Saw this on Joe.My.God, and the link is at the bottom. The role of professional Sports in the fight against homophobia seems to increase daily. As we look towards the upcoming draft and what will happen with Michael Sam, we now see the NFL as well as their Arizona franchise speak out against the AZ anti-gay discrimination law. This is a wonderful development.
NFL franchise the Arizona Cardinals were more direct: “What so many love about football is its ability to bring people together. We do not support anything that has the potential to divide, exclude and discriminate. As a prominent and highly-visible member of this community, we strive to bring positive attention to the state. We are concerned with anything that creates a negative perception of Arizona and those of us who are fortunate to call it home.”
