    A So Called Politician Hates Freedom and Tries to cut Off an Innocent NFL

Chris Kluwe sure smashed American politician Emmett C. Burns, Jr. into his place.  Chris Kluwe is just a simple punter for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League yet went head-to-head on with Burns who is a politician from Maryland currently serving his fourth term in the Maryland House of Delegates. Not only is Burns an important politician, but he also is a member of the Democratic Party and represents Maryland's District 10 in Baltimore County. In no way can I understand how on earth this so called politician could pass the qualifications to even be called one.  Burns does not just threaten the owner of the Ravens to cut a player off the team, he violates much more moralities.

I was appalled to see how forceful and disrespectful he was towards NFL’s linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens. Oladele Brendon Ayanbadejo is an innocent football player and human who likes to express his opinions freely just like any of us. Unfortunately, he was rudely insulted as well as threatened to silence himself. Ayanbadejo’s opinion on gays was not even stated as NFL’s football player, but as a normal human being on Twitter.  Luckily, Kluwe confronted this horribly ignorant politician in a bold, humorous, and compelling letter.

Kluwe has won the hearts and support of many who have read his letter to Burns. He writes his letter in an entertaining yet also intellectual and all very true. He sticks up for Ayanbadejo and supports him on his opinions and sets Burns in his place. His reasoning is just plain and simple logic so anyone and everyone can understand it and agree with it. He corrects Burns and fights for Ayanbadejo’s rights like a hero, how could anyone not like or disagree with him? He even writes in a far more intellectual diction along with supporting logic and facts to prove and explain his point.

It is ironic how a politician would forget about the constitution. As Kluwe states, Burns has obviously not read the Constitution considering how horrendously he butchered Ayanbadejo’s freedom of speech rights. Clearly, everyone in this world has his or her own right to speak out whatever their thoughts or opinions are. Apparently, Mr. Burns does not feel this way and rejects our very first amendment. Our hero Kluwe had to reeducate Mr. Burns on morality as well as government. Kluwe also had to teach Burns about history as well seeing how Burns believes that political views do not have a place in sports. Of course again, I suppose history and segregation mean nothing to Burn as well. The man does not make any sense; he’s contradicting his profession with what he thinks are morals. Seriously, how this man ever became a politician I will never understand.

Included in our hero’s letter is his beautiful and insightful commentary. Everything he says is all completely true and makes perfect sense. Kluwe believes and loves freedom why doesn’t Burns? Kluwe supports people whether they are different or not in any shape or form so why doesn’t Burns? Is it so wrong to speak your beliefs and express them? It is obvious that our so called politician strong thinks so. After compiling all the evidence and admiring Kluwe’s inspirational work, it is just completely unfathomable that Burns is a politician let alone a human.
