Jack Burkman had last week threatened to financially rough up the team that drafted Sam, who joined the Rams on Saturday.
The Republican lobbyist had said on Friday he will leverage his political clout to make sure that team [which takes on Sam] gets roughed up financially.
Today, he announced that he would make good on his threat, beginning a boycott of Visa, which signed an endorsement deal with Sam last week, and his new team the St Louis Rams.
He said: Visa and the Rams will learn that when you trample the Christian community and Christian values, there will be a terrible financial price to pay.

(112,919 posts)and has been hiring for a few decades now? Heck - I remember when Burkman approached a young lesbian couple and offered them a considerable amount of money to come home with him for a 'three way' and they turned him down.
Where does Burkman get his holier than thou attitude? He must be PAID for it. No different than the hookers he employs. Except he's far......far worse.

But the fans came out in droves, and Robinson paved the way for many others who followed. Much to Burkman's imminent chagrin, other LGBT athletes will follow Sam as well, and they will ultimately judged on what they bring to the sport and not on the basis of petty moralistic vendettas.

After all, honoring the Sabbath and keeping it holy is one of the big Ten, and homosexuality is not.
