NFL players on gay rights:
KLUWE: I think it just takes, it would just need to take more of us speaking out about the issue and showing that, you know, it's okay to come out. It's okay to be who you are. Because in the locker room, you know, we'll have your back.
BLOCK: Brendon, what do you think?
AYANBADEJO: Yeah, I mean, I believe it's gonna take the right city, the right organization and the right timing. That's why we're so adamant about this and speaking out, so we can help whoever the next young person is that comes out. So that they can not only, you know, excel in what they're doing at work but also excel as an individual. And in turn, they're going to make us a better place to live and enhance everything.
.....
AYANBADEJO: I think so. I spoke to Dick Cass, the president from the Ravens about this issue and, you know, right now, what do we expect of our players? We expect you to be a good person, we expect you to be a good player, we expect you to get your job done. If you can get your job done and you're also a great player, the type of person that is wanted in the organization, then you're only going to enhance the organization. It doesn't matter what your sexual orientation is.
