NFL star running back Arian Foster is voting for Ron Paul! (tube added)

[SlowSki]

It might have been a joke, but Arian Foster just said he is voting for Ron Paul.

My husband was watching NFL Network, and during the game Arian Foster runs up to a ref who is trying to break up a fight between 2 players. Arian says they were just talking politics... that one is a democrat and one is a republican. The ref asks what party he belongs to and he says "green party," but that he is actually voting for Ron Paul.

fantasy football superstar Foster.... perhaps he's been conversing with our friends on Cleveland.

[jct74]

wut? how could you hear what the players were saying? when was the game?

[Brandon Todd Carr]

I hope we can get a tube, he is a great running back.

[thoughtomator]

it would be great if he would shave "Ron Paul 2012" into the side of his head

[rp713]

hell yeah. foster baby! love my texans even more now!!!

I've heard Foster do a radio interview or two....he's a kind of odd, but sharp guy. It wouldn't surprise me if he actually did support Ron.

[Travis]

We need to go out and get the TEBOW endorsement. Tebow was home schooled, I could see Tebow supporting Ron Paul. Their both underdogs that pull off last minute wins!!! :D

[Michael Landon]

There is a good chance that Foster supports Paul. I noticed that Foster follows Joe Rogan and Donte Stallworth on Twitter, and they have both come out in support of RP.

Supposedly it was an old game from last week being replayed. They took the audio footage from last week (that you usually can't hear) and played it during the repeat of the game.

Thanks. That is really funny that he was talking about Ron Paul on the field with the refs. Would love to see video of this but doubt it will ever surface. Not many people even have that channel on their cable service.

[jct74]

Whoa. Just checked his twitter history on topsy.com, check out this tweet from him back on July 11:


Because i voted for Ron Paul RT @12thManMissouri why aren't you on the cover of #madden???

https://twitter.com/#!/arianfoster/status/90522694495375360

Retweet it!

[sailingaway]

Nice!

[trey4sports]

things keep getting better. dude is awesome

[cdw]

Good stuff with Foster. Best running back in the game right now. Now if he could only tweet something about saturday's moneybomb to his followers...

And as much as I think Tebow is over hyped (thanks Skip Bayless), I have to admit that an endorsement by him would be pretty big with the Evangelical crowd. Alas, it'll have to be in the offseason, which for him will start Saturday around midnight after my Patriots wipe the field with him ;)

[jct74]

I don't really understand his connection between being on the cover of Madden and voting for Ron Paul, but I'm guessing he is a supporter, unless he just likes to crack jokes all the time about voting for Ron Paul. I think we need a confirmation tweet from Arian to clear this up and generate some attention.

[joshnorris14]

As a Gator fan, I would actually like Ron Paul more if Tebow endorsed him... Tebow is to us what Jesus is to Christians.

When did Stallworth endorse? I always thought he was a smart dude, too bad about the manslaughter...

That's really funny considering Peyton Hillis is on the cover of Madden 12! :D

Ohhhhh the irony hahaha

[btwilli1]

Let's wait and see if Tebow pulls it out this week, if he doesn't he'll just getting a media firestorm and we don't want to be mixed up in that.

Too bad my ravens will have to destroy arian this Sunday. But hey, chris carr is also a rp guy so it'll be fine if its him laying the wood

[jax]

The funny thing is, a Tim Tebow endorsement right now would probably be more influential than a palin endorsement. We could take florida

[jersdream]

Stallworth :|. That man should be in prison.

[jct74]

Found the clip.

where? on your DVR/Tivo?

This is a great idea! If no conservative/Republican is brave enough to endorse Ron Paul, let's try to get some influential athletes/celebrities to endorse.

[jct74]

Found the clip.

can you get it up on the tubes? fill us in. I'm dying to have a clip of this thing.

[jct74]

Arian Foster is definitely one of the top running backs in the NFL, if not the best. This Sports Illustrated article ranks him as #1, at least in terms of fantasy football rankings (ability to rack up good stats):
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/eric_mack/12/09/fantasy-football-preview/index.html

[KramerDSP]

As a Floridian, I guarantee you that a Tebow endorsement would shock the state to its' foundations.

[papitosabe]

I've heard Foster do a radio interview or two....he's a kind of odd, but sharp guy. It wouldn't surprise me if he actually did support Ron.

he was interviewed my a lady reporter and she was saying how he was weird...you could tell he was a little annoyed, but said something like, I dunno, I think I'm different, some may call it weird..
he just seems reserved to me...same with Andre Johnson... some call RP weird... I like it when people do their own thing... I don't have twitter/facebook, but would be cook if someone could contact him and see if he would wear an RP hat or shirt...I bet he would..

[jct74]

tuuuube!!!!!

NFL players are rich, can we get them to donate to the campaign AND the PAC!!!!

[Yoddle]

wut? how could you hear what the players were saying? when was the game?

Yeah... Some of the players wear mics..

[ONUV]

$2500 should be easy but he doesn't make that much compared to other elite nfl players. he was undrafted out of college. he should get a big raise soon.

Hillis is being too subtle here, he needs to come out and let people know how he really feels!

Okay. So now I'm a Texan fan until they face the 49ers in the Super Bowl.

[nobody's_hero]

wut? how could you hear what the players were saying? when was the game?

The refs wear microphones on their collars so when they make a call, they can say what the call/penalty was as well as use hand signals.

He must have forgot to turn his mic off when he wasn't using it.

[Liberty74]

Someone get these football players to donate $2500 today. :p

Also, post these videos to your Facebook walls. I don't follow football but many of my friends are all about football. Some of them might connect...because they will watch anything football related.

Ron Paul would easily win Florida with a Tebow endorsement.

no, Arian was wearing a mic for the game. he agreed to do it for a show called Sound FX on NFL Network.

[Crystallas]

In case you didn't hear the end.

"...I'm in the green party." Then a quick a long-story-short moment, where he twitches his eye contact back the refs and says "I'm voting for Ron Paul."

[mport1]

I tweeted at him to see if we could get a confirmation of his support.

[sunghoko]

It's the battle of Ron Supporters as Chris Carr of the Ravens battles Arian Foster of the Texans tomorrow.

If Tebow came out to support to Ron Paul, Florida is his

[jersdream]

A Tebow endorsement would not matter. He's not a politician. When push comes to shove sports doesn't matter. Look at Lynn Swann in Pennsylvania of all places. He lost the race for governor by 20 points.

http://dailycaller.com/2012/01/12/gop-hopefuls-pray-for-tebow-endorsement/

He told the AP, that several GOP hopefuls have asked for his endorsement. Apparently he's pretty damn important. He's captured the nations attention, been parodied on SNL, mentioned in the debates, defended by the Christian Right, made pro life commercials.

A Tim Tebow endorsement would go a LONG LONG way. He's the biggest story in the country right now.

Yeah, but what if he loses tonight? :)

[jersdream]

Tim Tebow has been eliminated. Good. Also no, his endorsement wouldn't matter. They are asking for his endorsement to get desperate attention. It would make no difference. If Lynn Swann, one of the most beloved Steelers players EVER, loses by 20 points in a statewide race....it really shows you how much sports matters to people in the end. NONE.

[LukeP]

Great game so far by Foster.

Don't be ignorant. If Tebow said he endorsed RP a million brain dead zombies would be Googling Ron Paul, and how many have been converted once they got passed the media spin and actually looked him up?

[JJ2]

Foster's Texans are now eliminated. Too bad. Imagine if he had gotten to the Super Bowl, and talked about Ron Paul during media week. :)

[kylejack]

Arian Foster had a great day today, even though Texans lost. The espn twitter feed said he might not be human. ;)

Even though Chris Carr was inactive, he's still in the playoffs for the Ravens. He's a ron paul supporter as well

[justinjj]

He's a member of the "Green Party" so he supports Ron Paul - and because of his support for Ron Paul he can't be on the Madden cover. The innuendo there is that he supports Ron Paul because he wants to legalize marijuana..and hey there's nothing wrong with that.
