Tony Gonzalez gets naked for PETA

Former Kansas City Chief Tony Gonzalez is no furry.

The Atlanta Falcons tight end is swearing off fur coats and stripping down for PETA as part of the "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Tony G. told the AJC that he's buff because he's a vegan.

He added:

"We should be protecting animals, not sacrificing their lives for the sake of fashion or luxury. October and I have changed many of our habits in light of the inhumane treatment of animals that occurs not only in the fur industry but also on factory farms."


But what about pigskin?

I'm not complaining, especially since Gonzalez' wife, October, decided to join him.

Unless this is a recent change, Gonzalez is not a vegan. He was on the record as saying he eats some lean animal protein (fish and chicken) because, well, soy protein just doesn't cut it.

A person who eats McDonald's is now the judge of who is healthy enough to be a professional athlete?

I'm surprised that a vegan is healthy enough to be a professional athlete. Good for Tony, but I love McDonald's double cheeseburgers too much to ever quit eating animals.
