BA believes he was cut partially because of his activism
I'm not sure how long this will be on the main board but......

IMO, there are too many other legitimate reasons for his release (age, declining skills, future vision of defense) for him to insinuate this.Tom Rock @TomRock_Newsday
EXCLUSIVE: Brandon Ayanbadejo says his role in gay rights issue is one reason he was cut by the Ravens - http://www.newsday.com/sports/footba...on-he-was-cut-
At the end of the day the team, I'm pretty sure, would rather have the PR from a guy at the forefront of an issue like gay marriage as opposed the PR associated with allegedly cutting him for that reason.

Re: BA believes he was cut partially because of his activism
Full of crap. I honestly have a hard time believing he would even have said that. Ozzie and harbs even said they haven't closed the door on bringing him back at a reduced contract

Disappointing to hear but I'd like to know specifically why he thinks so

Re: BA believes he was cut partially because of his activism
Players have a hard time understanding the real reason(s) why they are let go by teams.
So they come up with stuff like this.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

He's not saying that was the reason he was cut just that it might have been a factor and in truth it could have been.One of the reasons, not the reason.

What is the actual quote?

Re: BA believes he was cut partially because of his activism
Even if it was a partial reason, it shouldn't be surprising, nor any kind of indictment of the team. It is a controversial topic, has nothing to do with football, and the during-the-season activism could easily be seen as a distraction.

Re: BA believes he was cut partially because of his activism
I applaud him for his stance on gay rights, discrimination shouldnt be tolerated, but you hit the nail on the head. Some players would rather it be for a worse reason than that their own skill level has dropped. Hes reaching on this one but without being political the FO has plenty of reasons.

Re: BA believes he was cut partially because of his activism
I'd like to believe the author just took something out of context...since no one is able to read the article, I'll reserve judgement.
I've been one of BA's biggest advocates, but I don't believe the Ravens would really do that, and if he really said it, that's sad and yes, would likely close the door on any kind of relationship with the club long term..

“When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. That’s the Baltimore Raven way.” - Steve Smith Sr.
