When Brendon Ayanbadejo was released by the Baltimore Ravens, some questions arose about whether it was because of his LGBT activism. When Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was cut this week, you would have thought the NFL declared war on West Hollywood.

They weren’t the only ones cut from their teams this offseason.
We also touch on Tim Tebow’s trouble finding a new team and how that has much more to do with being a terrible quarterback than anything else (see: Michael Vick). “Media circus” aside, he is simply not good enough to play in the NFL.
