Cool.

Tweet some "thank yous" to him.

[rideurlightning]

Man this is unreal. It's one endorsement to the next. He's catching on.

[Endthefednow]

Sorry, rideurlightning he is NOT Catching on, but on FIRE!!

[ronpaulfollower999]

Another player from the AFC North.

[bluesc]

That's awesome dude :). I hope the fundraiser is going well.

[trey4sports]

too cool!

[Okie RP fan]

Another player from the AFC North.

Noticed that also. Need some guys from the NFC East now... ;)

[robmpreston]

When was the RevPac thing? Any other news about that? Looks empty there, lol.

Anyways, I live for the Ravens and live in Bmore. Glad to see Carr is a smart guy ;) His play has also improved in the last couple of years. Went from cringeworthy to a decent player.

[rideurlightning]

Sorry, rideurlightning he is NOT Catching on, but on FIRE!!

I submit to you sir.

[ropo]

wow, not as big as peyton hillis but still a solid endorsement

[bluesc]

When was the RevPac thing? Any other news about that? Looks empty there, lol.

Maybe (hopefully) before it started? Hope someone can update us on it.

[Nirvikalpa]

:D More of a reason to love that team.

[The Gold Standard]

There is a reason the AFC North is the best division in football. Too bad the others have to beat up on my hapless Browns.

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

This will actually mean something in my area as there is a lot of Ravens love.

Lil Ray Rice ran all over your defense ;)

If you want to call it "defense". I really don't need to be reminded. Thursday night is going to be ugly too.

Best division in the NFL?

Having the Ravens and Steelers doesn't constitute that, come on! The Bengals were finally exposed for who they really are Sunday, their last five games were against teams no better than .500, if I remember correctly.

I will say that it is a tough division, and probably top 4 in all. But, best? Nah.

Being a Steelers fan should trouble you greatly :)

It is hard finding room for all of those trophies sometimes.

Record wise, we have the most competitive division in football.

[KramerDSP]

If only some Steeler and Ravens players stood in solidarity of Ron Paul before an NFL game. That would generate amazing amounts of publicity. I know it's impossible, ha. But the idea reminds me of this video from 2007, when Michigan and Ohio State students got together to support Ron Paul while everyone was entering the stadium.

True story - the Rooney family that owns the steelers have always been traditionally Republicans . Then Obama came to town and I guess promised the team owner that he would become ambassador to Ireland if he switched his support over. You see, we Pittsburghers are so in to our football team, a Rooney endorsement can go a long way. And PA was vital to the election. So Rooney endorsed him and now he's the ambassador to Ireland.

BUT, Pittsburgh is also the birthplace of Ron Paul. And some of his sons are loyal Steeler fans.

[Okie RP fan]

Perhaps record wise. Ravens and Steelers are definitely what gives that division a name.

[Nirvikalpa]

So, you're saying your team is run by a bunch of sell-outs? Sounds almost as honest and morally-sound as some of your players...

[howardroark]

As a Ravens fan who lives in Baltimore, this is the best news I've heard all day!

[KevinR]

We did just play the browns! Maybe their RP supporters rubbed off on him :p

[Esoteric]

when/where was this event? and where is the video?

You just described me. :)

Looks like it was tonight based on RevPac's site. Guess we'll have some more from it later.

[malkusm]

Chris Carr FTW!!! He's always been underrated as a player anyway, it's unfortunate that he's been battling injuries all year.

[RonPaulCult]

Man you are almost as hypocritical as Newt Gingrich! Our team is run by a bunch of sell-outs? You only have a team because Art Modell robbed the city of Cleveland of their beloved Browns, a team that had strong support in their city for 50 years. Our team lacks morally-sound players? Yeah, Ben gets in trouble with the ladies but Ray Lewis was involved in a murder.

[icon124]

OMFG THIS IS AWESOME I AM A RAVENS FAN SINCE 96 when they came here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! YEAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AJ187]

Tweet the guys some revpac info.

[sofia]

this guy could easily fund a few thousand Super Brochures

[robmpreston]

Can you guys not fucking argue over your football teams? Jesus Christ. Playful arguing is fine, otherwise let's keep the thread focused...

How much is there to focus when one football player came out in support of Ron Paul? Not much else to see.

Must have never watched a Steelers/Ravens game, I take it. :p

[robmpreston]

I'm just trolling. I spend half my time on Facebook arguing with Steelers fans. :P

[Jingles]

At this rate the entire NFL will endorse Ron Paul.

[jct74]

Here's one more of his tweets about Ron Paul:


There is many issues on which I disagree with him on, but Ron Paul is my favorite politican ever! Doesn't care what anyone thinks of him


http://twitter.com/#!/triplcarr/status/88636139547791361


It sounds like he is more of a "Blue Republican" judging from that tweet and from some of the people he follows on twitter, like Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman, Joe Klein, etc.

[SchleckBros]

Add Zbikowski and Billy Cundiff to the list of Ravens players on the Ron Paul bandwagon :D

[James Madison]

Maybe he'll score a pick-6 and celebrate by pulling out a Ron Paul 2012 bumper sticker for the camera.

[robmpreston]

Yeah, glad to see he got back to me about Zbikowski and Cundiff :)

[RonPaulCult]

Add Zbikowski and Billy Cundiff to the list of Ravens players on the Ron Paul bandwagon :D

Son of a bitch - please don't make me like the ravens.

[rich34]

Any chance on getting these NFL players to max out on Dec. 16th, boy that would be awesome and a much needed boost!

[robmpreston]

He also posted Schiff and Scheuer videos on his twitter tonight - guess he was impressed by them at the RevPAC event

[malkusm]

Add Zbikowski and Billy Cundiff to the list of Ravens players on the Ron Paul bandwagon :D

Source? Because I need to link this to my friends (I'm a Maryland native and big Ravens fan) :p

EDIT: Never mind, I see it on Carr's twitter. Awesome!

[tsetsefly]

So I was looking at the Chris Carr follows Ron Paul thread and we know a couple of other athletes follow Ron Paul but we dont knwo if they know who they are I thought of creating a twitter account (which i did just in case) athletes4RPaul to see if I could get pro athletes to follow that account so they themselves can connect and we could also see who is a ron paul supporter and maybe get them to donate

Let me know what you guys think...

thread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?335783-Possibly-good-idea-or-really-bad-one...

[jct74]

Billy Cundiff was in the Pro Bowl last year (as a kicker). Pretty awesome.

[Steve-in-NY]

We need more NFL/athlete/musician endorsements.
We can make up for our lack of bankster/crony cash with hard earned pros.

Mainly, if we can ID a few, we can ask them to get involved in some grassroots actions.
For example if they are interested just a few of these guys could easily fund all the current states for the super brochure.
A man can dream...

So I got this idea based on the Chris Carr (Baltimore Ravens player) thread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...Ron-Paul/page7 . Where people where wondering what other athletes support Ron Paul, and from what it seems the players themselves dont know other Ron Paul supporters.

So... I thought an easy way to do this was create the twitter account @Athletes4RPaul, it could serve both ways, ill try to find pro athletes that follow Paul and follow them and hopefully they will follow me. Hopefully we can get some to donate, we know they have max out potential

So if anyone could here post athletes that follow ron paul and their twitter names!

Thanks!

I wonder if he is a lurker.

[Okaloosa]

Start giving him some likes on facebook.

Damn it! Now I have to be a Ravens fan! Ok, Lions v Ravens in the SB. I will be cool with that. :D

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chris-Carr/174698535900057?sk=wall

I'm not entirely sure that's his facebook page, there's a posting on there seeming to indicate it's fake and the posts aren't much like his tweets, but it couldn't hurt to like it. The twitter account is legit though, if anyone wants to follow him he doesn't even tweet that much so it won't fill up your timeline.

http://twitter.com/#!/triplcarr

[Rudeman]

Followed him on twitter even though I'm not a Raven fan.

[cucucachu0000]

we gotta show crazy love to his endorsers to make the your a racist too reaction softer. i say swamp him with follows and supportive tweets.

Saints just released him yesterday. Clearly they hate freedom.
