From an interview Scott Fujita did with the Huffington Post:

SF: I think for me it was a cause that I truly believe in. By in large in this country the issue of gay rights and equality should be past the point of debate. Really, there should be no debate anymore. For me, in my small platform as a professional football player, I understand that my time in the spotlight is probably limited. The more times you have to lend your name to a cause you believe in, you should do that.

Wow! The world is really changing! Normally, the football jocks would be the first to bash gay and “not so masculine” guys but now, more of them are on our side! I think that Prop 8. won’t be permanent!

I don’t get the comment about the NHL. Are the Saints a hockey team?

Fantastic to see another athlete strip away the nonsense and talk about gay marriage in pure commonsense terms ….. and when the sky does not fall on his head , and god doesnt strike him down with a bolt of lightning maybe more people will slowly come to the realisation that this is , as he put it , ‘a human issue’ .

I actually knew this guy in college. He is extremely smart and everyone who knew him back then had a ton of respect for him. It doesn’t surprise me at all that he would say this.

I doubt him considering himself culturally Japanese makes him more accepting of gay marriage. Kind of an odd statement to make. And he’s right, a decade or two and people will begin to change how they view gays marrying. Baby steps.
