Related: About this forumChargers QB Philip Rivers against gay marriage, endorses Rick Santorum
http://outsports.com/jocktalkblog/2012/03/15/chargers-qb-philip-rivers-endorses-rick-santorum-for-upholding-traditional-marriage/San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers endorsed Rick Santorum for president last week, specifically citing the former Pennsylvania Senators fight against same-sex marriage. Rivers made the announcement before the Republican primary in his home state of Alabama. Said Rivers, in a statement from Santorums campaign:
'I am supporting Rick Santorum for President because of his stance on issues that attack vital Christian values our country was founded upon: no abortion, upholding traditional marriage, defending religious freedom, no euthanasia. Rick Santorum will also fight to create jobs and expand opportunities for all Americans. I am proud to endorse Senator Santorum and do what I can to help him secure the Republican nomination for President of the United States.'
This isnt the first time a San Diego Charger has fought against same-sex marriage rights. In 2008, Jacques Cesaire actively fought to pass Proposition 8, which took away the right to marry for same-sex couples.

with Tim Tebow and Rush Limbaugh.

None of these fundie asshats seem to know American history...how many times does it have to be said that this country was not founded upon any religious values?
Another pro-rape, pro-incest, anti-woman jerk off with no talent!!!

You can repeat that we're not a religious nation until you're blue in the face - it's not getting through that bubble.

(100,108 posts)7. Not only is he a shitty quarterback, he's a complete bigot on top of that.
My San Diego friends hate this guy and the Chargers management for not resigning Drew Brees and keeping this douche. Now he's an admitted bigot too.
