MARYLAND: Lawmaker Calls For Sanctions Against NFL Player Over Marriage Support

"I find it inconceivable that one of your players, Mr. Brendon Ayanbadejo would publicly endorse Same-Sex marriage, specifically as a Raven Football player. Many of my constituents and your football supporters are appalled and aghast that a member of the Ravens Football Team would step into this controversial divide and try to sway public opinion one way or the other. I am requesting that you take the necessary action, as a National Football League Owner, to inhibit such expressions from your employees and that he be ordered to cease and desist such injurious actions. I know of no other NFL player who has done what Mr. Ayanbadejo is doing." - Maryland Rep. Emmett Burns, in a letter to the Ravens' owner.

Holy Bullies also has Ayanbadejo's clip.
