Brendon Ayanbadejo confronts the new American pastime
USA Today published an article today titled "Are gay rights views shifting in NFL?" in which Brendon Ayanbadejo's support for same-sex marriage is put under scrutiny but let's be honest, this whole topic of NFL and homosexuality is not about gay rights for those who make real money off the game. It is about selling the dream of success every father wants for their son and how being gay does not fit into that equation.
First of all a big thank you goes out to Brendon Ayanbadejo and any NFL player with the guts to stand up for marriage equality. In a hyper-masculine world such as the NFL it must be terribly difficult to be straight and support the gay community with balance. Remember,[url=http://giuseppezanottisneakerssale.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti men's sneakers Giuseppe Zanotti Official Outlet Shoes for Sale[/b][/url], to the fans,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]woolrich deutschland women online shop Woolrich Parka Günstig outlet[/b][/url], these men are just popular figures that make a lot of money by carrying a ball into the end zone but these players are real people that make their living by entertaining us and carrying the loyalty,[url=http://peutereyjacketsuppliers.webmium.com/][b]Peuterey Jacket outlet[/b][/url], of that team, on their backs. Just like anyone else that has to go into that factory job or work eight hours,[url=http://woolrichschweizch.gengfl.com/][b]Woolrich Parka Winter Woolrich Online Shop Schweiz Sale Die Gute Qualität Woolrich[/b][/url], these individuals take a risk to express their personal beliefs in their place of work. It gets serious when you jeopardize the means to take care of yourself and that is what we are talking about here.
NFL Football is a full contact sport that has taken the place of baseball as the American pastime. A father dreams of their sons playing the gridiron especially in an African-American dominated sport as football. Again,[url=http://peutereyjacketsuppliers.webmium.com/][b]Peuterey Jacket[/b][/b][/url], you have two hyper-masculine communities that work well together especially against being gay.
When men buy those football tickets,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Online Shop[/b][/url], football cards,[url=http://parajumpersoutletjackets.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers outlet store[/b][/url], jerseys,[url=http://wheretobuyrogerviviershoes.webmium.com/][b]where to buy roger vivier shoes[/b][/url], sports channels,[url=http://wheretobuyrogerviviershoes.webmium.com/][b]buy roger vivier shoes online[/b][/url], go to sports bars or anything else related to the game, we are talking about individuals who buy a piece of that traditional masculine American Dream. We are talking about a billion dollar industry with a tradition tailor made to be passed down from father to son. Not many fathers with "traditional values" want to pass down men sleeping with men or gay-marriage in that vision to their male child.
Let's get right down to the real question. What does being gay have to do with making a touchdown? If a team wins, they just win right? Being gay does not diminish an athlete's ability to play the game so why is it so important to keep "gay" out of the game? It has to do with image.
Just like that American Dream being sold by promoters and owners in the NFL is set off key with the introduction of gay players,[url=http://monclerjacketsformenssale.albirank.net/][b]Cheap Moncler Jackets Womens Sale Moncler Jackets Mens Outlet[/b][/url], it sets profit margins off even keel when that image of strong masculine figures is offset with gay players or straight players supporting marriage equality. In other words no money is made if you don't give your biggest moneymaking supporters want they want and unfortunately that will be heterosexual NFL teams making heterosexual touchdowns.
