Horrified at the prospect of gay players being allowed to be drafted into the NFL, a Washington lobbyist has introduced a bill that, if passed, would ban gay players from the NFL. 

Jack Burkman, a Washington lobbyist who bills himself as a "Republican strategist," has drafted legislation to be introduced to Congress that would ban gay players from being drafted into the NFL. According to Sports Illustrated, Burkman -- who feels that prostitutes are A-OK when it comes to "moral decency," but gay people most definitely are not -- feels that this is the only way to preserve what's left of America's pride. "We are losing our decency as a nation," Burkman said in a statement. "Imagine your son being forced to shower with a gay man. That's a horrifying prospect for every mom in the country. What in the world has this nation come to?"

(Just based off that statement alone, it seems that Burkman's had that thought on more than one occasion, and that's a prospect that is NOT uncomfortable for him in the least. Allegedly, of course. This is ALL "allegedly.")

This outcry, according to the New York Daily News, is a direct slam against football player Michael Sam, who -- if drafted -- will become the first openly gay player in the NFL. His "coming out" has been greeted with overwhelming support, including public support from both President Barack Obama and the NFL.

While lobbyists cannot introduce bills directly to Congress, it hasn't stopped Burkman from trying, and this pathetic display of hate disguised as decency didn't go unnoticed by Sam, who took to Twitter to slam Burkman for his despicable behavior. 

"Jack Burkman is going to need a Delorian, not some bogus bill, if he wants to prevent gay athletes from being in the locker room," Sam wrote.
