Texans owner Bob McNair crushed by Chris Kluwe over his contribution to anti-LBGT group
Last week, Houston Texans owner Bob McNair dropped $10,000 into the coffers of a group dedicated to defeating a Houston equal-rights ordinance that would offer non-discrimination protections to, among other groups, gay and transgender residents.
McNairs support for the ordinance, which is up for repeal on the ballot next month, did not escape the attention of former NFL punter Chris Kluwe, an outspoken equal-rights advocate who rather effectively obliterated McNair in an open letter published on SI.coms The Cauldron.
Surely, I said to myself, one of the NFLs thirty-two owners, businessmen with more accumulated wealth than most third world nations and completely vested in the well-being of the society that afforded them such success
surely this man could not be a pants-on-head, cowhumping glue-huffer stupid enough to buy in on clearly outdated ideals of bigotry and intolerance?
Sadly, however, it appears I must hide my livestock, because the facts do not lie. You have, indeed, donated $10,000 to a cause whose sole purpose is to denigrate a specific group of American citizens. Which begs the question WHY?
Why does the idea of LBGT individuals enjoying the same rights and protections as everyone else fill you with such hatred, such loathing, that you would voluntarily choose to make their lives even more difficult than the prejudice theyve faced for decades? Is it too much time spent watching your vanity sports purchase fail to accomplish anything more meaningful than a JJ Watt cellphone commercial that hardens your heart towards those facing a drastically elevated risk of suicide compared to the general population?
