Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe teed off on a Maryland state delegate in a big way Sept. 7, in an open letter posted on Deadspin.
In a profanity-laced polemic in favor of gay rights and free speech, Kluwe ripped Emmett C. Burns Jr., a Maryland politician who asked Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti to silence a player who'd spoken up for gay rights.
Raven Brandon Ayanbadejo has said he favors a ballot initiative in Maryland that would allow gay marriage. In response, Burns told Bisciotti to "inhibit such expressions from your employee."

Chris,
Your letter needs to be published in every newspaper, on-line news site, and tweeter/FB in the Nation! Best letter I ever read to stop this hypocrisy of hate and judgement of fellow Americans.
