Just something cool from my hometown (and UNDEFEATED) Baltimore Ravens!
http://www.baltimoreravens.com/News/Articles/2008/09/Ravens_Rock_the_Vote.aspxMembers of the Ravens took a break from football for a few minutes Monday, as representatives from Rock the Vote came to team headquarters in Owings Mills, Md., at the request of linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo.
Ayanbadejo recruited the entire organization to come to the Ravens’ cafeteria for a non-partisan voter registration drive, and in the end, a mix of 24 Ravens players, coaches and staffers registered to vote in Maryland. Another five lined up their absentee forms for their home states.
Out of a team where most are already registered to vote in the 2008 election, those numbers are certainly more than a humble beginning.
But it was only the start of what Ayanbadejo hopes will become a groundswell of support not just in the Baltimore area, but across the NFL and nation.
