Ravens' Ayanbadejo plans Super Bowl same-sex marriage blitz

http://www.csnbayarea.com/49ers/ravens-ayanbadejo-plans-super-bowl-same-sex-marriage-blitz


Brendon Ayanbadejo isn’t keeping his intentions a secret. He’s going to talk -– a lot -- about legalizing same-sex marriage during the media blitz at the Super Bowl when the Ravens arrive Monday.

He plans on going on The Ellen DeGeneres Show if the Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 3 in New Orleans.

“Organically, it was going to happen anyway,” said Ayanbadejo a linebacker and key special-teams player in his 10th season, of the inevitable questions to come after his vocal support for upholding a marriage equality law in Maryland in November.

“There (are) still 47 or so states that don’t have it passed. It needs to be passed federally. Why not be the person to carry that message not only to the United States but to the rest of the world? I have this huge platform. The whole world is watching.
