A Republican Lobbyist Is Trying To Get Gay Football Players Banned From The NFL

Even Burkman concedes that conservatives like himself are supposed to
find it abhorrent when the government tells a private business how to
conduct its affairs.

"However," he added, "there are times when
that is trumped for reason of great urgency or necessity. And I think
this is it, because I see the society sliding in the wrong direction."

"I
felt that if the NFL doesn't have any morals, and people like
[Commissioner] Roger Goodell, who are just go-along-get-along guys, just
want to appease advertisers, appease corporate America and all that
stuff," he said, "I figured, well, it is time for conservatives in
Congress to step in and define morality for them."

I don't suppose looking at the health and safety of football players would constitute a moral issue.

But as RonCo would say, there's more:

He is also not necessarily the best person to wage a fight over decency and morality. A few years back, his name was reportedly found on the D.C. madam's list of clients of high-end prostitutes.

"The story simply was false," he said. "I'll say what I said on the air at the time. It is simply a false story. The numbers listed were never mine. It was planted by somebody in the liberal blog world."

"My life has been far from perfect. I am hardly any type of embodiment of moral perfection," he added. "But I have never let that stop me from doing what I think is right for the nation."

Good to know he will protect me.
