterson incident.

tossed anyhow. Now it's a sure thing. Not a strong CB, at all. History. The local news already is on this. Like I said, watch.

Most likely because someone smarter than he is (probably his agent), told him it was a good idea in order to contain the fallout.

I'm pretty sure his team and/or the league will take some kind of action against him.

I'm sure he knows that. He hasn't performed well, and probably won't be in the roster this year. He's done as a Viking. This just finished the job.

I'm not sure what team would be willing to take on the baggage for such a shitty player. Even if they do he just cut his salary in half or less.

Not at all. He is not a fan of stupidity.

Robinson may have just picked up his ticket to a new team.

Vikings have lots of LGBT fans, and the team needs all the fans it can get. I think this CB is gone by the end of next week.

Gives them license to act in ways normal loving adults would never act.
