Friday marked a historic day in the history of equal rights in America, as the Supreme Court ruled that individual states can no longer make same-sex marriage illegal. As soon as the ruling was announced, you knew it was only a matter of time before a professional athlete said something dumb on Twitter.

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Josh Robinson volunteered to be one of the first.

In a series of tweets, Robinson essentially drew a comparison between same-sex marriage and pedophilia.

"Love is love? So what will we say when the 30yr old loves YOUR 10 year old. When the dad loves HIS 6 year old?" Robinson wrote. "It's different?? Yea okay! The day one person makes that stand, some may support, but many will say that's sick! That day I will say 'hypocrites' #untilthen.

"When did we start defining a word by using that word? Smh. If you really want to know. Love is... 1Cor 13:1-13."

But don’t worry, Robinson meant it in the most respectful way possible.

"In the end EVERYONE has a right to believe what they want to believe," he later added. "You shared yours, I shared mine."

Robinson is certainly correct about everyone having the right to believe what they want, but we also reserve the right to call him a moron for expressing those beliefs. We know one Pro Bowler who is teammates with Robinson who might even agree with him.
