Adrian Peterson says he's against gay marriage

[cnc]

Wonder how long it will be before the gay rights crusade start putting the pressure on him and the NFL, especially because he's the reigning league MVP. I salute him for stating his honest feelings.

NFL MVP Adrian Peterson says he has family members who are gay whom he loves and respects. But on gay marriage, the Minnesota Vikings running back says "that's not something I believe in."


Peterson made his comments last week in an interview with with Sirius/XM NFL Radio. He was asked his thoughts on the Vikings cutting longtime punter Chris Kluwe, an outspoken advocate for gay rights and gay marriage.

"It hurt me to see him leave," Peterson said.

Peterson says he considers Kluwe a good friend but he differs with the punter on the subject for gay marriage.

"To each his own, [but] I'm not with it," he said. "I have relatives who are gay. I'm not biased towards them. I still treat them the same. I love 'em. But again, I'm not with that. That's not something I believe in. But to each his own," he said.

The running back said he didn't believe the Vikings released Kluwe, who has since signed with the Oakland Raiders, because of his outspoken nature.

"I'm sure the Vikings organization didn't release him based on that," he said. "They know Kluwe. They've been knowing him for a long time. They know he's outspoken."

Gay marriage will become legal in Minnesota on Aug. 1.

Props to ALL DAY...Im glad he stood up against the feminized agenda thats being agressively thrown at MEN at every fucking angle. Men need to say what we feel and fuck an apology about it

 

[tallblacknyc]

it's funny how they always try to throw all these controversial questions at these athletes..it's like he's a running back shouldn't all questions be football or sports related..fuck does gay marriage have to do with rushing, touchdowns, awards, etc

best way to respond

interviewer: so what do u think of gay marriage

ap: it's not in the playbook so i do not understand the words dat are coming out of ur mouth

Exactly, i would've told them i'm not gay so it doesn't affect me one way or the other

 

[Dawgnme]

Man, so the fuck what? AD is from Palestine, and there 'aint shit to do in east Texas but play football and go to church.

 

[duppy_maka]

I can respect it.

 

[AwwSchitt]

he didn't say anything bad. Dude said what most people say, "to each is own, but it aint for me". No story there.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

where's that article where they were talking about saying something like this is a new type of homophobia

Pretty much, plus there was no quote of the actual question, but either way, he didn't really disrespect anyone as far as I can see......fuckm media.​

Yea, he'll be fine.

Until the gay mafia gets a hold of this and make his endorsements flee.

Or that tweet from that other football player who said that they can't speak their mind even though they disagree with something...

No sword formed against Purple Jesus shall prosper. He can say whatever the fuck he wants and not a single fuck will be given.

Sensationalist title by the author of the article.

What he ultimately said was, "That's not something I believe in. But to each his own".

 

[DaAssWatcher]

Its funny how peoples Christian beliefs they held their whole lives can now be used against them to paint them as some villian.

 

[Ill Paragraph]

Peace,

If he were a mediocre rusher, this would be something.

That's why I hate when folks try label Black people as oversensitive. We might make a little noise when someone is actually disrespectful but you can't even say what you feel without worrying about these rainbow warriors ruining your life

 

[Mad Genius]

fair enough

pretty much. asked and answered. there's nothing controversial here to make a big deal about.

 

[ron_mexico]

Even if he did blast homos..what they gonna do, drop or trade him?.. with Christian Ponder at QB...

 

[Ceenote]

Nothing wrong with his comment.. should b good.. but we will c how things turn out!!

 

[durham]

he was respectful about it, spoke his truth...simple as that, leave him the fuck alone


keep the gay shit out of football, for goodness sake, I hope all these athletes just say next question, to all these probing reporters searching for a scoop

It's more like. Ignoring the issue. Acting as if it's not an issue. Is the same as agreeing with those who're against. Pretending it's not there because it doesn't affect YOU. Is what the article was saying.

I don't have an issue with a differing opinion. Never in a million years. It's when that differing opinion, can effect peoples lives on a larger scale is when we have the problems.

Adrian expressed his belief. It is his view. Why can't we all have our own views? And not enforce them on others?

we should be able to.

we should be able to not feel any kind of way about it negative or positive as well.

if someone wants to treat gay/lesbian/transgender etc like normal everyday people such as heterosexuals that shouldn't be an issue either right?

Right All Day!

It'd be wonderful. But ignoring that there's an issue. Is part of the problem.

 

[Dr. Truth]

Who gives a shit about gay marriage. I'd answer , so what are your thoughts on strait marriage? I don't give a fuck about you or your wife so why should I give a fuck about some fags?

THIS

 

[crossovernegro]

I can't see why pressure would be put on his team or the league for his statements. He didn't disparage anyone, etc.... just said it wasn't something he believed in. Now if he's asked to follow up on what he said, there is a danger that eventually he'll walk right into something.

...and that's the exact quote they could've (well, should've) used for the headline as well. But of course not.



...and again I say...fuckn media.​

 

[The Technician]

No big deal to me. That's his views or beliefs and he's entitled to them.

 

[roblo]

They might try to chik fil-A the homie now. You know you can't disagree with gay marriage these days.
