I am sure the NFL is quaking in fear at the thought of being boycotted by the GBLT community members who don't watch anyway. The ones that watch will be more interested in the game than your political delusions.

They are a fundamentalist hate group, plain and simple.
You are 100 percent spot on as usual!

Don't forget "pathetic" also. Fake. They just prey off the religious peoples fears. "OMFG! THE UNBORN! THE BABIES" SARAH PALIN!!!!! SAVE US!

Some of them just cannot stand the fact that women work and can control their bodies.

They just cannot accept things other than their version of "traditional values".

Gays and lesbians are NEVER going to go away. Abortion will NEVER go away. Deal with it the right way instead of crying "wahhhhh the unborn" or "wahhh if we let gays get married, my marriage wont mean much!"

I never suggested anything about boycotting the NFL. Professional sports, in general, exalt homophobia and heterosexual male masculinity, as if it's the only kind of masculinity. Openly gay players are not respected, and thus remain closeted for most, if not all of their careers. They are devalued if they are open about who they are.

The fact that this ad will be running, and that this conservative stance on abortion by a known hate group is being endorsed by a player, is unsurprising, given that it is the NFL, but despicable nonetheless.

Uhhhh? The only people crying appear to be those unhappy about the commercial being shown during the SB.

My stance is that pro abortionist groups and their supporters are hate groups. You have your own opinion. Whats the difference?

I think the "prolife" group is horribly pathetic and disgusting but I am not crying about it or calling for a boycott. Why? Because they have the right to air whatever garbage they want.


The real whiners are the people who cannot stand that I (as a woman) have RIGHTS to MY body and life.

Why do you even ask? It stands for women controlling/hating. What else?

The only issue that I could never compromise on is this one. "Prolife" is anti woman simply in my eyes.

You have the right to "control" your body.

At the same time, other women, who feel totally opposite than you, who oppose abortion, have exactly the same right as you to express their opposition.

Why put control in quotes?

And why do you even bother trying to tell me that?I know they have the same rights as me. I don't CARE that they do. I think those women are stupid as hell but whatever. They have the right to oppose freedom and be anti American.
